How insightful

You could have just said "I think Mainieri waited too long to pull Poche'"


But either way it would have been a really shitty thread soooo....

When a pitcher overthrows first base 2 times in a row and it stays in his head the rest of the game is when you should remove a pitcher.

ETA:

I have seen LSU 2 and BBQ with some good pitchers on the bench. Fresh arms aren't worth much if you tap out.

You've been in several threads complaining about what's said or not said
Why do you even comment?
Oh, I guess you are really angry about the loss.

The timing involved with removing a pitcher is easy. Watch the replay after the game and decide. It's totally fool proof.

If I remember correctly, didn't Poche have 2 strikes on the last batter he faced? What if he would have struck that batter out and found a way to get out of the inning? The game might have gone completely different. I thought he was still pitching ok, but was leaving more pitches up in the zone and TCU was taking advantage of it. The coaches made a decision to give him a chance to get out of the inning but it didn't work. That's baseball. Of course watching the replay makes it clear when he should have been pulled. Too bad Mainieri can't see into the future. We'd have a lot more wins this year.

Paul has never mastered the art of the bullpen. He always leaves guys out there too long and rarely send someone down to warm up soon enough. Other teams tend to send two guys at the first sign of trouble. We wait till a run gets walked in to get a guy ready usually.

A pitcher overthrowing first base should have absolutely no bearing on when he gets taken out of the game. He had 9 up 9 down at that point and both of those balls were weakly hit. Should have had retired 11 straight.

The next inning when his shite started getting knocked all around the yard and he couldn't locate any of his pitches and the game started slipping away might have been a good time though.

PM lets them rot on the mound. Breaks confidence of great pitchers for their next games. When the pitcher cant throw a strike on a 3-0 count knowing the batter is not swinging, after leaving his curve ball up in the zone begging to be crushed, then looking to dug with begging eyes, its beyond time to get him out. This is not a new trend.

Sometimes Mainieri just looks lost in the dugout when things are going wrong. Get up and do something about it!! You are the head coach, afterall

Red faced like he is mad at the situation but refusing to do his job or not requiring someone on his staff to do their job.

IMO sometimes a pitching change should be made for the sake of change. For example if a pitcher is pitching well but his defense behind him is playing bad. The coach cannot replace the whole defense but he can change pitchers to try to turn things around.

Poche pitched well enough to win but his errors cost them. He should have been pulled when he walked the batter on 4 pitches to load the bases.

After the first error, PM should have been weary. Then the second error comes, PM should have known for sure that the errors were in his head. He should have had somebody in the bullpen right after that inning, brought Poche back in, and then make the change as soon as he saw he couldn't locate anymore

When to remove a pitcher

Is pretty simple when you think about it.
If the pitcher gives up a run, you should have pulled him before he threw that pitch.
If the relief pitcher gives up a run you should have left the other guy in.
All of which requires 20/20 hindsight, a talent in abundance around here.
