And why has Massey not played? I assume both of these players have scholarship $$$. This is a head scratcher.
If TJ is not going to use them, then cut them loose. I know Massey’s a sr, so this should have happened in the fall. Who’s making this call, Latham, TJ, Tulane protocol.....
Don’t tell me it’s walks. Other TU pitchers have similar control issues but have been given multiple opportunities with inconsistent results.
I hope Bates doesn’t walk at the end of this season.
Why is Josh Bates not playing?

I will never understand Massey.
Tell me a legit program that retains a coach with a below .500 record after three years.

With Massey the kindest way to put it is that it's personal. Jewett has failed miserably in a lot of areas but there's nothing any coach could do here. It's above their pay grade.
No legit program does that. Barring a miracle comeback in this tournament I expect him to be fired.

Pitchers are bad, can’t throw strikes. Jewett fires pitching coach. Brings in new pitching coach Latham who had had 6-7 top 25 era staffs in a row at sela, and pitchers are still bad and can’t throw strikes.
Maybe it’s just because these pitchers are just bad and not aac quality. That is on Jewett and co to recruit better ones. Hopefully these new ones coming in are better next year.
Honestly it doesn’t matter who is coaching a lot of our pitchers.

Does anyone have an answer to why Bates is out? Injury? Lost control? Fell out of favor with coaching staff? Or just doesn't focus on the catchers glove enough?

Control issues and the fact that he won't follow Latham's instructions to correct his mechanics.

There are guys on the team that get run out there every week with the same problem throwing strikes but with none of the upside
