[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 944231, member: 4003"] For the record, I was defending our performance through at least the Louisville series. Maybe through BC as well. We won 2/3 against Notre Dame (lost the third by a blowout...) and should have won 2/3 at Louisville. Gave up a big lead to lose to Auburn in extra innings in the middle of those series as well. Took 2/3 against Clemson (again, blown out in game 3). Was still positive through the first 2 games and 6 1/3 innings of game 3 of the BC series where we won the first and lost the second game 3-1. At that point, we had a 6-4 conference record. Then innings 7 and 8 happened where we turned a 5-4 deficit into an unfathomable 24-12 loss. To me that was the beginning of the disaster that we have seen lately. I no longer expect us to win another series this year, and that includes Gardner Webb. Our pitchers just don't have the command needed to throw strikes consistently. Why, I don't know. Perhaps our coaches are trying to overload them with analytics like spin rate, etc., rather than just concentrating on the #1 priority for a pitcher with is to THROW STRIKES! I hope things improve over the rest of the season, but I am not expecting it at this point. And our performance to this point, although we're only a game below where I expected our ACC record to be based on [USER=322]@GTNavyNuke[/USER]'s pre ACC season poll, is trending downward quickly. No excuse for where this team is right now. I don't want to hear excuses, such as injuries to our starting rotation, I just want to see wins at this point. [/QUOTE]
