What Cohen needs

[Bulldogg31]

Thinking how frustrating it was last year to see 50 different lineups from Coach Cohen and how hard it was to find continuity.

I think the problem last year was the lack of "must-starts" both from hitters and pitchers. Just seemed like he had to keep mixing it up waiting for some guys to step up and be consistent.

If I'm Cohen this year I'm looking for 4 or 5 hitters swinging it so well I have to start them every day, regardless of lefty/righty match ups. I'd also hope for a solid Friday night and Saturday afternoon starter that I know I'm giving the ball to every weekend. Give me those pieces and I'll take my chances filling in the gaps.

Not too much to ask right?

You forgot to say, "May I..."
I'm not going to say I understand the corch's strategery for naming starting lineups, because I don't.
I'd like to see Ross as the Friday night starter, and get the opposing team tied up with his off speed style, and then come in with a power guy on Saturday.
May I see something like this Corch?

Cohen really likes to play the lefty/righty match ups against opposing pitchers but I'd love to see the top 1/2 of the order hitting it so well he leaves it alone. I really think last year's shuffling was a result of trying to figure out what to do with Wes Rea. His slump really threw the whole lineup off.

Looks like Preston Brown could be our Friday night guy if he keeps throwing like he did tonight. Personally I'd throw Ross Mitchell on Saturday. After watching low-90's all night on Friday Ross's 83mph "heater" might have guys screwing themselves into the ground trying to wait on it. Ross can go 6-8 innings on Saturday, then hit em with heat again on Sunday. Using Ross on Saturday gives you a ton of fresh arms on Saturday.

Hell no on Ross. I want him available to bail us out 1-2 games each weekend. Start him and we only get him once, bullpen and we can use him twice.

iBastard has an incessant need to tinker and ponder and ruminate and cogitate and out-think the opponent. He's f'n ADHD. He is going to monkey around with the lineup because he can't help himself.

Cohen cusses too much. I've heard players don't like him because he cusses. Bless their hearts.
