Bad calls happen and you can't let them rattle you
Here's how I think it goes. Every pitcher tries to hit the corners and command their off speed pitches. As they start to miss (or umps do) they start walking people and eventually they just groove one to get a strike.

Yes it's pressure. Yes it's the difference between college and high school where they could maybe blow batters away with fast balls down the middle.

Some of it is pitch calling, but no one is calling for a fast ball right down the middle. Some of it is technique. I'm not sure what causes these guys to jerk a slider 3-4 feet outside. Also part of the hit batter situation.

Personally I don't think it's all on Yeskie. I think their was poor talent evaluation and an over-estimation of how quickly these kids could be developed or even if they could be developed.
I would say there is a lack of talent at play here as well

Our pitchers don't seem to maintain command.

Why the downvotes. You didnt make the lineup
And they are both terrible catchers
He definitely missed on player evaluation and potential development
Not disagreeing, but if we just had 2-3 more sticks tnan we did we win it
Paul Skenes
Warren Morris
D J Lemehieu
Always up the middle. Catcher, pitching, shortstop, second and center field. Then the rest. We need everything
To be fair there were many many frick ups besides that
But he's not wrong. The hype exceeds the talent sometimes

Yep - the hype exceeds the talent
This team is schizophrenic. We'll see

This is the unwatchable version
My favorite play was when Serna had a perfectly legal opportunity to smash their shithead left fielder in the head with a tag. All their bs stare down was annoying
