FAU

[Jaromir Jagr]

I'm sure it was a coach's fault somehow.

At some point, the coaches have to be responsible for either recruiting or developing this bullpen that you claim is so bad.

Where there is life, there is hope!

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Anyone can lose one game. Or eleven.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

How about the coaches' performance - be honest now.

No problem with it.

Baseball is the sport where the coach has the least affect on the in-game outcome.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Federman against NC State

Your closer is your last resort.

That's a performance issue, not a managerial one.

Say what??

Except for the part about recruiting and developing the players who have to perform in-game. Other than that, they don't have much of an impact.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

The one area where a baseball manager has the most in-game impact is making the right pitching moves........

 

[CTCANE]

Say what??

That is correct. The biggest impact is college basketball

Agreed.

But it's not a managing issue.

He has to make a choice in the moment based on what he knows. His choice was reasonable.

Keysor didn't get the memo about not giving up any runs.

++ Defensive alignment, calls pitches, changes pitchers, pinch hits, sac bunts, steals and on and on

1 < 5

2 runs allowed by the bullpen in three games against FAU.

You clowns really don't know this?

Wow.

This board is full of idiots.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

And he made the reasonable choice in the moment.

Except for the part about letting the starter lose the game with a full bullpen.

Of course, your statement ignores the fact that the head coach is responsible for having all of the right pieces so that the in-game performance is good more often than it's bad. How long has Gino been in charge of recruiting this time around?

 

[NC_Canes_11]

I think “the bullpen hasn’t been good so we shouldn’t use them,” is the hottest take in the history of this board. I hope our 4 starters are ready to throw 140 pitches every week for the rest of the season.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Gino has been in charge of recruiting.
The bullpen is terrible.

But it's not Gino's fault if the bullpen doesn't perform.

Closer is an ambiguous term this year. Federman struggled, failed, and only then did Veliz begin warming up before swooping in and ending the inning, but the damage was done. Put away the stupid pills.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Doesn't matter if it's full if it's not good.
