3. Questionable pitching decisions. Tried to "save" pitchers and then would end up not even throwing them. Putting guys in bad positions causing them to fail hurting their confidence. Putting guys who repeatedly fail on the mound while others who fail one time sit forever. Pitching our shortstop unnecessarily.

4. Predictable pitch call selection.

5. Didn't get any LHP out of the portal when he knew we only had one veteran LHP on the roster.
1) Arm issues are going to happen especially considering how many games these kids play even before arriving on campus. Could some of it be Foxhall of course but he wasn?t an issue till this year.

2) Mechanics has very little to do with control and more to do with velo. Focus has more to do with control. See Fristoe. Great one inning horrible the next.

3) Lemo makes the final decisions so wouldn?t this be on him?

4) Maybe or maybe not. When you have limited pitchers and pitchers who struggle at times you are going to become predictable. You are always going to try to get ahead in the count and if you don?t have pitchers who are comfortable with anything other than one pitch at that time you are going to call it.

5) That?s on Lemo as much as it is Foxhall again
