Why….
- Thread starter thekimmer
- Start date
He actually a tailor made ground ball where the SS used to play that scored two because of the shift and poor, poor OF play.
No lead is safe with any of our relievers. And starters too. Hope he pulls a Kiffin in the Portal. Can we now advertise that we have a lot of openings?
Everyone who complains about our pitching choices never seems to propose who they would trot out to the mound instead. There simply are just no good options in our bullpen right now.
Cheatam has looked decent his last few outings. I don't think Jack Walker has pitched since he started against Jackson State. They can't be any worse than what is being thrown out there now. You have to try something different.
You bring in Preston Johnson in Game 1 to try and win a freaking game. A&M brought in their Game 2 starter out of the pen Friday and they have a much better bullpen than us.
You don't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.
It's reasonable to think that if we go Brandon Smith/Preston Johnson Game 1 and Cade Smith/KC Hunt game 2, we are up 2-0.
Sunday would be a challenge but so what. Preston could probably come back for an inning or 2 on Sunday. And Sunday would be the time to give Fristoe, Tepper, Talley, Kohn their innings.
What if we are down on Friday? That's simple, don't pitch Preston and let him start Saturday. We already know Preston is comfortable out of the pen.

Didn’t KC Hunt blow the game last night? So what makes you think he would’ve locked down game two? Everyone in our bullpen sucks. Whoever we run out there is going to blow up so y’all will complain about literally everyone who pitches because they all suck.
KC is our 4th best pitcher, so that's why I had him 4th. My reasoning is that Cade Smith and KC could have held A&M to 5 runs or fewer for the win. KC needs a clean inning, but he really didn't pitch too bad last night if you watched the game.
We have to pitch guys like this because our bullpen depth is atrocious. Not sure why that’s so hard for some to understand. We have four key arms that have been out for a large portion of the season with injuries and several others who haven’t developed well to this point.
Gotta stop pretending we have a ton of good options to work with right now. We absolutely don’t.

You mean how KC shut down Florida last Saturday?
We have no one. Nothing works with this pitching staff.
I am halfway surprised that somebody hasn’t threatened bodily harm to some of these relief pitchers or even the starters who put the offense many runs down in the early innings.
We don't have a ton of good options, that's why you close with PJ if you have a chance to win.
Exactly what are other choices? I have seen Fristoe look great one outing and pitiful the next

Else We Have...
At this point of the season you should be acclimated to the performance we are going to get outta our pen this season.
I would recommend finding something else to do like maybe fishing? At least until next year.
