Pitching Lane Forsythe

[Offshore Dawg]

This mid-week was against SEC hitting, not a good move with lane

[Captain Falcon]

Yeah the Forsythe move was strange but I thought our other pitching performances more than made up for it. We lost that game because we didn't hit well enough. Scored two runs without hitting the ball out of the infield and then didn't score again for the last 8 innings of the game.

Lemonis was a master at pushing the right buttons his first three years here, this year he's pushed some buttons that haven't worked out. It happens. But he's also done some good things this year. We've had to totally rebuild our starting rotation and are still somehow getting good starts. Offensively we've been the boom or bust team I thought we'd be. Injuries have really hurt the bullpen but we've gotten some good showings out of that group at times.

About how I feel.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Yeah. I don't like spreadsheet baseball.

Why is the HR-or-Nothing approach taken over?

Does the staff not have confidence in the team's ability to get on base and manufacture runs?

Is it because teams are shifting on our hitters, so they must go over-the-shift?

Following the latest statistical trend?

Like Deltadawg63 says, it won't work in all parks. I don't think it works in TD Ameritrade. You want a team crafted to thrive there, if you are MSU coaches.
