No we needed to get him down there but it didn’t work out for a variety of reasons. I don’t want to get too deep in the weeds on that for obvious reasons. I appreciated Gino for putting in some effort. JD? Well, look at his pitching staff. No further comment.

I think you misunderstood. JD didn’t respond to an email. I then sent to Gino who did. I appreciate Gino being engaged and recruiting him. JD? Lol he had no desire to even follow up. He pitched in the mid 90’s so I guess he can be the pitching coach as long as he wants.

I get it. I really think this program needs an ***** and some new blood. It’s been stale and lazy for a long time. Since 2008, we’ve missed regionals as much as we’ve been to Omaha (twice). That’s pathetic. Gino/JD/Norberto have had their shot and they can’t get it done. Not changing...

Part of the problem is we are that desperate for Ligon, even on a pitch count, to pitch. Ligon is a slightly above average ACC pitcher at best. This isn’t a future first round guy we are trying to run out there. Yet, he’s our best option. JD, go recruit somebody. And, if you do, don’t *****...

In fairness, I advocated for him to just take every pitch earlier today. Guessing his compromise was to try a bunt? 😂

I’ve got to get to dinner. Let’s move this along.

He might be. I’ve never thought he was a competent pitching coach and I can tell you why I completely gave up several years ago. I emailed him about a sophomore pitcher in Ohio who was better than a lot of guys he had been recruiting. JD didn’t respond for several days so I forwarded to Gino...

Got it. FWIW, I don’t ignore any game. I watch every single game we play.

Wait aren’t you the guy who jumped me last week for saying JD was lazy?

That’s what a lazy, unqualified, and entitled staff gets you. At least we didn’t go 0-2 in the ACC Tournament!

I’m sure they don’t do much scouting. They are lazy. I just meant you aren’t going to take a team who does things a certain way (and not good) and then change it mid game. This is the team we’ve seen all year and, frankly, for many years. It’s what we are.

It’s not so much about in game adjustments. You generally are what you are once the game starts. The problem is everything that leads up to the game. It’s not good. You aren’t fixing that mid game.

The program failed Rosario. He will be fine once he gets coached properly. It was awesome watching him battle today.

That would require JD taking his *** out of his office and actually evaluating and recruiting. Hasn’t happened in 20 years. Not sure why it would now. He’s fat and happy collecting his check.

All 3, but if Gino has any shot here he needs a real pitching coach and hitting coach. What he has now sucks. I don’t think he’s the answer either but there is zero shot with those two assisting.

At least we didn’t go 0-2 in the ACC Tournament again lol. Progress

We are relying on FIU and FGCU transfers on the mound because our pitching coach is lazy as **** and can’t develop the decent HS pitchers that actually come here. This whole thing sucks.

Maybe if they hire real coaches not former players and donors sons.

JD and Gino should just resign. This program is going nowhere. It’s embarrassing.
