They lowered his slot in the offseason. It takes time, I've used this analogy before but it's like grooving a swing change in golf. I have said it before and I'll say it again, if he settles in and is more accurate after the change, I'll be surprised if it's this year. He needs lots and lots of reps.
I didn't pay attention to whether or not he was coming back over the top last night. It's really hard to make yourself not do it, especially in a pressure situation. I made the change from 3/4 to over the top my freshman year and never completely got to where it was natural. I still go back to 3/4 if I throw. My golf coach had me change my swing to less in to out my sophomore year. It worked sooner because I was playing every day and hitting an easy 500+ balls a week.
Just depends on how much work he's putting in. The thing that sucks with baseball is you can't just throw 100's of pitches a day to work it in faster.

They are going to look so good while we attempt to swing the bat as few times as possible.

I'm one of those black uni conspiracy theorists and I must say that this is a poor move to go black uni right after going 1-3 last week.

Cohen said that these are nice uniforms to get buried in.

Hey, I'm glad he turned it around.
ETA: These young guys are going to be really good. Rooker, Gridley, Collins, Humphries, just need to work out the bullpen issues. Crazy.
ETAx2: I was just put on a 12 hour post quality review ban for posting about the Saints being open to trading Brees. SMDH.

Wow, they are serious about their Saints.

So did we dodge a bullet yesterday or are they really that good of a team?
It just seems to me like College Baseball as a sport is far more competitive top to bottom than any other.

I'm honestly not sure what to think. We don not look very good right now. On the other hand, coming back and getting the W was something this team really needed. The pen is really worrying me right now, we don't have anyone I trust to close a game. Mints showed signs of it last night, I really had high hopes for Daniel Brown in that situation and he just didn't deliver. Not comforting that our best shot for improvement at closer is Fitts shaving his beard.
From an offensive standpoint, we have to stop playing with the lineup so much IMO. Absolutely have to have the guys with pop on their bat in the game and they need their reps to settle in, specifically Rooker and Collins. I think Hump is starting to come around as well, if he and Rooker develop as batters over the course of the season we could really have something nice there. I would like to see those 3 in the position to drive home more RBI's. Not a fan of having more than 2 consecutive guys in the order who only hit singles. Maybe start the order something like Heck-Robson-Collins-Hump-Gridley-Rea. Personally I would swap Collins and Robson but if Heck gets on base there is a 1000% chance that Cohen wants to bunt him over, so Robson is your best bet there.

This is definitely true. College baseball is so much more competitive, I think it's because you don't need to be tall and stacked to play it so you aren't straight away restricted by genetics as much.

Good points. Bullpen is definitely letting us down this year. We'll see what Stover can do this evening.

This is not going to change under Cohen. You just have to except it. I don't mind it as much as other people.

Our offense is really good right now as far as getting on base. We just need some guys to show some power.

Yeah that's how I feel. We need to put guys like Collins, Hump, Brown, Rea, or Rooker in position to drive in runs more often. We have too many situations where there are runners on and we have Gridley, Robson, Holland, Reybolds, or Heck at the plate. Those guys are great at getting on base but aren't a real threat to put down a double and score some runs.
