Kinda weird to me, a pitcher coming not knowing who his pitching Coach will be. Maybe he is a MSU fan at heart, regardless right now we need pitchers, lots of pitchers. My question about pitchers hurt and having surgery, What they will be coming back. I’m pulling for all to be 100% and we get back to MSU baseball. The thing about next year is we don’t need to get off to a slow start.

It may possibly be we have a pitching coach, and he isn’t through playing, but accepted the job per say, and the kids already know… (I may be wrong, but I may also be right)

As we know, there is rumor we made offer and he has said yes.
We have many questions going into next year, let’s hope we come out on fire. We have at least4 everyday position players to replace and lord knows our pitching staff is very iffy right now.
With Todd and 34 pumping sunshine I hope they are right, but I’m still iffy.

Base if they start out slow I'm afraid it will continue to go downhill and resemble the last two seasons. Dawgs must get better players, or State's baseball records in the SEC will look like their football records.

Same as Dortch committing to Cal when they didn't have a QB...guess for some reason they both just thought the situation was better regardless of who filled in there.

I doubt he's gonna be Eric Dubose but he won't walk people and I can see him have a valuable middle relief role. Think Brock Tapper as a comp.
Not everybody has to be a starter or closer. We need guys for the middle innings and midweek.

Truth. I?ll be more than happy to let this guy be our SWAC pitcher.

Perhaps a good comparison would be to look at Xavier Rivas at Ole Miss this year. He had a 2.80 ERA at the University of Indianapolis as a sophomore. They are D2 I believe. This year for Ole Miss he had a 6.75 ERA.

Half the SEC had staff ERA's over 6 in conference play

Pretty sure the Rivas era was all games

Taking a pitcher without a pitching coach sorta implies lemonis is much more involved in pitching roster selection than implied by those that blamed everything on foxhall

Oh there is no doubt Lemon has made some bad choices. He has one last chance to fix it

Of course he was involved. The ones blaming it all on foxhall are nuts. I'm fine with firing foxhall, but he wasn't the only problem

No- but the pitch-calling and the way we handled pitchers changed a little after Fox was let go. So that shows he was a large part of the problem

Good HC wouldn't have waiting almost two full years to see their was a major problem. Sometimes a HC has to take control and let the assistant sit on the bucket. It should have been handled before he fired Foxhall. You think someone like Bertman, Saban, Knight and many others would sit back and watch the ship sink! Hell no!

This makes sense to me. Sounds like his coach wants to get his foot in the door with us. Which means I doubt he is going to send us a lemon.

Rivas was billed as a weekend starter for Ole Miss. That's not necessarily the case with this guy. He's going to have to earn that.

Who is our "rumored" new pitching coach?
