[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 149529, member: 322"] Yup, if we go 4-2 we are at 500 on the year. Largely because we got swept by BC IMHO. And we will be 6th or 7th likely depending on the tie breakers. Since Clemson and ND are currently #5 & #6 and we have the tie breaker that is an advantage. #7 is NC State who we didn't play. So we may get lucky at 500 and in the top 6. I'm not happy wither since we were playing better to start the year and mid-year. I rationalize the Pitts continuing to pitch this way. First, Parr or anyone else available isn't that much better. Second, Hall is giving Pitts one last chance to get drafted. I think pitching Pitts on the weekends and him succeeding is the only way he will get drafted. Pitts did a lot of good stuff for us 2 and 3 years ago so I kind of see Pitt's interests being put ahead of the teams. [I]I think Hall is very much a player's coach who helps his players as much as he can.[/I] The big benefit is that if Pitt's control does come back in the next few weeks, we have a chance to go deeper in the ACC tourney and a bit deeper in the NCAAs. If it doesn't, we are screwed and haven't developed talent for next year. That is what bothers me. Just like I would have play more backup QBs, to develop for the future, I'd probably develop more FR and SO than we are. Pabst is back and seemed ok from what I heard on Sunday.
