What’s wrong with the baseball team.


Apr 17, 2018, 8:49 PM

Perhaps we get hot in post season. But this doesn’t look like the same baseball team we had beginning of the year

I see us traveling in the post season. At 26 wins. I am seeing 10 more on the schedule. 36 wins and we may not host. Teams are taking advantage of our inability to hit anything other than a fastball. We are built a little like the old LSU teams. Power but low averages. That doesn't win today against good competition.

How many National Championships did the old LSU teams win ?

I would take a sliver of their success in the postseason .

Today's game has changed. They changed the balls and the bats. It has dramatically change the style of play. Omaha is even built different. Watch the world series this year. Not many flying out of there these days. It's dominate pitching and situational hitting. Situational is something that we can't do at all.

It’s like a good men’s softball league, just dropping hits in the right spots and cranking one out at the right time

We have the lowest team batting average in

the ACC. Very fortunate to have won as many as we have. But it is catching up with us as the season progresses. Many of our pitchers are young and have not pitched this many innings before and may be hitting the “wall”. Need our offense to turn it on asap.

Probably my biggest gripe. This was supposed to be a “power hitting” team. Team batting average heading towards Mendoza.........Disappointed to say the least.

The lineup includes several players batting at or below .250 which, at the collegiate level, is terrible.

Logan Davidson - .246

Robert Jolly - .243

Kyle Wilkie - .229

Drew Wharton - .221

Bryce Teodosio - .159

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

That’s baseball, hot and cold, ups and downs. You just have to hope you get hot at the right time. Got the talent to make a push.

We need a hitting coach because what’s being taught is not working.
You can’t rely on the long ball , it’s about timely hitting and good base running.

Monte is the main hitting coach.

Outfield defense has hurt us in 2 of the last 3


Apr 17, 2018, 10:08 PM

losses, and I didn't see the second loss to Miami. Wharton failed to get to catchable balls, Beer could have had a catch on the triple tonight, and Meredith fell down at the wall and didn't hold onto a ball in the 8 run 9th Friday.And as said above - we ain't hitting anything.

Jeffro74 had probably one of the better explanations than any I’ve seen. Monte philosophy is exactly what he’s trying to get too. Recruiting athletes to play good defense and baseball smarts as well as pitching. That being said:

Our d1 stats are horrible. Very fortunate to have the record we do. Our pitching has been ok. Think this game makes us 1-6 against top 25 teams.

We have a very favorable looking schedule from here on out. We’ll definitely make a regional, probably host a regional with a little luck, a sweep or two in May. That’s not bad... but it’s not acceptable to me for Tigers to just get in or host a regional. Time for some championships and trips to Omaha. Omaha was a staple and we’re starring at close to a decade without a trip.

I really like Monte and have been a big supporter of his. I like his philosophy but sadly our record against top 25 teams (that finish top 25) in 2.5 years coaching is horrendous. Excuses starting to wear thin that said pitcher just had a great night against us etc etc.

48 per cent of all of our runs scored this year have come from the home run. It's feast or famine. Most teams now
Have us scouted and play our left handed hitters with the third baseman pulled over to the right side of the infield.
Even though this leaves third base vulnerable we don't take advantage and continue to hit to the right side into a lot
Of double plays. Either this is bad coaching or the players just can't hit to the vacant hole in the infield. Add this to no bunts no hit and run and we have a team that is not taking advantage of what the other team is giving us
