I think we can bounce back and still get a regional invite. The way we pitched and played today was typical of a getting-your-hopes-up Tulane team. As Tulane fans you'd think we'd be numb to this type of result at a critical junction. But we're gluttons for punishment.
Tulane'd again.

Maybe TJ can be team janitor. He always makes crap decisions that need to be cleaned up.

Typical Tulane fiasco
Speak softly but carry a bigschtick! In Sumrall We Trust!
No doubt a very disappointing day. Olthoff and Aldrich were used too much early on in the season because the staff had no idea and no trust of what we had in the bullpen. It led to Olthoff suffering arm fatigue and having to skip the conference opening series. His defense also gave him no help today. Our defense is just hard to watch and then throw the shifts on top of that and it spells disaster. Anybody paying attention knew Cincy isn't good but they aren't bad. Other than sweeping WSU we haven't beat anyone decent or better. Maybe if we get swept and go 2 n Q he doesn't come back but unfortunately I think he'll get one more year. He doesn't deserve it as it is a poorly coached team.

The Jewett era is the epitome of getting Tulane’d. He has achieved nothing in his tenure to even have his job now. If being a 3 seed at this point in his career at TU is job-worthy, after a taking over a program in great shape, then the donors left (or, more likely, their estates) have no one to blame but themselves. The decision-making at Tulane has been nothing short of God awful for my entire life - athletically and academically. “What a waste” sums the last 40 years well.
I fully expect no changes to be made. BUT, if Dannen has aspirations, and I suspect he does, a series loss at UC should end Jewett’s tenure before the aac tourney even starts.

Really glad Jewitt let Ohltoff get all those early pitches in this year. Nice and fresh as really important part of schedule appears. Desperate coaches do desperate things. Pitching other guys early does two things, develops pitching depth and saves your best pitchers arms esp those with first round potential.

He'd have had it today but for being used and abused by TJ early on. He has cost the kid millions.

He wasn’t even drafted last year. I have a different opinion on his struggles. He’s been a bad pitch strikeout artist all year. Reminds me a lot of Barth Melius from the 2001 CWS era. As the season went on AAC teams that had the book on him knew to lay off and not chase and wait for his fastball. Yesterday was a prime example. He walked two batters in one inning because they didn’t chase bad pitches. Cincinnati was patient at the plate. As for Trent J his MO was to deliver a fastball strike and get ahead in the count. Cincinnati knew that and tee’d off him early in the count. We never won a series against a quality opponent all year. We are going to have to win the tournament to get in IMO. We’ve now lost 3 of our last 4 games. Not good if you want an At-large-bid.
Freak injuries piling up at the worst time. We missed Lee yesterday. Now Baumgardt out as well.
Our pitching staff is not AAC material for the most part. And that falls squarely on the head coach who's strong suit was supposedly recruiting. Obviously Vandy hasn't missed a beat since Jewett left. Really would like to see someone with Tulane or local/state ties come in and reverse this trend.

That early over use caused him to miss a start. Things didn't change use wise when he came back. It's an accumulative affect.Profoundwizard wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 11:55 pmA bit of stretch to say that right now.winwave wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 11:48 pm Jewett throws Olthoff under the bus:

He wasn't drafted because the draft was only 5 rounds. His issues are because he doesn't have any bite on his breaking pitches anymore due to arm fatigue. We swept WSU . No doubt we have to win the tourney now that we can't even win this series. Before that making the CCG wold have done it. We need to now take the approach staff wise of setting up for the tourney. Lee is a big loss no doubt . Baumgardt will be missed too.Show Me wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:02 amCome on that’s not even close.winwave wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 11:48 pm Jewett throws Olthoff under the bus:

And even with all that we still lost early season series to some nobody programs. The only reason this season isn’t already totally in the crapper is because we got to load up a bunch of W’s against some AAC bottom dwellers. It’s pretty apparent we struggle with even the middle-of-the-pack teams.Jaxwave wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 11:34 pm Really glad Jewitt let Ohltoff get all those early pitches in this year.

It's funny that pitchers get arm fatigue at various points in the season at all levels from HS to MLB. And it happens at various times of the season. Virtually every pitcher has them, not necessarily every year. And millions of dollars have been spent trying to figure it all out, but the problem seems to get worse, not better.
Good thing some local experts know exactly why Olthoff is going through this. God knows it MUST be all those pitches he threw in that early season game, never mind the thousands upon thousands he threw in between March 2020 and May 2021. And heaven forbid a talented pitcher from OSU go through it when he was in the middle of the Big 12 conference schedule. That couldn't be fatigue it must mean he's just not very good.

He doesn’t put much arm stress with his delivery. He’s a finesse and not a power pitcher. Looks like he’s just a victim of success. Teams figured him out at this point. When he throws strikes he gets hit. Now when he throws balls teams are laying off whereas before they’d swing and miss. They now know they can’t hit his spinners. That’s just what I see.

Jewett throwing Ahltoff u dear the bus smacks of a coach lacking confidence in himself. IMHO that is why he pitches his best arms too many pitches early in the season putting too much emphasis on winning every game in the short term at the expense of the long term success of the season.

And where are the millions of dollars coming into play? He wasn’t getting a signing bonus in that range. As far as I know there’s no reason to believe that he’s seriously injured and going to be permanently compromised because of how he was used this year, so he could still potentially earn millions in MLB if he pans outwinwave wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 7:35 amThat early over use caused him to miss a start.

Yet he literally was taken out of the rotation for the conference opener due to arm fatigue. He throws a lot of breaking balls which puts stress on the arm.tpstulane wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 9:00 am He doesn’t put much arm stress with his delivery. He’s a finesse and not a power pitcher.

People can ignore what happened to him with the arm issues but he clearly was suffering with it because no way does a staff just sit their Friday starter for the opening conference series.
