Which is it? A tiger or a bear. You were so passionate and singularly focused on the wounded tiger, and then completely changed lanes by poking the bear in the eye.

He was also calling them in the late '80s when I was at LC.

I'll admit before speaking that these are random thoughts and may have no validity whatsoever.

Yes these guys were all monsters in high school but a few things change.

Generally as you move up in classification the strike zone gets a little bit tighter. The expectation is higher at the higher levels. It's a stretch of an example but the umps in little league obviously have a much bigger strike zone than what the book says. Otherwise every kid in little league would walk. It tightens each step up so maybe these guys are getting squeezed a little more than they're used to in high school

Also it's the first time they're probably getting true professional pitching "help." Probably more tinkering with their delivery, arm slot, mechanics than they've ever had before. I suspect this creates even more movement on their pitches than they had in high school. Which means they are harder to hit but also struggle more with control. Hence the extremely high walk, HBP number along with high strikeouts.

And lastly seems like every pitcher we bring on is 6"5" +. We all know in any sport the taller you are the harder it is to duplicate mechanics. That can be where leverage, velocity, and other things come from but it can also work against you on consistency and hitting spots.

May have nothing to do with any of that or could be some combo. Just what pops into my brain while trying to make sense of these great high school athletes struggling once they hit tigertown

Yeah, it's just the little things we leave on the field. The third strike call on Brown was not our fault, he should have been on first that was definitely ball 4.

Then not scoring on a ball that gets past the right fielder with two outs. Get that walk call score that run we've got two runs across already and still batting. Easily can eventually be the difference in winning and losing. Just never seem to get the most out of a situation / inning. more times than not we just do not make the pitch, hit, defensive play that makes the difference in the game

Checking SeatGeek now. Just didn't know if any of them were official site or better to use. Thanks for the input

Will answer a few lingering questions LSU fans have always had
I think when Ed grabbed him he wasn't even an on field coach, just an analyst with the Saints. Has a great run with Burrow, chase, and jets. Goes to Carolina which is not a great organization and gets canned. Shows up as a quarterback's coach for the Bills. Doesn't hurt that your QB is Josh Allen and rides that all the way to the head coaching position.

Is it brady, or is it the the fact that he's been blessed to have some dudes?

It's the NFL Trend to hire young offensive minds. Mcveigh, Kellen moore, etc.

Very interested to see how he does. One thing you really can't argue with is that he made the right decision to leave when he did. Ultimately it got him to the pinnacle, an NFL HC job in just 7 years.

Yes, yes it was. But some typos are better than others =-)

I said my peace. I'm done. Obviously I remember it was his wife's checking account. Are we really making that distinction. That argument. Like that makes any difference. I'm sure he had no idea and this was all his wife's doing without his knowledge. Anyway, I enjoyed his time here but it is time to move on.
