Regardless of the rest of Tech tonight it’s great see Young do well for himself. I sure would love to see him get a shot at the next level. The guy just plays really good baseball.

Tech 6 hits with 8 strikeouts. Young had 3 of the 6 hits. 6 hits isn’t competitive against anyone.
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.Originally Posted by Bone_afide_Dawg
8 hits wouldn't have gotten it done tonight either though. Needed at least 12 to have a shot.
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.
Tech has walked 238 times this year (ranked #83 going into Thursday). Last year's Tech team walked 271 times.

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.
Those numbers added in to our woeful batting averages and strikeout numbers confirm to me by leaps and bounds that we need a new hitting coach for 2023. 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.
The Y is open for business early today. Marshall has 6 runs on 8 hits with 4 doubles and a home run in two innings. 6-0 Herd over FAU after 2.
But no lead is safe at the Y. FAU answers with 4 in the top of the 3rd, but Marshall has answered with a 2-run HR right off the bat in the bottom of the 3rd. 8-4 Marshall.
