[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 300345, member: 944"] Nah, even with that, our pitching is just...embarrassing. We are 13th out of the 14 ACC teams in Team ERA at 5.15...only VPI&SU is worse. On top of that, I think we nearly lead the league in unearned runs allowed with 27 (WF has allowed 33). By comparison, Clemson has allowed 12 unearned runs, Duke 16. Our fielding % is 4th from bottom. But what is still incredible to me is how poorly we pitched on Coral Gables, where Miami with its TEAM batting average of 0.211, made us look like a peewee team on the mound, scoring 32 runs. Since then in their next TWO ACC series, the powerhouse 'canes have put up a total of 11 and 12 runs, for a total of 23 runs. They can likely go another weekend series before they match what they did against us in one series. Was it Squints who told me they were really a good hitting team?? Balderdash! Our hitting continues to follow the "big basher" theory. We tend to get some HR's and lots of K's. I think in part that is due to the stadium we play in, which I think is a hitter friendly stadium, and encourages this approach. We are 3rd in the ACC in HR's, we are 4th worst in K's per game, ranking just above that powerhouse hitting club Miami, as well as Notre Dame, BC and VPI&SU. Overall, this team is just exceptionally unimpressive. They look to me like winning 1 of 3 against the weakest ACC teams is our best bet on the road, while we seem more likely to get swept on the road against the top half of the league. At home, I would think we could get 2 of 3 against our brethen seller-dweelers and 1 of 3 against top tier teams. I personally think we'll go 11-19 against the league this year, miss any type of post-season play. Then the real question will be whether Hall actually changes anything worthwhile. I am honestly not sure if all can be blamed on Howell as pitching coach. I am not yet convinced that the problem hasn't become Hall himself. [/QUOTE]
