Mangum in to pitch..

[57stratdawg]

Top 9. Bases juiced. 1 out. MSU with a 3 run lead.

So he got a save

how did he look, was not able to watch then.?

Not very good. Walks….

 

[Faustdog]

Yeah, he definitely struggled. Just basically had a hard time putting the ball in or near the strike zone.

 

[Arthur2478]

He had some control issues with the 1st two batters, but having your leadoff hitting centerfielder come in for the bottom of the 9th in the 2nd game of a double header for his 1st ever pitching appearance doesn't seem like the best move.

With our bullpen is there a good move in that situation?

Pretty much anybody else who hasn't already played 18 innings of baseball and never thrown a college pitch in their life.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm with

you. I thought it was an extremely odd situation to put Jake in, at that point.

 

[Arthur2478]

I like Cannizaro and I think he will be good for us, but he has made some obvious rookie mistakes this 1st month especially concerning the handling of the bullpen.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Honestly, I can give him

a pass on most pitching issues this year, mainly because our staff is such a cluster17.

What I guess I'm saying is that with any semblance of a pitching staff, he wouldn't be making some of these calls.
