ND:
- Thread starter 73Card
- Start date
We have too many hackers at the plate. McCoy, EKjr, Napleton - every swing (98%) is a HR swing. On occasion it works; but, swinging into the pitch and driving the ball reduces SOs. Can add Benson into that group - he’s just swinging away; same swing, every pitch.
It's been a bad year but the crowd for this twinbill is disappointing. Couldn't ask for better weather. It doesn't that the help the CJ ignores the baseball team. More than a few folks still read the local rag. At least the digital edition anyway.

I probably need to get off my ass for a while if I a going to watch game 2.
Well D1 Baseball's May 15th projection does not have the Cards even in the final four out. Might have to win our pod in the ACC tournament.
Yeah kinda where I see us. Crapped the bed @ Vandy and NC and are in the battle of their lives to salvage something from this season other than disappointment.
Does anyone truly believe this team deserves a tournament spot? I know as fans we want them in, but have they earned it?
And does anyone really believe we would win a game?
The only question I'm really interested in is will Coach Mac be back? This season is shot and getting blown out in two tournament games I'm not so interested in.
The baseball program is at a crossroads, similar to football in Petrino's final season and the men's hoops team today. The big difference is Coach McDonnell who I believe is capable of making the necessary adjustments, but maybe not willing to do so.

Oh yes, I agree noise will have to be made in the ACCT to have even a chance to get in. I would rather they get in and lose than not get in.
I personally hope that Mac will be back. He's earned some leeway with his past successes, just look at his resume. Its not the same as our recent basketball or even football coach changes. Now is Coach Mac willing to make changes in his staff (namely Williams) might be the real question. There has to be some changes, either a shakeup in the coaching staff or roster....
Yeah I think they need to get together and figure out who's not able to handle the ACC stage that might be too big for some and make some hard decisions. I just hope the young fielders that aren't playing hang in there.
I really think we'll know which way this goes with this team in about 5 days.
It was reiterated by Mac and Moth post game that if certain individuals perform to their capabilities that there is enough offense to make a run. I really think with the elimination mindset we could see some veteran pitchers snap to. Not all but there are already guys that have gotten it going.
We'll see when the competition gets ratcheted up around Tuesday or Wednesday. We should know if there's gonna be enough in the bullpen to handle any kind of deep run.

There have been brief periods this season where individuals performed at levels that would suggest that some post season success might be a possibility. The problem is the inconsistency. EK Jr services as an example, as early on many of us questioned his contribution was worthy of a starting role. Here of late, he appears to be stepping up to his projected ability.
