And from Nola.com LINK

"A guy will throw a couple balls in a row, and [Dunn] will say one thing to him," Ross said. "Before you know it, the next three pitches are right on target. He just works really well with the guys, and I think he's going to make a huge impact for us this season."
quote:
The pitchers have gone through a rigorous training method to get their bodies in top shape before the grueling season officially begins — much of it under Dunn's watch. "He's been working us hard," Gausman said. "This is the best shape that all of our pitchers have ever been in. We always joke that we run more than the track team."
"He has this way about the kids," Mainieri said. "The way he coaches them, the way he works with them … it's a lesson every day. He puts on a clinic with those kids."
And from Nola.com LINK
quote:
"His baseball IQ is awesome," said starting pitcher Kevin Gausman. "It's been great to work with him, the way he carries himself. He's got that swagger. He really brought the pitching staff together. We all feel really comfortable and have a good relationship with him."
quote:
Mainieri said he, Dunn and former Coach Skip Bertman have met several times to discuss the nuances and that Dunn will likely call about 75 percent of the pitches, the rest going to the catcher.

No more complacency

Sounds like he is what LSU needs!
What is the deal with Manieri? Has he lost his spark and mojo?
We cannot have a HC, who delegates everything to his assistants.....imo

+ 1. Time to act, and play, like the 6-time champs we are.

Actually the opposite. He admitted that he got complacent last year and promises to be more "hands on" this year.

Lol so we can't have a pitching coach in charge of pitching and a hitting coach in charge of hitting?
Not sure what you want exactly. Mainieri has not lost any spark. We will be back this year.

excited for this new season. just hope we can have some offense to back this solid defense

So a pitching coach with an actual background in pitching helps? Who knew? #wontmissgrewe

OT but when I get to lsu in 09 I never would of guessed so many kids read the newspaper. I know TDR is just a school paper but its better than nothing. I figured I was one of a handful of kids who still read the newspaper.

You don't want the HC to delegate pitching responsibilities to the pitching coach who most recently coached in the MLB system?

So who's going to coach 3rd base?
How many do we get thrown out @ the plate this year?

Sanchez Mainieri thinks his pork n beans are finally coming around.

Doesn't matter who coaches 3rd, we will be aggressive on the bases, as we've been the last 5 years
