ORU82 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 It was hard to hear the broadcast for all of the on field choking that was occurring with the Golden Eagles. Welcome to mediocrity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to mediocrity. I would not blame the players for the latest debacle. The couching staff has created a culture of entitlement where players on the field have no incentives to work harder, because they know they will be back in the lineup the next day no matter how poorly they performed on the last game. Players on the bench know they stand no chance no matter how hard they work. When you are given a squad of 38 players, and you can only find value in 9-12, something must be terribly wrong.

Players on the bench know they stand no chance no matter how hard they work. When you are given a squad of 38 players, and you can only find value in 9-12, something must be terribly wrong. The last games I saw, I didn't see any coaches fielding a ball or taking an at-bat, so the players do have a responsibility for the team's current predicament. However, it is the coaches' responsibility to prepare the team for its opponents and the conditions they play in for winning the game(s). I didn't see any adjustment to how our players were hitting this weekend to counter the 30+ mph winds. We kept hitting them high and long (keeping held up in the wind) instead of on the ground or down the lines. No small ball in the later innings when the score was 2-1. They pitched slow and didn't ask for time in the box to change up the rhythm of the pitcher. Those in-game adjustments need to happen and the players were not being coached to win in hopes that whatever they had done in the past would help them prevail. After scoring nine runs in the first three innings of game 1, we went on to score four more runs over the next 24 innings. For a team with seven players over .300 BA, that doesn't seem to be possible, but it is. The team must pitch better, hit better and field better if we are going to be playing in June this year. The next two weekends should help our confidence, but the rest of the month of May will require a LOT of focus by the coaches and players to be a successful season. Our definition of a successful season should be to win the Summit League post season tournament and get ourselves into the regionals (probably Stillwater or Fayetteville unfortunately). Exceeding our expectations should be to win two games in a regional (low-bar, I know). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
