Game 31: Virginia Tech 4/4/26

I feel like that was a good example of why everyone needs to pump the breaks in both directions on Menendez (and soon on Robert). That outing was microcosm of a pitcher coming back from TJ. The good moments were really good and it’s easy to get excited, but the command is prone to come and go from game to game or inning to inning or batter to batter.

He’s working through his process, and we shouldn’t be anointing him closer in the good moments or being too critical in the rough moments. It’ll get better as time goes on like it did with Caba and Walters a couple years ago, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be on the timeline we he hope it’s on.
 
I'm sure there are older ones, but my 53 yr old heart can't take much more of these!
I was in Clemson for that series that was saved by by the West catch.

I would honestly have him pitch a couple innings in the midweek game just to get him some reps. He doesn't have anywhere near enough live reps to be as good as he potentially could be if he gets his feet back under him.
