What an incredibly weak showing this weekend.
Very poor defense. Poor bats. Two games of sub-par pitching.
Not exciting.

bad week of baseball
Paging Alex! Mainline some of that preseason optimism into my veins!
Random but is Trenton Lyons hurt?
0 AB so far for a switch hitter that got some run in the SEC last year and hit above .250. Jsut figured off the bench he would be ahead of Novy, Woodson, Gilliam, etc.

My optimism was always just about the pitching, which was more than good enough to win every game this weekend. Defense has been pitiful. Offense somehow worse.griff17matt said:

Andrews was great. Marohn was very good. Shaffner, Wimbish, Nance, Lucas, & Consiglio all pitched very well. Heck, Landon Carr had a good inning. Consiglio's numbers going to blow up because of a misplay leading to an inside the park grand slam (scored a triple and an error). Fritton & Dudan remain sluggish. I'd go as far to say that Dudan was non-competitive. Fritton was good enough to get out of his start only allowing 3 but committed his own error to blow his line up even further.
The roster 1-9 was clearly built to peak late with the youth at play. I'm struggling to see where that peak is going to come from.
With a 10-3 loss to Coastal Carolina, No. 12 @NCStateBaseball went winless at the Jax Baseball Classic.

This is what we feared, bats wouldn't live up to the hype. It is still early but feels like there are just too many options and none of the combinations have worked.
Sosa and Hogue are slumping and they are two guys we were banking on, hopefully they turn things around.
Defense is very bad. Big big drop off at catcher from what we have been used to.
Is Lyons hurt or just not nearly as good as we thought? Don't know if he has had a single appearance yet.

Looks like we have another case of the preseason overhype machine. We could've all made a lot of money betting against what the boys in green tell us about a team. Fortunately, women's bball has been good, but this has been the year of oversell and under deliver. Obviously, still a ton of season left, but not looking good so far.

Only prediction I posted here was that UVA would win the league, and we would finish somewhere in the top 7. And that our pitching could carry us as far as we want to go if the offense can score.
Point me to the excuses? We can talk ball all you want. Don't play a conference game for another 3 weeks

Yeah, kinda seems like our portal class is a lot like basketball. JAG city. (still early)Jtilley said:

It is one weekend - baseball is a funny sport and sometimes a few line up tweaks changes everything

Of the new guys I think Fraasman and Head are going to be really good players and need to be slotted towards the top of the lineup. Decriscio is one of the only guys consistently hitting the ball hard and that's not surprising given that he's played the most by far of anyone else on the team.ClePack said:Yeah, kinda seems like our portal class is a lot like basketball.

That was the conversation during portal time, and I think discussed pretty fairly. Do you swing for the highly recruited, under-utilized players like Jaros & Ossenfort? Or do you try get lucky with another old guy who maybe hasn't performed to the top of his potential but played a bunch of baseball? That's why we have to wait and see, but I'm with you in that right now it's pretty hard to see.
State's best teams have traditionally come out of the blocks slow and then kicked it into high gear the last 2-3 months. 2019 started 19-0 and ended up ranked #1, didn't host. 0-2 in Greenville.
2021 had the 1-8 conference start + a loss to UNCG and should've won the title. Weird how it shakes out and hard to take too much early. Need some leaders to emerge
