[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 25625, member: 944"] While Hall's post-season record speaks for itself, and you can always find issues with how he manages a game (I don't like his base-running decisions, myself), the simple truth is that we have not had enough pitching to advance in the post-season. Baseball is 90% pitching, and good pitching always beats good hitting. Those renowned baseball axioms are generally true in the college ranks as well, especially in the new dead ball era we have entered. When you look at Hall's talent, or GT grads in the bigs, it is almost exclusively hitters/position players. In fact, I can't think of a single Hall pitcher to make the bigs off the top of my head. I am not close enough to say whether this is poor recruiting, poor player development, or what. It is merely an observation of the facts as I notice them. My personal guess is that in the live ball era, Hall thought you could pound your way to Omaha, with 'just enough' pitching. So he focused on landing hitters. Worked well in the regular season, but failed in the post-season. I am ever hopeful that he will not get enough pitching talent onto the Flats to make a serious run. I think he now tries to recruit pitching, so we will see what happens. [/QUOTE]
