As per usual, our fans will only blame coaches.
It’s never a players fault that they didn’t execute.

Nah, Schloss made some statement right before Yeskie left and basically said all of the coaches would be back next season unless they found a head coaching job.

"We met with everybody yesterday. We could not have better synergy on a coaching staff than this coaching staff. I want coaches that are upwardly mobile. I just want them to be the head coach at the right place. Nate Yeskie and Michael Earley aren't leaving unless it's the right job. Right now, we're rebuilding our roster. Aggies want to win every year, and so do I. We're focused 1,000 percent on this roster so we can have the best chance to get to Omaha"

I think the young guys need more time on the mound in pressure situations.
As I said Friday night, we just haven't figured out who we can rely on, other than Cowan and Evans.
There will be some growing pains, but a few of these guys should get more consistent by the end of the year.
If you can throw 2 pitches for strikes, you'll be okay - especially if you throw a mid-90s fb. Most of these guys can do that in practice. They just need to get used to doing it in the game.

Schloss likes to lie. No one at Aggy was sad to see him go. The stats in 23 and 24 show a bad trend with Yeskie. Since opening weekend we have had control issues out of the pen again.
Yeskie isn’t the same as he was at Oregon state, back to back bad years and it looks like his bullpen is going to be the weak spot of our team this year. He looks like he could be washed. He has an assload of talent to work with.

Possibly, but no one is literally saying a coach is going to be back if they're also being told to look around.
That's crazy.

People say this like it means something. Fanbases cope.
They convinced themselves they were better off without Schloss and look how that's working off.

Everyone is welcome to their opinion. I'm personally not qualified enough to judge what the issues are.
I do find it hard to believe that Yeskie suddenly forgot how to coach pitchers.

You also have to be able to scout pitchers and get the right ones out the portal.

Of the responses in this thread, what's the percentage of the posters that actually fit this?

No, this series was lost because Jay wanted to save Evans for game 3 when he could have secured the series win by pitching him in relief for Eyanson in game 2.

Schlossnagle's only big lies have come when he told the media that he wasn't interested in changing jobs....even though he knew he was.
But to suggest that the Aggies were happy to see him go is silly. They were furious that he left, especially the timing of it and where he was headed to.
After he was gone, sure, they were saying good riddance, but that's what cults do.

This is a fair question.
The idea that you can't teach a guy to throw strikes has been disproven many times in the major leagues -- notably, by Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson.
It's nice to be able to throw 98-100, but if you can't control it, you're no better than a guy who throws in the 80s.
It's on Yeskie to fix this.

It is way too early to make this conclusion.
Most of our new pitchers come from programs where they could just blow it by the batter.

It’s tricky. One could watch and think, ‘this kid was the #1 prospect in his area, won a state title in HS and only walked 6 batters all season…’. What the heck has happened?
It’s tricky. To make a run to win it all, these guys will have to be pitching at a close to big league level at the end of the season. E.g., hitting their spots, mastering 3 pitches, playing through the pressure….
It’s tricky and a massive leap for these guys. I see Yeskie not letting up and forcing them to push the limits on their comfort zone.

Yeskies last aggy team was horrendous. Over 5 era walked everyone and Slchoss fired him.
He wasn't fired. In fact Schloss was pissed he left. However, their pitching got way better after he left.

I think I agree. Didn't they improve throughout last season?

Weiner may be good, but Schloss comes from a pitching background as a former pitcher and pitching coach. Johnson's background is hitting. Johnson needs a great pitching coach, Schloss not so much. Skip didn't need a great pitching coach because he was it. Yeskie doesn't appear to be great, maybe not even good. For football oriented fans think of it like Saban not needing a great defensive coordinator, whereas an offensive coach like Sean Payton does.
