I do think its capable of doing that but i doubt it will.Quote:

Everything he throws is hard no off speed at all. Nezuah is a thrower not a pitcher. No offspeed pitches at all. He is more suited to close with his fastball. Man I miss the days of a lefty starter who can mix it up like Leger. We have no one like that in years.
We’ve lost to 4 and 8, down 1-0 to 11 and beaten 10,13 and 14. We don’t play 5,7,9 and have 1,3,6 and 12 left.
More college consistency
So. MISS 0
Coastal 13
After 2

I think you are giving examples that are more of “that’s baseball” than inconsistency. Yes, college teams are going to have games where they just crap the bed. What we are watching with this team is double digit strikeouts from the offense AND double digit free bases by the pitching staff over and over and over. Many of us have been watching this program for decades. While we’ve had some really bad teams, I’ve never seen a team swing through so many fastballs and not be able to throw strikes at the clip we are witnessing. Unless we take these next two, we will have still failed to win a single series against a team with a winning record.Quote:

And all the comments about “consistency”. Consistency in baseball is winning 2 of 3 on the weekends and about the same in the aggregate during midweek games.
If you’re looking for consistency from game to game, or in some of the comments, inning to inning, you’re watching the wrong sport.
That said, the handling of the staff last night was atrocious and cost a game that should have been a win. All of the griping about the offense….well they scored 8 runs. That’s really good. And it probably should have been more without some terrible base running decisions.
Consistency in baseball is playing the game fundamentally sound. Not giving free passes. Putting the ball in play. Not running yourself out of innings. You can hit the ball on the nose 27 times, pitch and play lights out defense and lose 1-0. Tip your cap. And that can happen 3 nights in a row and you wouldn’t hear a single complaint from me. That’s NOT what this team is doing this year.
Not many college teams do that.
But ok
Our very own program did these things very well and often prior to ~2017

We have moved from a program with 3 or 4 solid starters year in, year out, to a team of middle relievers taking turns starting.
Nezuh has one pitch and is a starter somehow. That might work playing JMU. So Miss and Coastal will eat that ____ up.
It apparently doesn’t work against JMU either.Quote:
