Holbrook, really???? You bring in Steagall to pinch hit in the T9th...

[Cocky kebo57]

With two outs and we're down one run with Schrock standing on 3rd... and Steagall has three straight whiffs against their ace reliever???? Just STUPID. If nothing else, pinch hit a fast runner and try the suicide bunt, that would have been better.SMH.

Is Destino ok ??????

[Cyan-gamecock]

Hmmmph, coaches. I'd much rather have gamecockcentral posters decide what is best for the team. Coaches, who needs 'em?

Re: Is Destino ok ??????


I don't think they ever said if he was hurt bad or not. I'm sure his ankle will be very sore and probably stiff tomorrow, hopefully no broke bones.

Destino hit an infield grounder and was trying to beat the throw to first. It was low and hit him square on the ankle, not sure which one though.

You know what? I don't even get mad at Holbrook anymore. I just let him do his thing and don't let it raise my blood pressure. SMH, too.

 

[COCK of the WALK...]

Remember when the garnetnecks questioned Ray's call on a PH...


a pitcher & he made an out. Later in same role he smacked one out. Seemed to shut them up from there on out.

Re: Remember when the garnetnecks questioned Ray's call on a PH...

Ok I'm waiting for the same role. Oh, by the way, Ray ain't coaching no more.

 

[cockymanson]

Another PISS POOR Decision. Why not Conner Bright, he has 3 hrs this year. BRING BACK TANNER !!!

 

[cock 69]

Re: Is Destino ok ??????

Said he wanted to stay in. Tommy said he walked back to the dugout fine.

 

[COCK of the WALK...]

Re: Remember when the garnetnecks questioned Ray's call on a PH...


Neither is Bobby. Your point?

 

[searooster]

Cocky Manson, Ray Tanner chose to retire from coaching, and wanted the AD position. I'm pretty sure he has coached his last game here.

Never said nothing about Bobby. Why don't you bring up June next.

People can get mad and huff but you can mark this post down...the Holbrook experiment at SC will not end well.

Unless he makes a significant change and hires a hitting recruiter, his days are numbered at SC....the man simply does not have what it takes to analyze or develop quality college hitters.

And this wasn't a case where he was given a rebuilding a job...the man had the keys to a Bentley with a full tank of gas turned over to him and he appears to be trying to drive it across a muddy field right into the ditch.

HIRE A FREAKING QUALITY HITTING INSTRUCTOR AND RECRUITING ANALYST...

 

[cj_mc7]

So........are they still playing tommorrow or is the season over? can't tell by the way some people act on here!! Geez......

Was he not the hitting coach the 2 years we won a national title??

Don't know if you noticed or not, but we couldn't hit then either.

 

[USCAndy]

I have doubts that Tanner will do anything. Has he fired anybody yet? I'm beginning to think Tanner as AD was the worst thing that could've happened. Too happy go lucky. I mean look no further than Mark Berson with men's soccer. A once proud soccer program has gone downhill, but he's still there. Why?

Our 2 championship years we hit .300 and .294........considerably better than our present .261.

Also, our fielding percentage for those years was .975 and .974........again, considerably better than our present .963.

Lol, yeah...we'd have 17 or so consecutive NC in every sport.

The coaches here ROCK...and they're cheap! Just think of the money we could save and the facilities we could construct. We could demolish the WB and build a stadium that would make Caesar roll over in his grave.

Shucks...we could even have the nations 1st booger flickin' team with a field that dwarfs Dung Valley.

Do we have a "fast runner" that can bunt a 95 mph fastball...much less
put it down where he needs to put it and beat the throw? You do realize that
the faster the ball is traveling that 1) it is harder to bunt and 2) it
is harder to bunt in the direction you want it to go and 3) it is hard
to bunt it in the dirt to keep it from a defender making an easy out?

I know I'm late to the party and I see you haven't chimed in since your fly-by...but I'm starting to believe you could really be a better coach for USC.

Kinda like this guy...

BUNT

Who was the hitting coach when we lost the CWS finals to Arizona in 2012?? I think it was Holbrook back then. Arizona was knocking the covers off the ball against our very good pitching staff, beat us 5-1 and 4-1.

 

[FORKCOCK]

We won a boatload of 1 run games because Tanner would out manage the other team. Not many have that ability. Joe Torre was one of those guys.

Ray Tanner knew it would be hard to continue to have 'championship' teams...that is why he made the move when he did. He had reached the top. It is VERY HARD to remain at the top. Hope the team has a successful year. Go Gamecocks!

You gotta love our fan base. We want a coach to be fired after every football, baseball, and basketball loss. You can't make this stuff up. (and of course Andy...........this thread is right down your ally).

Great analysis there, FGF Apprentice.

Andy, remember when you complained for 2 seasons back to back about how bad our baseball team was and we won a national championship both years? I do. You should post more often. at you is one of the best things about reading FGF.
