And the coach in all three of those sports has a direct and immediate impact on how easy or hard it will be to make those plays. You can call the best play for the defensive look you're getting. Granted, sometimes the players don't execute. There's not much a baseball coach can do if an opposing pitcher is unhittable.
Like tackling Fournette or Henry?

Christ. It's obvious you're just being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. Bottom line is: from someone who has played four of the five sports competitively, the baseball manager has the least amount of in-game impact on a game out of the five major sports (football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey).

Even though it's 0-0 after the 2nd, TTU hitters have been making a lot of contact with the ball during their at-bats. We need to tighten up and put some runs on the board. I don't think we can rely on or expect to get outs the rest of the game with how the Red Raiders are getting metal on the ball.

Top of the 4th and the TTU batter just laid down a nice bunt and took 1st base on it. Small ball!!! Wish we tried doing that every now and then.

Faedo's struggling, throwing too many pitches, looks like his control is off. If we don't tighten up, this could get ugly. Hope the good guys prove me wrong on that.

Two runners on, swung at the first pitch and bounced into a double play. It's enough to make you go crazy.

Another double play. Pathetic! Whenever CWS time rolls around, it seems like our guys forget how to play (pitch, hit, field) and coach. Frustrating!

Poor effort by the hitter...but Sully needed to make it crystal clear before he stepped into the batter's box that he needed to lay off the first pitch and make the pitcher work for the out.
