It’s not just the past few games, it’s been the whole season. We are struggling to put away middle of the pack teams and lost to one today. Meanwhile when we go up against a good team in Texas, we get whipped. This team has all the peices to succeed but they just aren’t gelling right now, anyone have any thoughts?

I was mad last weekend. I just acknowledge this is early still in the season and Mainieri is trying to find things that work while progressing the team towards getting better

Pitching has been sub par at best and hitting is not there against anything more than a high school arm. Lots of improvement to be made by everyone.

Too many walks by pitchers. No lefties to go to

Too many left hand hitters, not enough balance in the lineup. I don’t enjoy the lineup construction at all

This team wasn’t very good last year. I think expectations are/were too high for them coming into this season.

Joe Alleva talked to the team.

They are just not that good. No true Friday night starter and the bottom 1/3rd of their
lineup is a black hole of offensive production. You aren’t going to win many series against good teams with that combination.

I think now its definitely safe to say they r OVERRATED. I played competitive baseball for a very long time and I dont care what anybody says ... not having a lefty on Roster is a big deal. In that time of playing baseball never not ever did I play on a team without a left handed pitcher. It is safe to say that is a Huge deal.

Because about 70% of your staring lineup is slightly heavier than horse jockeys.

Hughes 174 lbs
Smith 172 lbs
DiGiacomo 172 lbs
Duplantis 177 lbs
Watson 160 lbs
Broussard 162 lbs
Reid at a monstrous 182 lbs

Way overrated. Pitching has greatly underachieved and there no guarantee they’ll get better. Bottom of order is putrid and it’s our worse defensive team in years......

Mainieri has a tendency to just hire former players and he once said a Hitting Coach is overrated unless he is forced, he will continue this trend. He also has no idea how to run a Pitching Staff.

Are you the same guys that gave up in the basketball team after the Oklahoma State game? CPM’s team have always been a slow starting team while he tinkers to put the guys in the right places. Once they figure it out they go on a run in May. This has happened for over a decade now. Why do these threads still pop up in early March?
