That is NOT what I said at all! If you watched my dude tonight he put on a clinic. First time for me to see him pitch and I could not be happier. Changed speeds, worked in, worked out and elevated when needed. None of this throwing one 58' feet that runs off at a 60⁰ angle to the backstop. That my boy was what pitching looks like!

Problem with Guidry being a pitcher long term is he'd have to develop another pitch. He's more a one time through the lineup guy and the move to SS ain't gonna let him develop said 3rd pitch. He's badass though with that breaking ball! Herring's biggest plus is he's a lefty. So far.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean for even just a cup of coffee before being cut and careers over. Let alone having even a slight sniff of success at the big league level. But you are holding our guys to Greg Maddux like standards. And that just isn't realistic at all. Paul Skenes is a ridiculously rare talent. the rest take advantage of the raised seams on a college ball and throw shyte that moves to get them through the college careers.

I feel like JJ was giving Little one last chance to show something. He didn't and we lost an sec championship. Oh well, on to the SECT at the risk of sounding like @Big T, I'm at the point where I really don't ever need to see Little thrown another pitch for us. how are you going to wear Jersey # 99 and still have an ERA even remotely close to it?!!? seriously, against our last SEC opponents he's sting at 90.09 ERA. that's average of 10 runs per inning pitched.
