re: CPM blames the loss on.....Deichmann

Because it's a direct quote it can't be taken out of context? Cutting a 2 minute interview into a 23 second clip is rule #1 for getting people to tale things out context.

Maybe you're right and it was all just shitting on Deichmann. But I don't remember it sounding like that when I was listening to the postgame on the radio.

I see now that this was not from the postgame radio call. He says basically the exact same thing.

You realize what he says to Bill in the champions club is different than what he says to the media on the field post game?

...it was unprofessional and reflects poorly on the program and the university. All athletes should expect negative feedback from their coaches during their careers, but it should be confined to the locker room.

Overall, this team is young, inconsistent, and just not playing championship ball. I've got zero issues with the man challenging the players. Publicly or private. I don't believe in masking anything. You want to get better? Bring it to light, any kind of light.

I though we were talking about the post game on the radio because he basically says the same thing. He just follows it up.

Champions Club interview.

"We just didn't make a lot of good hard contact... Not really sure why Greg came off the base for the ball, it was a perfect throw... When you get into these games against these caliber teams, you know, I hate to say you have to play perfect. But these games so often come down to one play, one pitch, one at bat... All it takes is one little mistake and we can end up on the wrong end of a score."

To call out one play and not acknowledge an entire game of underwhelming offense is a bit disingenuous. We weren't doing much of anything last night, regardless of that one play.

No problem with what he said. It is what it is and does not come across as blaming a loss on a kid. Did they scor after that or was the result of an mental error. Keep the foot on the bag end the inning with no other runs scored we win. Period

Actually, that's exactly what it comes across as.

Post game

As previously stated he called him out TWICE once in 2 different interviews, the second time he did it by name.
If you are a true college baseball then there is no debate on whether this is acceptable or not.
