Injuries, youth, and losing Clemens and the pitchers we did have contributed to our shitiness. Many thought this year was going to be a step back in terms of record. That said, two things are very wor

It all started when that bro stopped the LSU bus and hit it with a broom.

This is so bad that Del Conte is thinking of making Shaka the interim baseball coach.

At the beginning of the year when we were not  hitting everyone was saying the schedule and quality pitching and and pitchers ahead of hitters and all that. 

 

Now its its apparent we are terrible at the plate. We don’t have a single hitter over .300 (save Gauntt who has three at bats). Not a single one.  

 

If we aren’t gifted walks it is extremely difficult for us to score.  Couple that with average pitching and below average fielding (and McCann chasing balls 1-4 times a game) and you get what you see.

On the upside they have shown they can catch fire and they compete, but I think there is a def talent gap.  Either we aren’t recruiting or we aren’t developing them.  Should make for an interesting stretch run to see if we can squeak into and make some postseason noise.  

 

And as I type this another ball past McCann.  Not surprised.

He’s been such a disappointment this season

 

He’s gotta be mind fucked from the number of warning track shots he’s hit this year

IIRC, he was kinda knocking the shit out of the ball earlier in the year only for it to be caught on the warning track or some outfielder making some freakish catch. Though it did piss me off last year when Hamilton had that elevate like hr swing while Zubia has this flat line drive kind of swing.

  • Agree with first  3 paragraphs. 
  • Injuries to Hamilton and DJ are killing the defense...  and to some extent hurting the offense.  
  • Pierce just brought in a good class in his first complete year of recruiting.  The Freshman 2B, and Kennedy have performed well for their youth. 
  • Lack of roster talent is partially Augie's fault, and part Pierce's for not bringing in a few more Juco's.
  • Zubia, Reynolds and Ellis do fall on current staff for lack of development.

And we have a volunteer pitching coach.  And our pitchers are not good. Not saying that’s a coincidence but maybe it is?

Well, we had fallen off talent and recruiting and win-wise.  Pierce did make his own fortune last year to help with the highly ranked class.

Zubia, Reynolds, and Ellis are his, but still "transition-y" players and not necessarily overly talented.

How exactly were we supposed to bring in more JUCO’s when we had Hamilton, DJ, Todd, Ellis, Reynolds and Hibbeler all slated as starters with guys like Shaw and McCann who had an ocean of playing time. Then guys like Ford, Kennedy and Reagan coming in? Not to mention the amount of pitchers we returned/brought in?

Liked your first 3 paragraphs from before... went back and fixed it.

Pitching falls on both Pierce and the pitching coach Haig.... Pierce coached pitchers at Rice.

Haig is a hell of a coach..... when most of Better pitchers on the roster are young arms, then you get the current results.

Sounds like you have better handle on the roster than me.... Sorry -- my bad.

Just thought there was room for 2 more juco hitters to be added to 2019 roster.
