Jim Ecker of MetroSportsReport.com posted a feature on Kernels pitching coach Gary Lucas. Good insight in to Lucas and how the players and manager Jake Mauer feel about him.

 

As a former pitcher, I loved this quote because it exemplifies the positive reinforcement I see Luke giving guys all the time.

 

"If I'm in their shoes, I don't want to hear about what I just did wrong, I want to hear about how I'm going to get myself out of this jam," he said. "These young kids, they're rattled. So if they can get a positive thought and it carries them, maybe that's the ticket."

 

Here's the link to the article.

Thanks for the post. It is nice to read that our young pitchers are in good hands.

Thanks for the link. Very enjoyable article; sounds like a great guy as coach.
