Leadership

You don’t know what happens behind closed doors.

Also what is yelling and getting in someone’s face going to do when you suck too. You have to be executing to be that guy or nobody will listen.

It’s also a transfer world where these guys are close but not that close because they just got there 9 month ago.

The one thing this team doesn’t have is leadership. It doesn’t have that guy that’s up motivating and getting in everyone’s ear. When they are down everyone looks lost and unmotivated.

If you watch team huddles at the mound on defense, it’s Braswell who really takes this role. But it’s hard to lead effectively on offense when you are struggling the way he is. Same with Bear. That’s two of your biggest vets. Then you have Josh Pearson, who isn’t playing that much.

We absolutely miss having a guy like Crews who was an unquestioned leader who everyone respected and followed. Hopefully Curiel can be that starting next season, but he’s just not able to be that as a true freshman, as good as he is. Milam is another I would expect to see more from next season after the current vets move on.

Once again you have to be executing in order to be vocal or else nobody is going to listen to someone that sucks as bad as they do.

Literally nobody on this team is worth a flip at performing anything clutch at the plate except for maybe Curiel. And surprisingly Stanfield lately

/\ this /\ is one of the things that take the joy out of being a fan of a 'team' -

I do not like the portal era - at all.

Even with the 'success' it has brought in terms of trophy hardware - there's no feeling of "WE did that" = the feeling I get is more like winning for a day or so at a lousy casino.

I still like the old days when you knew the players from their freshman year onwards.

Shut up. This is a board to write your opinions. If you don’t like it don’t read it.

no shite, thus the no leadership. Who is going to be that person? Jones?

They have no guy that’s vocal.

You don't have to be yelling in everyone's face to be a leader. As fans with no idea what goes on within the team, we have no clue if they have good leadership or not.

Correct. It is my opinion that you don’t know what you’re talking about. The irony of you telling me to shut up then following it up with pointing out the fact that this board is for people to voice their opinions is hilarious.

Again dumb arse I didn’t say yell at guys. I said talk them up and motivate them.

---

Yeah I’m sure these guys have no motivation to win the regional…

The difference is a lot of us have played sports a good bit, and common sense says you need strong leadership.

Sure

Who is our leader on the team? LOL

I have no clue. I’m just a fan that watches them play.

It is clear you never played sports at any significant level. You probably should stay out of this thread.

Yeah yeah, I'm sure you will come back and tell us all what kind of great athlete you were.

Nah I was an extremely average athlete that played through high school and that’s it. Probably pretty similar to a lot of people on this board. But I’m smart enough to know that fans that are not in the locker room, not in the dugout, and don’t know the players or coaches are probably pretty clueless on the leadership within the team.
