Our S&C is an embarrassment. New coach has to correct this
It starts here, and the sacrificial offering of an entire pitching class to that ******* Greek god TominosJohnsikas should have been a wake-up punch in the face. No one, and I mean no one has ever heard of so many pitchers going down in the same fashion in such a short time.

Why not try something different at the plate instead of continuing to aggressively get out and shorten his pitch count?

Bunt some? Make them field and throw.

Take some pitches? If you can't hit him, wear him out & raise his pitch count.

Look breaking ball, ignore fastball? If you get caught with a heater, oh well, you ain't hitting him anyway.

Something? Anything?

Charge the mound with Alexander

TT's starter wasn't doing a bad job at all. Into the 6th he had a shutout. The ump started squeezing him a bit then Mo State got a perfectly placed bloop hit to score 3 runs.

That's on Gautreau imo. Westburg should have a take sign till he sees a strike. This guy is killing us with that first pitch breaker... we swing like every time at a non strike, then look at the 0-1 fastball.


Yep, that is on our coaches. When our starting players can't pick up that breaking ball, and then you put a pinch hitter in it's not going to come out good normally. He comes in cold and hasn't experienced the pitches that our starting players have, and you want him to do something that the starters haven't been able to do. If you had one player or two that was having a bad hitting day, then yeah. The problem is that those non-strikes look like strikes and looks like his fastball to our batters and then it drops out of the strike zone, and they either miss swinging at it, foul it off, a pooch hit, or a pop out. They can't get a good barrel on the ball. Also, we just caught a really good pitcher who has his A game going so far.

Henderson and Martin are reckless with kids' arms. Old pricks only care about themselves

This is why if I had a pitcher son who has mlb talent, I would never send him to college if an mlb offer is on the table. College coaches don't care about kids' futures imo

Martin I agree with this comment. Parrish is at 115 pitches after a 2.5 hr delay. He has no business being put back in the game. Self I disagree about. He's just now at 40 pitches and he doesn't put a lot of stress on his arm imo.
