Time for my drive by, as some imbecile who can't endure someone with a different perspective as she once posted...'I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked!'

Actually. I like Serrano but no one can claim with any credence, that things are better now than before. Every season proves kicking Delmonico to the curb was a big mistake...the curse of Delmonico!!

Depends on what you mean by "things".

The kids wearing the power T did not give up and fought until the last out, which is not shocking.

Typical fan who only sees the win column and what is written in the snippet in the paper.

APR was screwed under Delmonico, even Raleigh (who I supported, but didn't complain about the firing) improved/stabilized that to give Serrano a bit of a foundation to get it where it is now.

Delmonico was a prick who didn't do anything that was required of him. He didn't even show up at his camps that had his name on them.

Yes, he went to 3 CWS. But if you look at his trend, his teams were just as bad as these are for 3-4 years with a rare good one mixed in. If that is unacceptable for football (ie firing Fulmer) why is it glorified for Delmonico?

TRUTH, but the whiners refuse to see it. :hi:

Getting back on topic: When you have to pretty much sweep a series to have a legit shot at making it to Hoover:

--Why don't you start your best starting pitcher in the opening game. You have to win the first game.
--Why do you bring in a reliever who has blown more games than anyone on the staff
--Why do you let that pitcher stay in the game long enough to walk 4 straight batters (the first two on 8 pitches)?

The recruiting, development and handling of the pitching staff has been a major reason for the debacle which is the 2016 season. I want Serrano to succeed but next year's team will be less talented than this one. I don't see it getting any better until Tennessee can recruit, develop and correctly handle an SEC caliber of pitchers.

things like winning games I'm sure

Yes. Winning is a thing.

It doesn't matter if you win them all if you can't go to the postseason because you didn't meet the APR requirement.

The biggest knock on Serrano before he was hired by the people here who wanted somebody else like Burke, was that CDS was not a good example for the players because he didn't have a "real degree". That players wouldn't/couldn't take him seriously when he told them to go to class.

1000 RPI. That's a thing too.

Repairing the the relationships with high school coaches that Raleigh just torched while allowing SC, VU, OM, MSU to set up a shop in Tennessee...he hasn't been able to fix the second part, but he's certainly helped the first part...that's a thing.

He hasn't won nearly enough, nobody disagrees with that...but the overall health of the baseball program, what all the next person is going to have to fix, can be built on rather than torn down and rebuilt from scratch.

That's a thing.

I certainly agree with everything you've said, and I'm sure you know more than me, but he just hasn't won, and winning is still the main "thing." If you don't win, nothing else is going to keep you as the coach. And I'm not saying that if you just simply win it is enough. You have to do all the "things" is takes to have a healthy baseball program. Don't get me wrong I'm a Coach Serrano fan! I wish to goodness that he'd won, but he didn't. It's time to give someone else a chance.

That's fair.
