I hate to point out one guy but he’s the sole reason we aren’t at least going to make the tournament. This team has tons of issues but if Hurd could’ve at least been competent this year we would be in the big dance.

Millazo could have helped. That ball he threw away will end up the difference

I’d prefer Kling and Neal had taken that next step. But yes, I feel bad for Hurd at this point. Just not going to happen for him.

Hurd
Coleman
Cade Anderson
Cam Johnson


There's a few pitchers that disappointed this year, thankfully most are young.

There are some moves Jay made that piss me off

I thinj we absolutely needed more bats in the offseason.

But I can’t complain about how he handles the pitching. He brought in Holeman and Jump. Loer who wasn’t a success but it was there. And ultimately
o can’t fault him for thinking Hurd and Ack would give him way more.

Hurd not being able to eat 5 innings a weekend has crippled this teams ability to be competitive in game 3 most weekends. Staff is improving around him. A couple of breaks and LSU sweeps bama. Every game is an elimination game now until the 3rd round of the SEC tournament.

I think tinkering with the lineup as much as he did, didn’t help create stability with the hitters. I get doing it at the beginning of the season when you don’t know who your top 9 will be but once you settle in on who is going to be your top 9-11 players, then keep them in the lineup and keep them in a similar order. It’s almost like he was just throwing crap against the wall hoping it would work.

It’s amazing how last year one of the main reasons we won the National Championship was because of him. Now he’s going to be the main reason we won’t make the tournament. The talent is there we saw it last year but he’s lost out there right now.

Many of you know more baseball than I ever will, but this failure really looked like a team effort. It’s too easy, and inappropriate just to point out Hurd’s disappointing performance.

It bothers that people are so dumb to post this. And it bothers me more that so many other dumbasses upvoted it. Hurd has been disappointing, but I don’t think you know what “sole” means.

If Hurd throws 9 innings this game and gives up only 4 that would have been a great performance. No pitcher was the reason for losing today.

Probably opted out

Hurting his draft stock every time he gets on the bump

A healthy Chase Shores would have done wonders this year as far as rotation. But that can’t be helped

At what point does Yeskie get some of the blame for the pitching problems? JJ calked him the best pitching coach in the country, how long does he need to make a difference. Hopefully he can recruit.

Dumb take. Part the reason? Absolutely. Sole reason? Absolutely not.
