[QUOTE="twofortheroad, post: 553522, member: 2854"] This series mimics the 2017 visit to Miami except for the extra innings. In 2017, we lost Friday night in extra innings, won Saturday in extra innings and tanked on Sunday. Micah gave up a home run on Sunday, almost identical location in 2017 and the bullpen couldn't get it together coupled with quick pulls and no bats even though we scored 7 on that Sunday. We should have taken all 3 this year and in 2017. Just don't understand the pitching process at Tech. I understand that you can "do your thing" and there isn't a particular program that they adhere to but this year they have brought Cressy Sports Performance into work with the pitchers more on lifting and preparation and evaluation. Curry is a really good pitcher, the first and a half times through the lineup but batters start seeing his pitches better and better as the game goes along. Thomas is a fantastic pitcher but makes significant errors in pitch location, killer slider when it's working and can be lights out. I know you can't expect someone to be on all the time but at this level this is a job and the focus is on the person that makes or doesn't make the play....the pitcher until someone fielding makes an error. The new pitchers certainly show lots of promise but will it be utilized effectively. I really think they are missing a culture in the clubhouse but I understand the camaraderie is better this year. I know I have heard from a couple of families that the staff is pretty stuck in their ways and doesn't really like to look at new experiences. I had also heard that a couple of years ago that the team had always taken a player lead fall trip and it was cancelled due to some freshmen "concerns" about the goals of the trip not sure if they went this year, seems like you want these things so that you continue to develop the relationships. Other teams hold pre-season dinners that they invite the public in to meet the players, fund raise and I was told that they don't do that anymore, it's just too much trouble. Given the location of the campus we should be killing it in attendance and excitement and it's a shame we aren't. Certainly hope things are looking up and they can make some adjustments after the weekend so that we can get on top of Virginia this weekend. Always have my hopes up for this team every year and they will always have my support just wish we can catch some breaks and make the most of them. [/QUOTE]
