Hit the ball. catch the ball, easy game LOL!
Problem was Silva was so highly thought of nationally. I don’t think keeping him would have been the right move tho. The stats he had for our pitchers in his tenure here was pretty remarkable. Once was bitching about him to someone pretty tuned in and they said “better go check that team ERA nationally” which shut me up pretty quick when I researched it.Solid single for NU. Could make it a double with the right pitching coach. I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum regarding Silva compared to ***. I wouldn’t consider keeping him on even if for free.
What happens if A&M faced Big 10 pitching throughout the season?A&M had a worse batting average with him as hitting coach than Nebraska did. So I would think not.
Lol Ah yes, the ol’ “there was better pitching in the SEC” argument but not better hitters. That’s always a fun one.What happens if A&M faced Big 10 pitching throughout the season?
It's really interesting to hear different circles. The people I hear from weren't happy with his arm management, specifically injury prevention strategies. These are pretty knowledgeable folks but.......Problem was Silva was so highly thought of nationally. I don’t think keeping him would have been the right move tho.

Bolt doesn’t need anyone from the previous staff tho. Keep things positive. Too much negativity about Silva.
In hearing Darin talk, it's interesting to have him rattle off College World Series teams every year that have our arm injuries like we had in 2018. I think 2018 left a sour taste in everyone's mouth and it piled on from Silva not recruiting Nebraska much early on.It's really interesting to hear different circles.

I don't have the motion/arm angle/elbow stress knowledge to have a workable conversation about it. I'm pretty sure there's more than one way to teach pitchers how to, you know, pitch. And if said-uphappy-group is not a fan of a present pitching coach, for whatever reason that may, or may not, have anything to do with his coaching, then there's some bias and BS to sift through. It requires knowledge of the subject I don't have.
I would expect Bolt to bring in someone with a wealth of experience at an appropriate level. So, here's hoping that happens.
I would not expect our pitchers to use the Jammer.

I have zero clue on arm slot and everything else. But Bolt needs to just cut complete ties. Get people happy and excited, not indifferent and able to carry any preconceived notions about prior things.
Christy coming back to Lincoln and Harvell joining the staff will be interesting. I don't think any of them are pitching guys, but Bolt and Harvell have both been recruiting coordinators.
It says that baseball teams can have 3 paid assistants so it would stand to reason he has a pitching coach in mind somewhere out there. I like the catching background and recruiting background of both assistant coaches mentioned to date. It will be interesting to see who the pitching coach is going to be.
I think spellcheck got me and sent me to basketball assistants, lol. I saw the part about requesting a third coach and then an article said 3 paid assistants allowed, lol. Thanks for setting me straight! So, one coordinator and possibly a pitching coach down the road?@skerinks
Baseball can only have 2 paid assistants, so one of them may be coming back in an administrative recruiting role
The NCAA had a vote to allow a third assistant, so you were probably in the right spot, but conferences like the B1G voted it down while the SEC was unanimously in favor.I think spellcheck got me and sent me to basketball assistants, lol.
