re: Bama Baseball 33-24 (13-17) (2023-24)

I said it earlier in the season and got downvoted into oblivion, but JJ kinda sucks as a pitching coach.

We finished the year with a 5.75 team ERA. That’s about as bad as I can ever remember.

None of our returning pitchers were even as good as they were last year, other than Myers, who was improved. Everybody else literally got worse. There was 0 development at all.

It’s common for us to give up 0-2 bombs. Or pitch to a really good hitter with a base open and two outs and proceed to give up a 3R HR.

I forgive Holman for getting the heck outa dodge.

I’ve also come to terms that in the day and age of everybody throwing 95+ MPH, there’s going to be pitchers getting hurt every year. It happens at every program across the country.

JJ rallied the troops last year and got us to a super regional. I give him all the credit for that.

Maybe he is a better head coach/game manager than actual pitching coach and needs to try his hand as a HC for a smaller school.
