And many of them had experience as there were transfers in Will Mcaffer, Kaleb Roper,Trent Johnson, Ryan Green, Ben White and Chris Koppenhaver. Ben White had thrown almost 150 innings at the D1 level, experience is no excuse there.He had no choice but to bring in pitchers since the cupboard was bare. Many lacked experience like I have already mentioned. Having a full year & summer ball will help dramatically as well as new pitching coach. .
Roper had thrown an inning at Arizona and then went to once of the best JUCO's in the country and played in a very competitive Northwoods Summer league.
Will Mcaffer threw 40 innings of D1 baseball at South Dakota St
I could go on but let's just say that The experience excuse just doesn't fly.
LOL, this is incredible excuse making here. Jewett hand picked his assistants. You really think he didn't know Tighe Dickinson, Billy Jones and Eddie Smith before he hired them? He just coincidentally hired 3 guys that all came from the state of Washington? The same state Jewett himself is from.I have also mentioned advantages Pierce had with bringing his coaches in with him that have been with him for several years. Somehow you & your bud don't think a new head coach has problems getting to know a team with new coaches,& again with another coach, & again with another coach coming up. Ya'll going all out not wanting to see the whole picture yet again. Jewett has a plan & pitching is obviously the major part. Sit back & relax till next season
The Billy Jones situation was unfortunate, however, I don't really see losing him as a big deal.
As for having to replace another coach next year, THAT'S JEWETT'S FAULT! He shouldn't have hired a bad pitching coach and he wouldn't be replacing him in what should be a make or break year. You just cant give him the excuse of it being tough working with new coaches when it's his fault that the coach had to be replaced. Sorry, cant do it without looking like an apologist.
If pitching is a major part of the plan, then the first order of business when he got the job should have been to find the best pitching coach he could find. He failed to do that. He got a really bad one.
You're the one not seeing the whole picture. You have literally given him a pass on everything. Despite all the mistakes and missteps he's made, you excuse it all.
