7 years ago when Rooney got here his opening statements said "we will go right after batters..No walks. Nothing good comes from walks" Well coach we have not learned much in 7 years. Another reason Rooney must be either head coach or pitching coach.
too many walks

Agree. We were going to "Pound the Strikezone". Pitching in College Baseball has become like Rocket Science. Catchers have a wristband with numbers that look like the Mayan Calender. 2 seamers, 4 seamers, cut fastballs, 2 types of curves, 3 types of sliders, multiple change ups AND...then you have location. Wow! The catcher has to be a math genius to figure it all out. Then...someone in the dugout has to be smart enough to call the right pitch from all those choices. Once upon a time, 1 was a fastball, 2 was a curve and 3 was off speed. Cy Young and Walter Johnson did pretty well with that system. TR should get a smart pitching coach and the run the rest of the Program. Then take credit for for how well he manages the Program. But NOOOO!!!
Our pitching is terrible.
Look at the scores this year. Other teams have gotten alot of hits off of us.
I am not overstating this but I saw so many pitches thrown into the dirt the other night I could not believe what i was seeing.
My conclusion, we don't have the pitching we need to be competitive with the big boys. JMHO
