13 walks in the first two games and three here in the 1st inning.
Anderson had his pitchers challenge the hitters and throw strikes. A quick way to get pulled was to walk people.
Since Rooney has taken over the pitchers, walk counts are way up and chances for the other teams to have big innings has increased. Believe this has been a big reason why the team has been down since Anderson left.
Lets not turn this into a political discussion. Just because you don’t think lifting the mask mandate is a good idea doesn’t mean anyone cares what you think.
We did battle Texas the entire series except Sunday. As long as they keep getting better throughout the season its gonna be fun. One thing texas did was not swing too much and get our pitch counts high.
I also have noticed a decline in pitching performance since Anderson left, but Anderson was pretty special. I actually have been remiss in how Tennessee has been doing since he jumped there.
