BB G1 Final: Louisiana 11, Coastal 9

It ain’t Seth, brother. Trust me on this.

Man, if this is the case, then I’m worried we are in worse shape than I thought.

The lack of pitching development the last few years has been very concerning.

[CajunVic]

My sources (which are several) indicated that the whole pitching staff knew the plans for this week and the intended rotations well in advance.

That is one of the reasons that I sorta had confidence in the potential of that system for this week. Since we are expected to fall flat this weekend under ordinary and expected circumstances, why not try something different?

Keep in mind that the games will dictate how much the coaching staff can stick through the intended path. So far, so good.

Well if the boys are saying they knew their roles in advance, that’s a huge step in the right direction.

I still don’t like the plan. BUT, I do think we win the series this weekend. We own those clowns.

But you’re leaving out an important part: Who is our “rotation?”

It’s probably not good to give the Chickens our entire game plan, especially since it is designed around variations and the unknown.

So when most of D1 baseball posts their starting rotation, or keeps the same rotation in place throughout the course of the season, that’s “giving up the gameplan?”

There’s no way you really believe that. And of course we don’t know. No one knows. The pitchers don’t even know. Lol

Hell, you were asking who was going to start Tuesday, so I’m pretty sure you didn’t even know. And that’s saying something, considering you would have had to drive in to see the game!

Just because I was asking does not mean I did not know.

As for teams posting their rotations, we are seeing more and more TBA for the second and third games. And tell me if I’m wrong, but the only information provided by posting the three game starting rotation is who will make the first pitch of the game, if they stick to it?

This concerns me, because listening/reading quotes from Deggs sounds like the staff is 100% in ST's hands. There was a quote that, and I'm recalling from memory, indicated Deggs was happy that ST left a certain pitcher in in a situation. Who's running the staff?!

My main request of pitchers this weekend.

Avoid walks, and hitting batters, then things may go well for you.

That is a solid request for any pitcher that may take the mound, from time to time, through the entire weekend.

More of this is beneficial to a good ole fashion Chicken Chokin this weekend.

Please Lord do not let us start hitting batters. #1 killer of this weeknd
