Adjustments for baseball:

1. Find a way to get Collins and rooker in the lineup. And keep them there.

2. find your other best 7 guys in the lineup and keep them there.
Unless there is a reason to pull them, don't. Try to get some guys going.

3. Starting pitching is fine.

4. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, pull another pitcher in the middle of a count. And especially replacing him with a young guy.

5. Let Houston/Fitts/brown start an inning for a change. And see what happens. Don't ask them to come In a pressure cooker situation until they show you they can. But let's see how they do with a clean slate. At this point, I don't think you have much of a choice.

We can't keep managing this team like we did 2013. We are young and we are taking a damn atom bomb to these young guys' confidence (especially in the pen).

Of course, this is Cohen/Thompson we are talking about...

You forgot one! Don't let Cohen make defensive changes!

You know I've haven't coaches a lot but that suxs!

I really like #5. Our bullpen has zero confidence, but we continue to put these guys in tough situations.

I'd add that Ross needs to used much more sparingly. No sec team should get a second look at him. Teams are hitting around .300 on him this year.

Will is right about the bunting. We can't play to just get a lead bc our bullpen is terrible. Weve got to play for big innings.

Where's Paul young? We've thrown 2 sophomore pitchers over 120 pitches in back-to-back days, so I don't want to hear being cautious

Our biggest

problem is we don't have any top tier proven talent in the bullpen, outside of Ross. That alone has cost us, what, four games?

If Paul young doesn't come back soon and be that guy, we're screwed

And we have played every game at home. How do you think we will do against an SEC team on the road?

A road trip could be just what the doctor ordered

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm not

so sure just one guy will make a difference. It's going to take a few others, I am afraid.

You've gotta have that 1 guy that can be a shut down guy though. If Paul can be that guy that can clean up messes, it will take some pressure off the other guys.

I have NO idea if Paul can be that guy, but we better hope he can

 

[KurtRambis4]

It could,

but the others are still going to have to step their game up.
