But in the majors, you have a pretty good certainty that the pitcher is going to hit the spot that the pitch is called
Most key element of the shift. Pitcher has to be able to throw inside strikes. Forcing the lefty to either don't swing and strike out, or, hit to the pull side

Sorry what's wrong with a coach telling it like it is?
Here's how it is:
It's Paul Mainieri's team. If they lose, it's on him. He should be a man and shoulder the responsibility publically.
When your kids misbehave, you don't beat them in public, you wait until you get to the privacy of your own home to beat them.

And you beat them with a sack of Valencia oranges because it gets the point across, but won't leave a suspicious bruise.

I never knew we had so many snowflakes on the Rant...
Plenty of coaches call out their players. It's a motivational tool. Some players respond really well to it, some don't.
Your team scores 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th, at home, to force extras. Then the new pitcher comes in, with all the emotion and adrenaline from the last inning, and totally craps the bed.
I feel sorry for the player. But he did crap the bed.

So now the college players need to be handled not like the adults they are, but like 6 year olds?

He is headed down the rabbits hole. A team underperforming like this falls squarely on coaching.

Hey Paul, frick you. It's over.

Anyone hear of the stories from when skip was coach...what he’d say to players faces. But brutal.

Hopefully Woodward gets rid of this POS. Always passing the blame to others and never really taking the blame as a coach. Time to bring Bianco home too.

Because if he’s at LSU he will actually be able to make it to Omaha?

I agree with PM, you bring in your closer and he walks the first batter, it's the kiss of defeat. Shame Fontenot couldn't close the deal after the great comeback in the bottom of the 9th.
Our closer WALKED the first batter.

Benched? For whom?

One win over 500 and was considered the best pitcher in the NL last year. THE BEST and was just over 500 in wins so yeah it proves the point.
Also, many many sluggers made millions with a sub 970 fielding percentages. Just examples that YES baseball IS a game of failure.

Do you consider pitcher wins an important indicator in how well a pitcher performs?

It was NOT brutal. He was clearly aggravated that Fontenot did not adjust while pitching to the first batter, but Mainieri was trying to bite back his criticism. He complemented Fontenot for the season he's had. And at the end, when he said, "It ended up costing us the game" he was mumbling, and it wasn't as bad as the OP made it seem.

Been like that his entire time here
I have heard that he's a real bundle of joy to deal with. You can see it in the dug out. Would you want to be in a meeting with your boss with a CPM look on his face? At some point this shows up in recruiting.
