Um no. Disaster. You always save someone for extra innings.
Had one...two actually. Didn’t perform. Wondering why nobody is on CKS for his pitchers being able to throw strikes in game situations

I’m not saying he’s not leaving. Just saying I don’t see it in that tweet.I sure hope so but he’s posted legacy tweets before
It is better to have watched and lost then never have watched at all. - some famous philosopherIf we win we win but this game was already won. Twice

Exactly - at some point there was a reason why the last 3 guys had not seen much action this year - i think you had to give them a short leash and see if another one could have done better since they were all of a crap shoot at that levelI’m not gonna hold a pitching coach accountable for seldom used young relievers having trouble throwing strikes in a massive pressure situation.
I understand what you are saying but the other side of it is that we ran out of pitching today. Don't you think Coach would have liked to have somebody to bring in when Boyles ran out of control or to put in before Boyles? Basically, Coach rolled the dice trying to get us to the 9th and won in the moment but paid for it later. It is what it is. I am sure Eissler, Lodolo or Wymer could have gone a little longer without risking injury.
I also think coach made the specific changes more for situational purposes rather than arm protection. He is still a good coach and runs a great program. This is just part of his strategy that I would do differently. Of course, it is easy for me to say this as I am not the one in the dugout.

Fixed it.Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rapes.
Nor am I but damn sure a lot of crap being thrown around at a HC on pitching decisions as if he’s making these decisions in complete isolation. Highly doubt CKS was saying...got nobody else that can get outs.
My point is that the coaches put this team in the best possible position to win. Durbin basically gets 5 outs in the 9th. Pulled the right levers and it didn’t work out. That is all.
And...I’ve asked many times where Dalton Brown is. I’m guessing nobody knows and that’s okay but he has thrown off that mound at least twice.
I don’t agree with the people throwing crap at JS either. We have a undermannned team and a closer who is just coming off a shoulder issue who he didn’t want to throw more than one inning. JS played it perfectly to get him the ball with the lead in the 9th. He went all in to win and it should have worked. I’m not gonna fault the guy for that. Not at all.
61-58 was worse in many ways lol...I am over it.
This team was overachieving anyways. We just lost too many personnel.
Not like we had a championship caliber team that could go deep in the post season.
The losses we handed A&M in the post season is far worse.
Losing to syr in basketball felt worse
61-58 felt worse
Even losing to Georgia and Michigan State felt worse- football.
