Time to ask Mac about Williams

[2330859]

The Pitching performance has gone well beyond unacceptable; it’s inexcusable. I am not about to impugn Roger Williams reputation as a pitching coach, as his decades of success exceeds most of those in the profession.

My suggestion here is just confined to judging the product on the field.

This rotation has not improved, instead it has failed to overcome the unprecedented walks, HBPs and wild pitches despite witnessing it repeat itself one after another.

Mac needs to address the obvious flaw, and it should be directed towards Williams.

I'm pretty sure Dan would disagree with this wholeheartedly. This is not last year when we failed to make the postseason. We have been ranked top 25 most of the season and barring an epic meltdown (not impossible) and total bias by NCAA (which has happened before), we have earned postseason play, which is the goal of every U of L team, not just baseball. Expecting them to go to Omaha every year is like expecting basketball to reach the Final Four or football to make the CFP's. I have been critical of Roger as much as anyone but we still have to let the season play out. Right now there's still games to play... and win.

It’s not about how the team performed; it’s all about how the pitching performed.

I have no expectation that Dan will make a change, but he should.

I don't know.....?? It would appear to me, Rog hasn't had much to work with for a few years. "Projects" for the most part. For whatever reason we are not getting the arms we used to. But what da hell do I know?

Do you think the pitching coach/asst HC would be directly involved in recruiting pitchers? If he isn’t, that is a problem. If he is, that is a problem.
