Baseball Coaching Change: Fire Bakich

Submitted by He Hate Me on April 6th, 2021 at 11:46 AM

Now that we can turn our focus to baseball season, we can all agree it is time for AD Warde to do what's right here and finally fire Bakich as our beloved Wolverines are currently 1/2 game out of first place in the BIG behind Nebraska.  Time to fire Bakich before things get out of hand and we lose too much ground.

I have not had the opportunity to watch any games yet, anyone had the pleasure of watching them yet?  I'm a bit surprised that some of the guys I thought would be key contributors/performers for them appear to be struggling or hurt:

  • Isaiah Paige has only thrown 4 innings
  • Riley Bertram is hitting a below the Mendoza line .159
  • Christian Bullock also under the Mendoza at .194

For you football only buffs, Joey Velazquez has appeared in 4 games thus far, collecting 1 hit in 4 at bats.  

How does this work, do I create something on change.org to get the Fire Bakich wheels in motion?  Need to maximize effect here folks, it's going to get late early out here if we don't.

Bullock must be hurt. Started 11 games March 6 through March 22 and hasn't played since. His batting average wasn't terrible all things considered until his last four games went 0-2, 0-4, 0-3, 0-3. 

Also poor damn Chase Allen. Yesterday was his only appearance of the season. Didn't record an out, gave up a hit, a walk and HBP. All 3 guys scored so all earned runs so he's now sitting on an ERA and WHIP of Infinity.

I've been watching quite a bit on BTN+.  They started great but have struggled the last couple weekends.  Pitching in particular is not up to 2019 standards.

Pitching coach from 2019 left and now is with the Detroit Tigers. Can’t help but as someone else mentioned the bigger issue is scoring runs.
