[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 279550, member: 2843"] In this interview posted by [USER=302]@Stinger90[/USER], Coach Hall touches briefly on the importance of team chemistry to success. [URL='https://t.co/xv2wD6BIZ8']http://www.collegebaseballnow.com/danny-hall-georgia-tech-yellow-jackets/ …[/URL] We have come to expect Ga Tech baseball to be 'above average' in the conference and nationally. The results sometimes seem to wind up barely above average (don't argue with me...I'm staying positive) in some recent seasons. This forum is full of good explanations on why that's happened...not really important to rehash all that to make my point. I agree with Coach Hall and I'm a big believer...and this applies to all team sports... that team chemistry is a big X factor that is so difficult to master. You can recruit "good baseball talent" and "good kids" ...and prepare them and make them better. You can get lucky (or unlucky) with injuries.

I follow/watch all Ga Tech sports now from significant distance (literally and figuratively)... far removed and with no inside source or information.
