[MWolf]

I'm going to try my best to forget last night ever happened. We need to sweep Marshall. See y'all Thursday.

20 before 10.
But the problem is 15 of our 20 is against Quad 4. Strength of schedule is brutal right now. We need 2 out of 3 this weekend.

Put yourself in Tulane's shoes. Brutal way to lose. Much worse then the final being 7 to 1 or even 7 to 3. If you ever go to their board you will see how much they hate losing to us. I guess it is good to be hated. They are the ones who will do their best to forget what happened. Actually we now need them to start winning a few to help the RPI.

When you are a bad team, finding new ways to lose becomes and art form.

We are not in Tulane's shoes. We are supposed to be good. They stink.

It is always good to beat Tulane, but they are really bad. I watched UNO abuse them in a mid-week a few weeks ago. They are probably the worst team we've played not named Grambling.

I came here after South Al and said we needed to get better to be a good baseball club. People lost their minds. Since then, we've looked pedestrian across the board. Can't quite put my finger on it, but something just feels off compared to the beginning of the season. Theut being out? It matters, but I don't think it changes the makeup of the pitching staff as a whole. DeBo being out? JT is playing GREAT baseball since he's had more opportunities. Hammond struggling? Like I said on RR, he's been a bullpen arm. Maybe he's hitting a wall as a starter with arm fatigue. His last start apparently came with some personal distraction. Which I'll never hold against a player. But even before, something feels off with him.

Yes, 20 before 10 is great. But this is the worst first half schedule we've played in a longggg time. Not saying it doesn't matter, but it's something to consider when evaluating their ceiling.

In college baseball, you might be able to build a lineup with utility guys and have success, but you can not build a pitching staff with swing arms and consistently beat good hitting. Especially when you yank them around, with little to know communication on what their roles actually are. As Tony said over and over, pitchers are different creatures. You have to be able to manage that mentality.

And I think it's chicken _____ not to stand there and give a decent, professional postgame interview to Topham after you either lose or blow leads.

I was not in the mood last night. Any way to listen to a playback?

There's nothing to listen to. He blew off Topham when he tried to ask questions.

If Marlin acted like that, this fanbase would crucify him.

He gave short answers because he was ____ed. As we all should be. It's not that serious. Let's move on.

Who is our pitching coach?

Idk.. but i think its the guy who ran the offense at his previous job. pitching is a craft. And you cant pitch with a football mentality either. You might want to recruit like its football because of the toughness aspect, but i dont think it works that way.

We def need a true pitching coach.

Being ____ed doesn't give you a right to act like that. Again, if Marlin did that, you'd all destroy him. Maybe the attitude of leadership is why this team is so up and down. Be a professional and stand there to field Top's questions.
