Elliot just doesn't manage the game very well. No way I pitch to their hottest hitter with 1st base open. Walk him and possibly get a dbl play etc. Just don't let him be the one to beat you.

Oh well. Will watch them next weekend and then tune back in during acct. that's only way get into ncaa's

You're assuming we get in to the acct? We likely need to win 6 of 9 in these last three acc series to get in.

How can this team be so poorly coached? It is baffling.

is that really on coaching? that is the first thing you are taught in little league. OF calls that. IF gets out of the way.

at some point it's on the players
The base running, the fielding, the pitchers' inability to get guys out with two strikes. It's all bad and its baffling because up until last year, these weren't issues with Avent's teams.
Think we may be seeing the decline of Avent right before our eyes. Just seems like he DGAF these last 2 years. Idk...
I just can't imagine that's the case.


I doubt he has completely checked out but something is off. The last two years we have massively underachieved and it's all been self inflicted. At some point we all lose that fire inside of us. I feel like the Omaha trip took its toll on Avent and led to him becoming satisfied, complacent, over it, or whatever you want to call it.
As someone who has to interview him after games, especially ones that NC State loses, I can tell you that the man is intense. There is no coach I dread dealing with after NC State loses more than Avent, and I don't mean that in a bad way. He just has no patience for bad baseball, and he has watched quite a bit of it this season.


Hating losing doesn't take effort. Grinding 24/7/365 takes a ton of effort and at some point in all of our lives we lose the drive to do it the way we once did. Getting to the office an hour later or delegating something you used to do yourself could be the difference in winning and losing.

Too many mistakes tonight to pull out the w. On to tomorrow in what feels like a must win.

This team is just so frustrating. Love going to games on the weekends but you really are just waiting for someone to do something stupid.

We needed 10 to win, but keep bunting Eliot!!!

Not playing or coaching very well is why we lose. Too much talent to have this kind of record.

We are almost done. We look like a bad little league team. Done in by our own mistakes over and over. Two straight years sitting on the couch eating popcorn. Not a good look

To my knowledge, Avent does none of that. To me, he runs the ship the same way he did in 2013 and 2021.

Three weeks left in the season and still don't have a closer.

I look at the scoreboard and I see NC State with no errors while Notre Dame has two, and with how poorly the Pack has been in the field it makes no sense at all.
Homers keeping score, helping ND batting averages. The pop fly that was misplayed hurt Lawson's ERA but they ruled that a hit....but that should be an out every time. Candelaria has to call off Harrison. Poor team defense. Sometimes, it's like we have never played before.

He didn't do anything wrong that would keep him from being the closer, other than walk a guy. If a dude hits a high outside 94 mph fastball that far, there's nothing you can do. That's Dom's strikeout pitch and the guy caught it. If anything he shouldn't have been pitching to him at all, but that's not Dom"s decision.

If that makes you not the closer, you're gonna have a tough time finding one

I say this lovingly as an Avent stan - if this team had a closer, we wouldn't be on the bubble right now.

This is just my opinion but I would like to see a coaching change in baseball. I really appreciate Avent and everything he has done to our program but I would like a fresh start next year.
