  1. It’s in the middle with the conference tournament as a top seed. Does this tournament matter? Not really. Do you want to at least win a game or two so your not going into regionals with negative feel? Yeah you do. If we were to go 0-2 it might move us from 2-3 seed to 3-4 seed. We won’t fall out of the top 5.
  2. Yeah I get that he’s there best but 116+ is extremely risky
  3. They sent Wolf back out there? Why?
  4. Game 1 against the cockroaches has entered the chat.
  5. The fact that Daly and Faltine were on the same wave length on that play is pretty sweet.
  6. Take till you get a strike Kennedy
  7. On the bright side this is Wolfs last inning.
  8. Yeah so it’s more Ty than other teams catching up to him. His velocity is down and is dealing with a blister, which we don’t know accurately how much that has impacted his recent performances. We all know Ty has been struggling, that’s not controversial at all.
  9. I hope @Fletch got to see Kennedy’s homer
  10. This has been proven wrong multiple times during the course of this season.
  11. Blisters are a pain to deal with and his pitch count might be limited. Limiting the damage on the blister could be a good move so Ty doesn’t make it worse. He hasn’t pitched a bad a game tho and if the blister is fine then leave him in at this point.
  12. I hadn’t read that about Tulo with the film study but that’s awesome to hear. It shows that he really feels obligated to do everything possible for the kids to succeed. Sometimes you can get a guy with a ton of cred that relies on his title and “tells” the kids what to do rather than “teach” them. The Long Beach connection with the work ethic makes sense—they’re always a salty ball club. You can tell watching Faltine play defense that he’s molding his play just like Tulo’s. I’ve enjoyed every damn minute of it.
  13. Tulo has brought some serious swagger to this team. The team doesn’t really have one of the Clemons’ bros or a Parker French to bring that certain energy they all brought. Tulo has gotten thrown out once already and has been pretty close 2 or 3 other times as well. He’s got that cool cocky baseball player attitude and not the douchebag type. If Tulo does leave I think that’s what we will miss the most from an outsiders perspective since we don’t know exactly what he’s done from a fundamental baseball pov. Our hitting has improved so attributing some of that to Tulo might not be a big stretch. Tulo has done an excellent job with Faltine and others but we can’t forgot about our boy Hamilton. That’s was Pierce and had he not tore his achilles, Hamilton would have definitely been drafted earlier than the 8th round.
  14. If he takes his bat to the next level next year, I have no doubt he’ll be projected first round.
  15. Dj plays quite a bit for a bench player.
  16. I like this idea a lot but there’s still a detail between Klopps and Witt. The stats are there Witt but if you look at the bigger picture, you can see that he still reveals his age. Kopps is a red shirt senior. Take tcu for example, Witt came in and gave us two damn good innings but came out in the ninth and walked the first and gave up a hit next AB. Now this example is predicted a bit on how Pierce handled the situation but I think most of us thought bringing Witt back out with the stuff he had going was the right call. You still can’t walk the first batter in that situation. There’s been other instances where his maturity wasn’t where it should be against lesser opponents. The minute he gets rattled or in trouble, Pierce is calling to the pen. I’m there with you on his ability and stuff because it’s there, I’m just not quite there trusting his mental maturity for 3-4 innings on Saturday and another 3 on Sunday. The situation is fluid like you stated so he may only need to go for a total of 5 inning in series or maybe more. Pete also is just now getting to the point where he has the ability to go deep and that hasn’t been tested to a larger degree, yet.
  17. We are having a discussion about the team...on the baseball thread. What would like us to talk about?
  18. Ah ok I see what you are saying but I guess my next question would be how would that work with the back end of our bullpen not being that deep. Madden going deep in games has given us better chances on Saturdays and Sunday’s, especially when Klub was pitching. The second part of your post is pretty indefensible. The stats don’t lie and they show Madden hasn’t been his best or to the standard we know he can be. I will add one of those starts he had a bad blister and that probably didn’t help the stat sheet. But there’s no excuse really, although his pitching style being heavy in fastballs can give way to bigger hits when the pitcher isn’t on. When Madden is going full tilt and is on, he is undoubtedly our ace.
  19. I mean that’s cool and all about Glasnosw but how does that translate to this team and the arms we have? Are you saying you want Madden to switch with someone in the pen? The mlb projection was more for highlighting his ability’s scouts are looking for which is we all know what it is.
  20. I mean for fucks sake to say this isn’t good stuff is ridiculous. We’ve seen him do it. And to say that Witt is the better pitcher right now is doesn’t make sense imo. Witt more than likely couldn’t go 6 or 7 innings like madden can. The better argument is Witt will probably finish his career being better than madden which I would agree with. Witt has some solid stuff being only a freshman.
