We are a legit Top 20 team
Mar 31, 2019, 9:37 PM
|

Swept UNCheat , swept VT and we've lost only two series ( ND and Coots ) .
If we brain-beat UGA and Louisville this next week or so I say we're Top 10 .
Younguns are gonna round into form and our hitting is an actual strength right now .
Agree or not ?

Should have been ranked this week. D1 will have us around 20 this week. Games get tougher, but I think Monte has the Tigers playing pretty good.

I like the makeup of this squad . Kid's look confident in tough situations , we've got some really good looking , solid if unspectacular pitching and our bullpen has been very good .

The Tigers are as good as this time last year as far as wins and losses. Better at stealing bases, hitting and slugging %, but committing many more errors and slightly less fielding %. If the Tigers continued to improve as they mature through this season, they could easily be a top 10 team by the end of the season.
Go Tigers!! Remember, the most important game of the season is always the next game and as a team anything is possible.

This does seem like a better 'team' than the last few years

More balanced hitting (HR mixed with manufacturing runs), fielding is typically solid. A few play-makers, and some good starting pitching. If we can build more quality depth pitching and clean-up the occasional fielding snafu (and get Meredith back), we'll be in fine shape by post-season

I hate to say wait till next year but this young team will really be strong next year. But, as you have said, they are getting better every week this year.

Oh yeah I am not thinking we'll be in Omaha ... although baseball is a funny game and I think Monte has a nice squad around him now ... winning the ACC tournament isn't too far fetched , maybe another host if we win another 18-20 games ?

Listened to every ball and every strike . We’re growing. Monte is figuring out the lineup. Solid top 20. Not top ten yet but our youngsters are gaining more confidence each game. We do have several key injuries which is a darn shame.
6 losses and we had a legit one hit away from winning 4. Just couldn’t get that key hit. We’re still making freshman mistakes playing the ball, base running, throwing that’s actually made a few games closer than should have been.
We’re missing a true closer. Holt can come in throw heat and strike em out but not consistently. Carson keeps em guessing but all seem to struggle with men in scoring position. All this hasn’t hurt us yet but will with tougher competition when we have to win a 2-1 game.
It’s really ashamed that Wilkie is growing too and needs to work on letting his chest protector be his friend. We miss a Okie but make no mistake, he’s growing into a great one and don’t run on him- he’s got a gun!!!!
I love my baseball team. Having so much fun this year listening to them. Can’t believe we’re halfway home. Unless we stagnate- we’re Omaha bound.
Go Tigers! Sorry for the long post.

When you are counting on two freshmen and one sophomore pitcher . you never know what could happen each time they go out. But if they can do what they have been doing, certainly top 15 to top 10 is realistic.

Well it’s tough to say. I feel like one day we’re top 15, the next day we’re the bad news bears
