Robichaux: There Will Be No Excuses

[CajunJack55]

We should hate mediocre, coaches who fail at their third mission, educating the athlete and developing their moral compass being the first two. You cannot have the third without the first two, and you cannot get a pass by having the first two and failing in the third.

Yep and when people stop caring is when you have a real issue.

I'm sure it is. But it could also be a liability issue for the host facility. Not all of these at bats were lost bc of construction. There were several pitchers shut down this fall due to worlkload issues from the summer

Thanks. I thought i heard that previously..... Is it legal to have other people not affiliated with team pitch for practices? Maybe former players like bama does in football?

I'm sure there are some liability considerations, but at the same time for fan day, old players come back and face our pitchers, but never a pitcher coming back to face our hitters.

Problem is, find me a guy on the street that can throw more than 3 outs of quality pitching. So who are you going to have come pitch? I don't know if you have thrown a baseball as hard as you can several times lately, but your arm begins to hurt before long, especially when it is not in shape. So even former players probably couldn't or wouldn't do it. It's not the same as getting a field manager to catch bull pens. So it's a tough issue to figure out.
