The thing about these smaller conference teams, the can have a really good pitcher and compete, but unable to sustain many games!!

No doubt! I saw some good pitching in the first day yesterday. Surprised the heck out of me.
Does Lecroy ever take ifield practice? Does he not work on throwing to first base. He had a week since the SEC tournament to work on things. The worst fielding team in recent memory.
It's mental at this point for him. Thinking about it too much. Probably a a case of the yips.
Wake/ECU game was on ESPN2. Crazy back and forth scores at the end. Wake scored 5 in the top of the 9th to go up 6-4. ECU scored 3 in the bottom of the 9th to win the game and eliminate Wake.
I blame WF coach for that loss, should've pulled the pitcher after 2 men got on base and no outs, but in true Kingston fashion, he waited until they were tied with bases loaded and no outs
Yep. We hit into something ike 4 yesterday and several so far today.
How about two of our most productive hitters today being Tippett and Brewer? To think Kingstone wouldnt even have them in the game if it werent for injuries. Not sure what Kingstone even does here
Guys, if you will remember we weren't scoring enough during the middle part of conference play when Brinling replaced Brewer and it seemed to give the offense a spark, the same thing when Tippett went down, we had to give up defense to shift people around to keep enough offense on the field. I would say it worked to a degree because Tippett struggled to get back on the field, granted we have made some bad defensive plays lately, but we have traditionally been a good to very good fielding team, even under Kingston, so it is out of character to not make the standard plays. The bottom line is you have to be good at all phases of the game to compete with the nations best and I haven't seen that much with this team this year, we're usually missing one piece in every game, pitching, hitting, or defense!
How many days til women’s basketball starts??
I hear ya. What I find disturbing is when you bring in a guy who was riding the bench and he out produces the lineup. Scratch that. It's really not all that disturbing... it happens. What is disturbing tho is having two guys come in and out produce your lineup. I mean good for those guys but it doesn't say much for what has happened to the rest of your lineup.
I wish Ray would stay in Raleigh after this trip considering it's his Alma mater and where he coached. Maybe they're looking for a new AD.
I see this as the end to another not even average baseball season. We are now mired in this result as long as Kingston is at the helm!!
That's a special kinda screwed up when you have a runner at third and no outs and you cant get him in in a one run game.
I think they practice hitting into double plays. They sure are good at it.
2 four pitch walks and you swing at the first pitch.
Embarrassing exit. Somebody make Kingston a Carolina baseball shirt that says "Nomaha".

Lucky to win one game this weekend. The time has come to move on. There is no reasonable expectation that more time will help at this point. Sad thing is that today's kids don't even remember us being a powerhouse because it was so damn long ago at this point.
You made me laugh, sad part is, your statement is probably more accurate than we could imagine
