2023 Season Notes


Recommended Posts



There's currently 30 games left and if they win every series and either the mid-week game or sweep the conference foe they end up with a record of 38-14-1 (that record gets them into the post season and likely a regional host as well.) Super regional usually requires 42+ wins.

I see this team has responding very well after a rough start of the year.  That's when the Skipper stopped jacking with the lineup every time something didn't go exactly right in a game. 

 

So, I am giving Bolt credit for NOT doing what he has done the last few seasons (f#&% with the lineup after a loss) and instead showing grown man coaching confidence in his best hitters at the top of the lineup.  That shows maturity as a first-time head coach to get out of the way.  That is also why the top guys in the order are hitting well - just by sticking with the same familiar lineup with your 1-4 hitters (your best hitters of course) and we see guys hitting 5th and 6th bringing wood too.  Ball players need that confidence and hate it when a coach f#&%s around and has you leadoff one game, 9th the next, then 7th later in a week - because you might be struggling, or starting pitching matchups.  Starting pitchers are never guaranteed to go more than 5 or 6, no matter how good they are.  So good job to Bolt for learning and gaining that experience as Head Coach.  Identify your best 1-4 hitters and don't mess with it.
