  1. Can we start caveating the 3 Pierce Omaha trips with Augie-recruit Kody putting the team on his back in 18 and the easiest regional/super path in college baseball history in 21? Yes, 22 was gutsy as hell. And then Pierce fielding an entire team of toddlers in all 3 Omaha game 1s in a tournament that is completely predicated on staying in the winners bracket

    I’m not very well versed in college baseball coaches. Who would be a good choice? 
     

    And is it wrong I wouldn’t mind Skip back as long as he keeps tulo and Rodriguez?

    Why on earth would we keep Rodriguez?

    2 runs, 2 runs, 3 runs and 3 runs scored in our last 4 loses yet all we want to talk about is pitching.

    If you want more O'Dowd whining I can up my quota. Also Thomas needs to move out of the leadoff role immediately. He has 1 multi-hit game in the last 12 games

  4. We've been a mid to low .98 fielding percentage team the last few years - very solid. This inning drops us to about .966 on the year, matching 2019 when we started a shortstop fielding .900. Shockingly bad defense from 2nd base and pitcher this year.

    I’m not sure why everyone is so high on Walter at WF. He’s a slightly plus 500 coach for his career, and he’s been to Omaha once in 10 years. Tell me how he makes us better?

    Godwin ain’t going anywhere.

    Link Jarrett is a decent shout. Done it at a couple places.

    There isn’t a single better developer of pitching and hitting talent in baseball than Walter right now. And he grabbed arguably the biggest, most contested pitching target in the history of the portal last year. Between last year and this year, he’ll have like 3 arms and 3 bats drafted higher than any Pierce guy (Ty is highest around 30ish if I recall).

    Id think it’d be easier to pull Godwin than Jarrett. Jarrett just got home, I wouldn’t think he’s leaving after 2 years. Godwin has probably maxed out what he can do at ECU

    So who would we target? O’Sullivan? Mitch Cannon? Wake forest coach? Duke has been solid lately. Their coach? Schloss would be fun to piss of those sheep fucking cocksuckers 

    Wake coach just signed an extension and it’s a private school so we don’t know the details, but I’d imagine that’s more than doable. Same goes for Duke. UVA should also be doable

    ECU coach is a legacy with a burning desire to get them over the hump and to Omaha, but we could comfortably 2-3x his number. 

    FSU coach put us in the dirt in 2022, but I don’t know if I’m giving him credit there or chalking that up to Pierce in Omaha. Also another legacy. 
     

    Probably end up just giving more than half of that list raises, but they’d all be upgrades who could immediately hit the ground running with the SEC recruiting bump

    I'm not worried about LBJ. He has a track record. Howard is meh but at least you know you are getting strikes. He's gone 4 (in relief of Witt), 5, 4.2 and 4.1 in his 5 appearances while only going over 70 pitches once. He'd be somewhat ideal in the Sunday spot when games can get wild but obviously, we don't have that luxury.

    LBJ is the last guy to be worried about in the context of the entire staff, but he’s certainly not throwing like the ace we thought we had. Some sizable regression from last year.
