Supposedly Lefty expert and specialist. And one of the best in game callers. Jay has brought this up many times. I don’t see it man. Maybe it’s the players not executing but his last couple stops check the ERA’s of the teams he left afterwards. They go down significantly. I just think he used to be great but the technology might’ve caught up to him.

As far as in game callings....idk I havnt seen it but also don’t know the behind the scenes increments of the game

I don't think he calls right down the gut with two strikes, two run Homer either.

What were they supposed to say in the off-season. "Man we have a lot of unproven talent, I hope they don't get rocked in SEC play"?

Ack and Hurd were key players in our championship run and now they’re getting rocked on saturdays

Are you saying Ack, Hurd, Guidry, and Coleman are inexperienced?

Good point. New guys, aren't any good, old guys are worse.

It’s the players job to execute the game plan. The pitching staff has to meet the moment and compete at a very high level, and they haven’t done that with the level of consistency needed so far, especially in SEC play. That coupled with costly defensive errors almost every game. They will get every team’s best shot every game as defending national champs. As an aside, I have no idea what’s gong on in Hurd’s head these days. He is a shell
of himself at this point in the season. This is a big head scratcher for me.

Hurd is a head case. He can’t find his release point at all

Look, all I know is that aTm sucked last year at pitching and now they’re apparently one of the best pitching staffs in conference. We were an ok pitching staff last year but now we absolutely fricking suck.

This is like a 10,000 piece puzzle with no picture on the pieces.

Actually outside of Skenes. The pitching staff was not great at the beginning of the year. The offense bailed them out a lot

I didn’t say that we were world beaters last year pitching-wise.

Good coaches figure out what their players do best and put them in position to succeed. Bad coaches try to force guys to things they can’t do
