Time for new blood. Need a coach who can recruit a whole team.

The first question I have is to Dave Matlin. What is his expectations for UH baseball? Apparently, Ben Jay was satisfied that the fans were coming out to support the team. And he gave Trapasso a 3 year extension. Now we’re stuck for another 2 more years. What is Matlin going to do? For me, Rainbow Warrior baseball fans deserve more. The team, the fans, the community, needs an exciting and winning product on the field. Trapasso has been at the helm for 14 years now, 16 by the time his extension is over. I wouldn’t give him an extension, unless he takes the team to a regional in the next 2 years, maybe even the super regional. Anyway, that’s my take.

Nuff of the Trap era already. Time for a change.

#2 I whole heartedly agree that we need a very good hitting coach. Aliviado is a good hitter but tried to hit homeruns and developed a dip in his swing which affected his batting average.

Baseball is the only team game where defense cannot score runs/points. Ergo, hitting is at the minimum 51% of a successful team. Team has to get a good hitting coach, one who can really teach good hitting…UH needs one badly.

one telling sign, was when Trap let his pitching coach go, when their offense was and still is woeful. Who’s the batting coach now?…..can we say, soon to be reassigned?

I think the most telling stat (maybe) would be to look at the runners LOB. I didn’t watch every game, but I watched a good bunch of them, and imo, the most frustrating thing was the amount of times we would get runners in scoring position or even bases loaded with less than 2 outs and produce zilch! The offense definitely is lacking, but we’ve still put a lot of runners on and had a lot of chances to score. If we can’t get over .300 hitters, we at least need clutch hitters with higher RBI percentages and not necessarily higher batting averages. Of course, either or works, or even both!
