CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Louisiana Tech hits the road for the final conference series of the season at Hayes Stadium at Charlotte.
More...
Discuss it here.
The obvious thing is that Tech absolutely has to turn this trend around of Charlotte dominating us in head to head play. As tough as it’s going to be to win this series or even greater to sweep it, we need to. We need all the momentum we can get going into the conference tournament. I think we all know that the only way we make the NCAAs is to pretty much win out, take the championship or finish 2nd.
what is this "championship" you talk of?Quote:

And even the Tech women prefer to be bridemaids rather than the bride when it comes to reaching the NCAAs.Quote:

On paper it looks like we should take 2 of 3, but....well, y'all know.
I can’t believe how bad Rice and Tulane are at baseball now.
We need at least 2 out of 3 and 2 wins in Hattiesburg for a shot at getting into a regional.
We will probably Tech it up and sweep this weekend, win the tournament then not win a game in regionals.
Same lineup and batting order with Gibson starting.

From out of left field, here's my prediction for the final standings:Quote:

Have no clue how the three 19-11 teams will be seeded due to tiebreakers.
MT would have to win 2 against USM to do that.Quote:

and however many we're going to give up in the 7th.Quote:

Can we not lobby to have the games start at 7 est.
Fits the pattern. Tech needs 8 hits or more to win consistently. 6 won't get it done.Quote:

Just your average Friday night as a Dawg fan.
Did I hear Allen right saying that Charlotte had 100 more walks for the season than Tech. That sounds totally unbelievable but given our number of Ks maybe it’s not so big a stretch.
Charlotte led the nation by 10 with 344 walks going into today and added 3 more tonight. 347 now.Quote:

5-way tie for third at 17-11 one game behind Tech. Seems pretty simple now since Tech will likely be the #2 seed only if it wins its next two games. Otherwise Tech could fall anywhere in that 3-7 mix.

Right now, the only good thing you can say about us is Young and Corona are hitting well lately. That's it. Which is why a good coach, one whose head was not up his ass, would "bunch" those two such that they are likely to bat in the same inning many times. Right now, I would put Young 2nd and Corona 3rd in the lineup. Who would lead off? Doesn't seem to matter too much with all the inconsistency, but someone who might get on base and who has decent speed. Other certainties would have Matulia batting 8th and Elliot 9th. The rest of the lineup, for now, would be based on our history vs. opposing starters. Example, maybe we'll see a guy in H'burg that McConnell has lit up, well, have him lead off that game. Like that. Use your head for something other than a cap rack.
Our pitching is average down to woeful, and our defense is "very pedestrian." Someone cited fielding stats recently...well, stats don't tell the tale...just watch this bunch trying to play Division I baseball defense. Calling them "okay" would be an extreme compliment, and misleading.
But, ultimately, it won't matter, because no matter our official seeding we are no better than the 7th best team...I have us placed ahead of UAB, yeah baby!
Don't you know that one of the job descriptions is having your head up your ass.Quote:

Probably a new pitching coach too since our senior starters as a whole are considerable unimproved from last year. If you’re not going to get better at least don’t get worse and we didn’t do that. Burroughs has to upgrade his coaching, his coaches coaching and everything his team does. We can’t afford to backside anymore.Quote:

Usually the overall best hitter bats 3rd, that is Baseball 101. By overall, it means the guy who dots all the i's with average, power, RBIs. Taylor Young is a very good 3-hole hitter. Unfortunately, Tech lacks the two guys you want leading off and hitting 2nd. High on-base averages, run well, can steal bases, and who can handle the bat...meaning minimal striking out. We don't have such hitters, that is why I suggested putting Young 2nd, Corona 3rd. Not ideal, but we don't have anyone else.Quote:

Nope. You saying Young should be a 3 hole hitter shows your low baseball IQ. He defines a perfect one hole hitter.
Glad they burned that challenge but I don't understand why the 1st base coach called for it. I understand wanting your guy to be safe in that moment, but you've got to be sure in that situation, right?
Didn't look close to me. Only thing was if Jennings had the ball when his foot was on the bag.Quote:

From the sounds of things and how it sounds like Jennings isn’t getting much in the way of calls I think any of our other pitchers would’ve blown up by now and starting serving up easy hits down the middle of the plate.
Elliot might beat Burchfield in a foot race.
His misses have been close, but most were balls. He did get at least two Young-level balls called as strikes.Quote:

With tonight's win, Tech cannot finish worse than Charlotte. So it is now seeds 2-6. And that could very easily change with a couple of games still in progress.
What can be said now is that if Tech wins tomorrow, it has the #2 seed.
Charlotte scheduled fireworks. Kiss of death.
A big important win. Thank you Ryan for being tough and not letting that ump beat you.
Game time Saturday moved up to 11:00 PM (assuming ET) according to LB. Went right over Teddy's head.
Amazing that LB says he does not pay attention to RPI, but knows all the current CUSA tournament seeding scenarios
Except he doesn't. With UTSA's win over UAB and USM's 17-0 win over MT, Tech will be the 2, 3, or 4 seed depending on tomorrow's results. MT and Charlotte will not be able to catch Tech. But combinations of the other 3 teams could if Tech doesn't win tomorrow.Quote:

Probably because he knows that maintaining future job security matters in how his team does this year. To finish ugly will be a bolt font black mark in the judgement book. Following up last years NCAA appearance matters. Even more important than Burroughs’ resume is that this team gets in for the seniors who have played hard to get there.Quote:

[QUOTE=PawDawg;1832942]Young hits doubles. He has HR power too, but mostly he is our most consistent hitter across ALL the hitting stats. He is a perfect 3 hole hitter. Yeah, sure when we had Parker Bates, we didn't need Young to be the 3 hole hitter. I am talking about THIS YEAR's team.Quote:

Young is our best threat to steal AND leads in walks, but I'm sure you noticed that with all your baseball knowledge. He is the best lead off batter Tech has ever had. See the records.
Yes, he is an excellent lead off guy. He'd also make a great 2-hole hitter, and 3-hole hitter. Hell! he'd make an excellent 9-hole hitter if he was on a team of awesome hitters! This is not about Young's ability at the plate wherever he bats in the lineup. It's about the needs of the team this year. He is our best OVERALL hitter and Baseball 101 states that is your 3-hole hitter. Period. But YOU said the best OVERALL hitter on a team should be the 2-hole hitter... I actually LOL'd at that stupid comment.Quote:

Corona is looking really good at the plate for the past month+. Even when he gets behind 0-2 he is protecting the plate, and drove one to the deepest part of the park for a noisy out. I would have Young and Corona batting closer to each other in the lineup right now. If you want Young to lead off, put Corona in the 3-hole, separated by anyone but Matulia. Maybe McConnell.

TY!!
More than two....Quote:
