Can't use our best closer to close because he pitched yesterday.


I know some of you retards may not understand this, but Fontenot is more important to our season long success and has more of a future in baseball than George.

You can quibble with whether he should have been used at all yesterday, but not pitching him today was the right move.

I just find it hilarious to use the argument that PM was trying to see what George could do. The kid is a senior. You could use that argument if PM had let Floyd battle out of it but he let George walk in the go ahead run before anyone was warming.

This is top level D1 college baseball. It's ok to expect 40 pitches per week from your all American closer. If anything your prohibiting Fontenot's development by not allowing him to do the one job that he has.

I agree that fontenots success long term is more important than today’s game. My question is this. If fontenot is the closer, which he is, then why pitch him in a non close situation game yesterday? You keep him for a close situation and if one doesn’t come up over the weekend then you give him an inning in the last game of the series. PM has no rhyme or reason to anything he does

The purpose of playing games is to win. Fontenot will pitch back to back games many times this year. Saving him this one time is not going to save his future from certain peril.

And as for getting guys reps, which is the excuse some people have used, that's what midweek games and mop up duty is for. And, yes, if saving Fontenot's precious arm is so important, then you don't throw him in a game with a five run lead, either. If we're not doing everything we can to maximize our best assets in the most critical situations, as opposed to non-critical situations, then why are we playing the games at all?

And this isn't an isolated incident. This has been a theme over recent years. Poor, poor management. The talent level keeps the team competitive, but if a coach is worth his salary he can't goof up simple things like this.
