[QUOTE="CrackerJacket, post: 20587, member: 712"] Well, Mids, I live in Tx, so the answer is, "I don't see the 'Jackets as much as I'd like.". I've seen some of what has been on ESPN the past few years. I've combined three Masters trips with GT baseball (vs MD in 2005, NC in 2009, and Dook in 2012). So I've been in the house for seven games during Hall's tenure, all of them ACC tilts. The repeated postseason flameouts are a matter of record, but posters in the Atl area see a lot more of the team than I do, and I'm interested in what knowledgeable GT fans have to say about Hall's recruiting, handling of pitchers, and in-game strategy. I agree with you there's something lacking. I'm trying to figure out what it is. Here are my observations and opinions FWIW. I hope other posters will elaborate. 1. Pitching depth is an issue. Seems like we are always an arm short as compared to NC and the other conference big boys. 2. Recent history is we rack up a bunch of lopsided wins early in a season, but then the road gets tougher as we get into the meat of our conference schedule. Not surprising, but it makes me think we are not good at situational hitting, and maybe we have been a station-to-station baserunning team. 3. Hall made a really odd move vs Duke. We'd won the first 2 games of the series, bombing their bullpen in game 2. On Sunday, our first two hitters lined hard singles, so men on 1st & second, no outs. "Pitcher ain't foolin' anybody. We are set up for a big inning", I think. But Hall had his #3 hitter - presumably the best hitter in his lineup - sac bunt. We scored just one in the inning and eventually lost the game by 1. There was no real reaction from the crowd when we bunted in that situation - like it was a normal thing for us. This is the one specific instance I saw in-game which made me think, "Stuff like this is why we keep flaming out in postseason. You don't play for 1 in the first like that, you go for the throat."
