Can someone splain me what happened to our once-poud baseball program?

But that would make them have to play Hannie.

That’s what he is getting at.

That's what he is getting at.

And what happened to Fabulous Frank - he hung the moon on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and nowhere to be found on Monday?

[VObserver]

Yeah. He hits better against better pitching with a softer bat. What's the difference? No coaching in the Cape League, or any summer league and that is just sad. Here's a guy with pure talent who excels when left alone. If he's over-coached, I'm guessing the rest are too.

Damn near everyone who is playing for a coach who is getting paid to coach is getting over coached, especially during games.

We have sucked at recruiting, evaluating talent and coaching hitters. We did hire a new hitting coach and we are seeing signs of improvement, still very inconsistent and some have actually regressed, but still signs.

We need to finish the coaching redo and get recruiting and talent evaluation in new hands.

Not sure. I don't necessarily agree about Hannie. No1 has been a long-time Hannie proponent on this board. He does it a little cryptically many times though. That's why I posted what I did.

Robe just said starting pitcher for tomorrow night is Logan Savoy and Wednesday’s starter is Dalton Horton

Recruiting and developing. Non existent after 2016.

This is a hungry mans game. We've been well fed for too many seasons. It's abundantly clear either we're doing a bad job of recruiting, or just as bad if not worse, can't coach the players we actually get into the program.

Ultimately the head coach is responsible for all things good, or bad.

[babysitter]

He almost got fired the last time he called out RP lol he must not care about his 30k a year job

Part of the 30K is throwing himself on the proverbial UL athletic sword even when your team is 13-16 and hasn’t even gotten into the teeth of their schedule yet. Chasing Rainbows.

And having trouble figuring out who are the good ones even after getting them on campus - strike 3.

[CajunVic]

Let's just quit with all this 💩, this team is 1 and 0 to start the second half of the season and working on a very successful second half.

Part of the explanation is the inevitable cyclical nature of college sports, which I believe. I'd discuss that along with injuries, but that opens the conversation to what can be done to exit the down cycle. Those things can be coaching, development, recruiting, hitting coaches, etc.
