Year 1 Strong won 10 games. 

Mohl was here and part of the rebuild of the program.  Strong was not.  Bad comparison.

You still didn't answer my question about why you never liked Mohl?

If you aren't in attendance, it's on Bulls Unlimited.  I enjoyed a lot of games on that channel while driving, lawn work, exercising (rarely).   Last year it was Louk/Strong...haven't tuned in yet ton

My son just reminded me that Marist was in our Region up at Gainesville back in 2017.  They lost to the gators and then BCC I believe

We got a rocket at their SS he blocks it with his chest and throat the guy out. Next guy hits one down the third base line and he back hands it and throws him out. That is what defense should look like. We're out of here after this inning. Got to be back down here for tomorrow's mbb game.

I don’t like Mohl because his recruiting classes have been mediocre at BEST, he hasn’t shown that he can build an offense and defense combined, he’s being outplayed and recruited by multiple Florida programs, and he’s not given fans any kind of hope for the future. 
 

OH, and he lived off the success of the past head coach, regardless of being part of the staff. I’m well aware he was a pitching coach. Which is funny because he should be doing even better now but ok.

You said NEVER like him .... none of those reasons explain that.  In his first year, he went to the Regionals and pitching was pretty strong.  You couldn't have possibly known whether he would build off that or not but ok

Lol, ok, let me rephrase it then. I have no problem with him personally but I didn’t like the hire from the get go. It was a lazy hire and now we’re paying for it. Better?

I guess I'd like to see out pitching staff be a strength since our head coach is a pitching guy. I can live with our offense being sub-par if we're going to the pitching defense route, but I'm not a fan of us "hoping" our pitching staff works out and knowing our offense is going to be mediocre.

Yeah, better.  You didn't like the hire because you wanted them to go out and do a deeper search, lazy hire is fair.  I'd guess that Kingston lobbied for him big time and so Harlan gave him his shot.

Why's that?   And this is only year 3.  Year 1 he went to the NCAA Regionals

This may be true, but man it's game 1 of a long season

You’re right about one thing, it’s gonna be a long season. No bats in that lineup.

Agree.   In his defense we graduated our top 3 guys in 2018 and there were several injuries last year (although I don't think they would have completely made up for the losses to graduation.

KIngston was a hitting guy.   I talked to a player just after he took over for Prado and the guy said that Kingston told them right off the bat that if they couldn't hit, they couldn't play there.  I don't think Mohl has the same philosophy
