Looking like we are going to end this season in flames. Down 6-0 in the top of the 3rd. Houston has the bases loaded with 2 outs.

Yep. In addition to that Graf said that he did a full bullpen and workout yesterday as we had been told no games on Thursday. We weren't told till after the game that we would play today. So yes he didn't have it today.

Maybe I'm just not getting it. We gave up NINE walks in four innings. Aren't you taught from Little League days that if you want to be a pitcher, you have to be able to throw the ball over the plate? Either you can or you can't. If you can't, then how does the pitching coach have anything to do with it? If you walk that many batters, you're going to lose a lot of games, even if your offense has Mickey Mantle, Barry Bonds, Jose Altuve and Aaron Judge in it.
To me, this reeks of lack of talent on the pitching staff.

In the end, when things fall apart, as they have the last two years, it is inevitably about a combo of talent and coaching. The fact remains, this is the worst two year performance for TU baseball over the last 60 years, maybe ever. It's a BIG problem.

Agree. How anyone can't see that it's a lack of talent and coaching is beyond the pale.RobertM320 wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 10:29 am Maybe I'm just not getting it.

Yep, Jewitt IS the man for the program!
I think everyone agrees lack of talent on the pitching staff. (Definitely the bullpen) We’re not losing games because of lack of scoring or hitting. We are horribly coached running the bases. You can’t expect to score 10 runs to have to win and then that may not be enough.winwave wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 10:55 amAgree.

Well then you changed your mind since yesterday. Glad you've seen the light. Most also agree that we lack talent position player wise especially at catcher and SS.

Either they were all crappy pitchers, and we recruited them, or they've never had the coaching here at Tulane to pitch strikes and get better. At the end of the day, it's on the coaches.RobertM320 wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 10:29 am Maybe I'm just not getting it. We gave up NINE walks in four innings.

Thanks Spoooon. 200 is a great number!
I’ve always said this year we have two starters that can win. Nothing much behind that. Sunday’s are hitters day for most teams. We should be able to compete there. And midweek we have enough talent to beat most of the schools in state. We need a good closer, better pen and better coaching. (Read each series thread and you’ll see where I say “no bullpen again” almost every time). We don’t have Regional talent this year. But I thought last year we had enough talent to be a Regional club and I’ll continue to believe that.

But that's my point, Steve. I can understand coaching can help a pitcher manage a game better, but if a guy isn't throwing strikes by the times he's a senior in high school, then we shouldn't be recruiting them as a pitcher to begin with. So are we just recruiting crappy pitchers?NOLABigSteve wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 11:07 amEither they were all crappy pitchers, and we recruited them, or they've never had the coaching here at Tulane to pitch strikes and get better.
