Reid Scott does it again
- Thread starter Kmart84
- Start date
LSU's closer was like that back in 2012. Might as well try Scott as our permanent closer. Can't hurt or get any worse.
Widener should start on Sunday, IMO.
Agree Widner seems to have a better mental approach as a starter. With Reed he is the only one that has been coming in and not walking batters, he also is not afraid to pitch to contact. I think some of our other pitchers lost command for some reason. If you look at the season our pitching went bad during the Coastal game when we walked 6 batters in an inning. We had lost some games up to that point, but pitching was pretty good. After that we seemed to walk or hit batters and give up big innings regularly.

greg maddox never hit 90, unless he had a 20 mile an hour breeze at his back....I think what makes scott good is his arm angle and he is able to hit his spots....i dont know that michael roth ever hit 90...just goes to show you dont have to throw hard to be good
Yep. Maddox & Michael Roth threw about 60 mph (exaggerating), but they knew how to mix speeds & location. That's the key. You have to be able to keep hitters off balance.
Yeah, a steady dose of 65-70 mph junk pitches makes a 85 mph fastball seem a lot faster. The key is not hanging the fastball over the plate. I like the elevated fastball just above the strike zone that Trey Dyson refers to so often because more times than not if a batter does get to it he's gonna pop it up or fly out.
