I agree 100% with you regarding Lackey's throw. Lackey showed out just making the catch and throwing off balance. Bechetti did well just not to be killed, much less making the put out. I do admit my perspective may be weighed as an ex-2nd baseman.
Ours feels pretty bad. Given up 11,12, 9, 7, 8 and 14 in our last 6 games.
Based on the results the last two days you can say the same about Duke's pitching. But I don't hear anyone saying they can't make it out of a regional. Just sayin.
Probably because since 2018, Duke has won as many regionals as GT has lost.
A good major league catcher throws the ball to second in the mid eighties and it’s considered elite.
Probably gets CDH another extension so there is also that depending on where you stand as far as the future direction of the program.
I would say that good and deep pitching is essential to any postseason play.
Estimating that there are many CDH detractors who would like a different voice for this program, I do not think it’s that crazy that those who don’t want Hall back and believe our pitching is substandard for the post season would rather see us lose and not qualify. I’m not one of them, but I understand their perspective.
If that is indeed true, then go Duke. However, maybe Hall will get elected into the sacrifice bunting Hall of Fame and GT can go in another direction.
I just like to watch our guys play, even if it does make me sick on occasion.
Let’s get to the post season so these athletes can enjoy that moment. It might be the only time they get to experience it. That is what matters. Look at all the recognition CDH got this past year after a less than stellar season. It’s all about him.
Ok. Asking you this. Do you believe anything (within reason) can happen that will have Hall leave before he wants to?
