re: Why can’t we hit

agree - CJJ appears to need elite out of the portal cause they can't develop well enough. Also I think some of these guys are pressing because it's their draft year or last year in the program....think about it - this year you lose: Braswell, Pearson, Bear, Dickinson, Louis, Stanfield and potentially Frey.
YES! transfer portal and freshman class - transfer portal pitchers except Cowan have been weaker than expected...so much so you are depending on the freshman pitchers. The freshman position players except Curiel and Arrambide are very good just behind older guys. Those two are holding their weight; Tenner just does it better - recruiting and development.

and the fact that we are trotting out four high school pitchers tells me everything I need to know about this staff. Thank goodness Evans and Rizy are producing but they should not have to be relied upon.

josh Simpson who is a launch angle/pop up coaching GURU
Makes way too much sense...so he probably won't do it :(

that was great read on a dirt ball by Hogg only to get stranded at 3b

and he needs to sit a spell and remember his approach at the plate!

Agree - hope they all stick around including the 2 INF Ryan and Hogg, Both are highly regard prospects and a big crop coming in for '26.
I agree with you. What else does the guy have to do to earn his trust?
But he also gets the fewest ABs from the hole too!! so there's that...you would think you would want him to get more ABs... :banghead:
and if he doesn't snap out of it you just let him keep stinking up the place for the remainder of the season?

So glad he stuck with his approach and did not adopt the Coach Simpson swing for the fences/launch angle crap!

Great job Chris!

re: I like the offensive Braswell.

some of these guys are really good at hitting sub par pitching and others not so much...
