[QUOTE="leatherneckjacket, post: 948540, member: 3849"] I am not sure about the injury rate of our pitchers compared to other programs. I will say that DBo was never a real pitching coach. He was a developmental resource within the Yankee organization that helped pitchers fix mechanical issues and develop new pitches. He did not call pitches and he did not develop pitch strategies for opposing teams and batters. This is where he failed at Tech in my opinion. Our pitchers did not attack the strike zone and also threw too many pitches that they were not ready to deploy in games. Pitch selection and sequence was also really poor. This, coupled with our really terrible fielding, led to excessive walks, hit batters, extended innings, high pitch counts and ballooning ERAs. I do not think trying to find someone to fix mechanics is a bad thing, but we need a pitching coach who also understands pitching game management because DBo and CDH clearly do not. I will add that the manner in which pitches were called from the bench took way too long. This not only prevented our pitchers from getting into any rhythm, but also forced our fielders to have to wait as our pitchers worked slowly on the mound. Anyone who has played baseball knows that the slower the pitcher works, the more likely you will have fielding issues. DBo had no feel for this as he was never an on field coach, but it is another failure of his. [/QUOTE]
