[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 228667, member: 322"] After all these years, you'd think the GT coaching staff would be ready for such an eventuality as a pitcher not being able to throw strikes? And then stall with multiple visits to give Parr a bit more time? See it all the time from other team's coaches. This type of slowness to pull players is why I have the [I]opinion[/I] that Hall often favors the individual players more than the team at least compared to other managers. Hall has lots of strengths, which is why he is the winningest baseball coach in GT history. And this emphasis on the players may be part of the reason why they love him so much and he recruits so well. No free lunch. Anyway, Miami is very good. D1 Baseball talks about how great both Miami and Louisville "mid-week" starters are. So good in fact that both teams have only lost one mid-week game all year. They quoted Lepore as saying he was fine and expected to start next weekend. D1 said he did a great job limiting us to 3 hits in 6 innings against our "fearsome" offense. Also (deserved) kudos to Parr: "[I]Overshadowed by Lepore’s strong start, Georgia Tech got 6.2 brilliant innings of relief from lefthander Ben Parr, who entered a tough spot with the bases loaded and one out in the first inning after the Hurricanes jumped on freshman starter Jake Lee. Parr allowed two inherited runners to score on an infield single and a squeeze, but he held Miami scoreless from that point through the seventh inning, allowing just two more hits. Parr, a low three-quarters slinger, pitched heavily off his 87-89 mph fastball, which has good deception and riding, tailing life. He was a tough matchup for Miami’s four key lefthanded hitters in the heart of the lineup. “Well, they have a lot of lefties, so that played into my strengths, lefty-lefty,” Parr said. They take some big swings, so you just have to kind of trick them a little bit more than other teams, especially if you get behind in the count.” [/I] [/QUOTE]
