Message: [QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 4649071, member: 12210"] I've seen Cookie in person several times including fall ball. His velocity is fine and I like his breaking stuff (when he can locate it). The issue is the movement (or lack thereof) on his fastball. Quite simply his fastball is too straight. If he can find some movement on the hard stuff I feel you would see a step change in results. Regarding Sully, obviously, it's location, location, location. The other night he got dinked and dunked early. Everything found a hole. I thought he was throwing well. However, he couldn't get through it, Hofstra started barreling balls forcing Penders to make the early change. At present SQuigs is the most reliable and Sears has a high ceiling. Cookie and Sully it's like betting red/black down at Mohegan. Who knows. Coe seems to have found his niche in long relief. However, in tourney format, you can get away with that ONE time. Then Coe is done for that stage. You can't have 2-3 blow-up starts. I don't want to be a buzzkill but the starting pitching is really bothering me. It's overshadowing all the good stuff because it's looming like a dark cloud over tourney time. Coach Mac being unable to fix this is worrisome. Means it's a real problem. He's the best there is and it's no better than it was in Feb. [/QUOTE]
