Have a great idea. All those questions everyone has can come to the Diamond Club meeting tomorrow for 11:30am at Russo park and ask the coach directly.

I can tell u this, if there is one coach in America that is overly cautious about running guys out on the mound because they are not “ready” it Tony.Quote:

I'm sure the decision to put Veillion on the mound seemed right at the time for Robe or he would not have put him in. Veillion is a great young man. As bad as we feel losing the way we did, trust me, he feels 10 times worse.Quote:

Still, with the long known uncertainty of his return in any form, it seems to me UL should have had ample time to find another Friday night starter.
2 Friday night caliber starters should not be out of the question at this point in time.
I'm not questioning whether it was right or wrong. It was unexpected. If the team comes out on Friday night wearing grays, I'd ask a similar question. Curious to know how he came to that decision based on all the surrounding evidence.Quote:

I think McKinnon would have been a better option to PH at tech in that situation. Any pitcher on the roster from last season would have been better to close Saturday. IMOQuote:

It's pretty sad that .258 is an improvement from 2018.Quote:

The Veillon thing was just a disaster. I wish Tony would have saved that experiment for when we were playing a team that wasn't as good. I'm no coach, though. The Bearcats are a historically a good club. Take the conference affiliation out of it.Quote:

Just start winning some games and slowly climb out of the cellar. They are much better than 1-6. Just need to play like it.
Very perceptive posts Raginscotsman and GreatestStory. There is no way to spin the Veillon thing. It was a long odds bet that crapped out.
Too bad some don’t think it should be questioned...Quote:

Its not going to be a seamless process but I have faith he knows what he’s doing. Surprised how quick some of you are to doubt him. Have the last couple seaons really been that bad?Quote:

If you are comparing the standard that was set while Coach Deggs was a member of his staff with the past three seasons of not making a regional, then yes it has been bad. Coach Robichaux has said it is not the standard he set for this program and built a quality stadium to. That is the reason he made the changes in his staff.
......I once heard Robe refer to a guy that was a pitcher that “Fell in love with aluminum” and played a regular position but got drafted as a pitcher....somebody know? I don’t!Quote:
