Wilky blames Fuchs, Hawksea blames Logan, and ricke71 seems to blame Bazzana by pointing out all the stuff he didn't do well.
Anyone else want to rip a player?
Also wilky, I love your passion and you bring a lot to this board, but you've gotta stop with the "well if it wasn't for x, then y would've happened."
"Logan hit a sharp one hopper that would have cleared a shorter pitcher or a pitcher with a more intricate throwing motion" may be the best justification for a double play I've ever seen.

I posted (re: a Super Regional game loss) in response to someone posting that Gavin Logan was the cause of Beavs not going to Omaha: (Carpenter/Bazzana, 8th inning error), led to Auburn's 7th run. OSU 9 LOB (Logan had 0....Bazzana had 6). Is that a "rip"? Not meant to be a "rip".......simply facts. Most observers would attribute that error to Carpenter on the throw to 2nd base to be a boo-boo by Bazzzana. It happens. Bazzana had a great freshman season. Here's hoping for 2 more good ones out of the young man. |

Van Larson and Jayson Hibbard joined the portal too. Good luck to both Larson did not pitch in 2022. Hibbard = 12-1/3 innings (12 appearances, 20 hits, 11 ER, BAA of .370). Interesting that rarely used Case, Quinn or Grewe have apparently chosen to stick it out. |

Also a bit surprised McDowell chose to stay. He's hitting well so far for Okotoks |

I blame Mundt, didn’t even play. Maybe Joey Wong too, his name is Joey and he didn’t perform this year either. |

One other thing, don't mess with the Grew. The day his leg strength catches up to his hair length, we've got the next Ron Guidry. It will happen! |

I’m not sure what you are in to but I don’t want to typo your ass. Please stop making that request. I've only made that particular request once. Your non-participation is excused. |

Quinn had five appearance and got lit up in three of them. The earlier of the two great appearances was on Holy Saturday against Long Beach State. He got the first two batters in the eighth, before Long Beach State put in a pinch hitter, which chased Quinn. That was Quinn's longest good outing and featured his lone strikeout on the year. |

Quinn has electric stuff, but once again the command issue trumps the stuff. A 95 mph fastball down the middle is still a batting practice fastball. But the potential...

You can learn location. You can't learn velocity.

You can learn location. You can't learn velocity. Wish I would have known this. I was a skinny, bad command, soft tosser in high school. In college, I was an in shape, bad command, gas thrower. Never could spot anything but a slider. In my opinion, some guys can gain velocity. Some can gain command. Some can do both. Most can do neither. But I do think Quinn can be good. |

I tossed one over 45 in college. Could get it over the plate on a good day with plenty of stretching. Quinn seems decent to me, I think he could be our closer with some off season work. |

I can still spot a 12-6 curveball, but my whole body hurts after I put my kids through easy grounders and pop ups. Never could control a fastball, even though it only went about 83 mph. |

Perhaps one or two MPH, granted. But few guys go from 88-89 to 94-95, once they have matured anyways. And yes, pitching is hard. And I agree about Quinn, you let a guy who throws 95 play himself out of baseball. You don't get rid of him. |
