We'd have close to 10 more wins now if we had decent (not great) pitching. We got some really bad pitching pickers.

I can’t remember a pitching staff at Tech this bad.

That's the alarming part.

Can you sum up what he said? I didn't get to listen.

I’d say Burroughs is focusing on a perceived effort that he thinks is good and not any winning results. It’s simply the old Holtz spin of we competed… I think Burroughs has lessened his expectations of this team because both the coaches and players have proved that even together they’re simply not capable of playing at any consistently higher level. Tech doesn’t have the leadership, drive or enough skilled players to be a winning team.

The above. He is heaping praise on bad play (and effort) because he knows he is at fault.

They have to win tonite at Brown-Stroud...

If not the season is going to go from an out of control spiral to a death plunge -

3 in a row and counting -

Our lone hope for a win at Reckling is Finch - if he is off we more than likely get swept

I think we are all seeing how valuable Silva was to this program

But the pitching thing is just pitiful…LB has NEVER been good at who or when and we saw that in his first year when he had a sure thing regional team but totally blew it with mismanaged pitching and HORRIBLE base coaching. He’s already made more base running mistakes than he did all of last year and the year before.

This is just a small sample of what all Burroughs gets wrong in how he manages the team and handles in game situations. I think both of Tech’s NCAA playoff teams could’ve done better and gone further if not for Burroughs bad decision making. We’re all seeing a greater demonstration of this in how this season has gone.
