The restart against Tennessee he left Floyd in throwing fastball after fastball after fastball until they finally got to him and tied the game up with a fresh Fontenot waiting in the bullpen.

Vietmeir wouldn’t see innings on any good SEC team
Hillard pitching in an 8-1 game would have been fine. Seeing how this game ended, that wouldn’t guarantee you anything.
It is hard to pitch in the SEC at 87-88.

Hill has the best stuff and the better Pro potential but he wasn't always on. Marceaux is an outstanding college pitcher and just more consistent. I could even argue that Labas is more reliable. I think those two guys give you chance to win every time they pitch and can be counted on to save your bullpen.

The guy definitely has his faults, such as mismanagement of a pitching staff, but you’re making stuff up now.

Well yes everyone knows now that marceaux & labas are pitching better
No one was willing to say that then. And has no bearing on wins and losses anywayv

There ain't any doubt in my mind that Hilliard should have seen the mound today before LSU lost the lead.

Good list, this year has been baffling from a coaching perspective

I guess that is my point Josh. I think he is a hall of fame college baseball coach and I'm not just going to call him lesticles. The facts remain though, that he has gone contrary to most of us on the board and he has been wrong more than right. We need a coach that is going to make better decisions than the rant, not worse.

Hilliard has actually had an increase in velocity this yea
His fastball is considerably worse this year. It’s faster, but he doesn’t locate it as well, and most importantly, it does’t have the late life it used to. I do think he’s more reliable than Floyd.

You can make the same argument about George getting all those innings early too.
No you can’t. CPM knows that pitchers who are looking good in practice have to be given multiple opportunities in games. That’s how you finally sort them out. He does that early in the season when it hardly matters.
The problem with CPM is he doesn’t work very hard, and it results in poor recruiting decisions. His coaching is actually good. You guys are just nitpicking decisions. As CPM said about leaving Coleman in, the guys he replaced him with got hammered. So the Rant’s solution is to replace him earlier, but with different guys. But we don’t even know who was available, who was hurt, who was sick, who looked good in his last bullpen session.

Except he didnt.

Agreed. A big part of the problem IMO is he doesnt get to know his players, their strengths and weaknesses early enough, before the season starts, and so we struggle early while he tries to sort it out almost just like the fans are.

Thats just ridiculous. Coming in with hilliard, floyd, brady, or hell even vietmeier wouldve been fine after coleman let a couple guys on in the 8th...and definitely after the homer to make it 9-5. He left him in because of the coveted lefty lefty matchup which is backed up by years of statsbut completely ignores situation and talent involved.
And we know floyd was available to go in earlier. He went in the game after it was tied. If floyd came in at 9-5 and gave up a few hits and we lost, id have at least understood

The number one thing you can't do as a pitcher with a 8 run lead in the 8th is give free passes. Brady, Hilliard or Vietmeier all would have been better options in the 8th.

Mainieri has permanently benched the experienced pitchers and put the inexperienced freshmen pitchers at the forefront! WHY????
Posted on 4/25/21 at 10:32 am to N2daWild
He woke up waddled to the car and drove on to campus......... must end this ritual immediately.

George was mostly used when the game was out of reach to save better arms.
He pitched 7-1/3 all season. I don’t think that made any difference in developing our young pitchers. The problem is with the pitching coach not identifying the better ones, giving them a role and putting them in a position to succeed.

Lol
If you aren’t being coached up how does pitching a couple of more innings guarantee success? It doesn’t.
George pitched 1-1/3 of an inning in SEC okay. 7-1/3 overall and he isn’t the problem, The young pitchers have had multiple chances to show up and have had limited success, but none have a real role and none really know what they are being counted on to do. That had nothing to do with George getting some action when we needed an inning eater.

He pitched in game 1. Fine. But then he was brought in to close out game two. Back to back days? In the first weekend? Him? Lol. No. And a loss.
He pitched in every game vs UTSA. Up to that point he had 6 appearances and 5 innings. Some of them in crucial spots. You know what you had. Yet he comes in in the 3-1 loss vs Tenn just to walk a couple guys. Excellent.
He’s not here to get meaningful innings. We knew that pre season. Yet he got them. Hence the comparison to Bianco.
