Game 8 vs Delaware

[Maroon Glasses]

I am a master at the up/down adjustments. He should come to me for advice. Can down a beer faster than he can pitch.

The sport of real men! Haha

I think Mac needs to stay in the rotation. I think he will get better week. Foster just isnt there yet and it was very discouraging watching him not make any adjustments out there. Just high FB after high FB. **** Dude- bounce one if you have to but make a damn adjustment. Talent is there but the results arent and down the ladder you go.

No doubt the team USA guys are good and will be major factors to season success. Also, the same size is tiny. I don't list Pitzer below because 1/2 his innings were versus Alcorn. I think Foster would shutout Alcorn and Pitzer would have been more challenged by Hofstra and Delaware.

Batting Average Against ... versus the same Mid Major opponents. Add 40 to 60 points to simulate SEC.

Jackie G 0.071 (no walks)
Ben Davis 0.083
Duke Stone 0.125
Sweeney 0.167

Charlie F 0.304

Davis looks like the best pitcher we have. He actually should be the Friday guy. Butttttt- having a guy like that on the back end to lock games down from the 7th on is valuable also. But it?s still having your best pitching only 2-3 innings per weekend. Is that the best way to do things? We?ll see

Davis fades after 2 innings. He is a relief pitcher all the way. We tried him starting last year and it didn't go very well.

He wasn't following through all the way and it was causing the ball to stay up. He has to handle adversity a little bit better. Foster has talent but I'm not sure what his best role is. Stone definitely should be the Sunday starter. The question then becomes who the midweek starter is- I'm thinking that we're going to with Kirk or maybe Miller on Tuesday.

Foster needs to get in the lab with Parker and get to work figuring some things out.

I?m not taking much away from that game outside of a win. That?s the worst wind I?ve ever sat through.

BOC said in his press conference they put a little extra work in pregame because of it and it paid off for us today.

Damn- I'm starting to love this coaching staff.

[Todd4State]

For those talking about errors- right now MSU is number one in the SEC in defense. We're also 7th in hitting and 6th in pitching right now as well in case y'all are wondering.

Foster gives me bad visions of Loftin..........

Gives me good visions. Keep working him. His only bad appearances have been starts. From the pen, has been very good. Even in the SEC and Regional

He's not the same pitcher he was last March.

I pitched for 25 years- I know what he was doing. My issue was that he made no adjustments and kept doing the same thing over and over.

He didn't just miss up, he's off time and off spot right now, and the mound and the lab and the mound are miles apart. For some reason he's all sped up, his issues are in the worst spot for a pitcher, the 6 inches between his ears. He's got stuff, just has to do it and trust it.

Our official scorer cheats. Thats why. He's skimmed at least 5 errors off the books. Giving Woodson a double on a dropped flyball was a bad look as well

He's talented and will figure it out eventually but he is not who I would run out there vs the #1 team in the country on Sunday if I had a choice. And we have a choice
