Thunderin' Bolts vs Texas A&M - Corpus Christi

I mean ... we can always hope.

But I think trying to blame it on a busy week is ignoring the facts.

We gave up 25 runs to Sam Houston State in three games.

We gave up 17 to TCU in three games.

And now we've given up (at least) 37 in three games to aTm-CC.

I think the problem is a little deeper than a busy week.

Like the lack of a true pitching coach.  :dunno

I mean ... it's possible.  But I don't know that's really the case.

If a pitching coach can take guys from what we've seen to somewhere above-average, he's not going to be the Pitching Coach at the University of Nebraska.

I'm just saying that not having a true pitching coach has been a concern since day one, and some of these arms are not fresh faces. 

Do I hope that things get turned around with the pitching, and fast? Yes.

But I have my doubts, and they're the same doubts I've had since day one of this coaching hire (Christy, not Bolt).

Except... Dave VanHorn's pitching coach is part of the staff... very poor post.

Christy has had 1 full season as the pitching coach and the staff was top 2 in the B1G. This year has been inconsistent, but still our ERA is top 5 in the B1G and middle of the road nationally. He also lost 2 weekend starters from last year and two top BP arms. This year we lost a weekend starter and a top BP arm to injury. Just hard for me to throw him under the bus when his only full season, the staff was really freaking good.

Good points, and that's fair. If anything let's see if he can get improvement from the arms we have on the roster currently.
