Other than general ineptitude, anybody have an idea as to why Sellers came in to pitch the 7th and Craig the 8th and 9th?
Throughout the season Craig has been the setup man and Sellers the closer. Just curious as to if their roles had changed. Inept was used to describe the decision not the pitchers and I'm pretty sure they each gave up a run.
People who know way more about college baseball than I do....should we be attempting to manufacture runs the way that our coaching staff insists on doing so?
I've always thought it was dumb as hell to sacrifice an out in pretty much any situation to get a runner to second, especially when we have what seems to be a fair amount of good hitters on the team.
Almost every time we get a runner on first with less than two outs we try to bunt him to second. Seems extremely counterproductive to me.
We had 3 runners picked off 2nd base in the same game? LOL
We will never win in the ACC with the general level of baseball fundamentals we have shown with Walter as our coach.

For the tens of people who still care, Deacs lose in 10 3-2. Led 2-0 into the 8th couldn't hold it. Craig intentionally walked 4 times. Why anybody would pitch to him is a mystery. There is no protection in the lineup and nobody that can hit behind him. Just another in the long list of conference games pissed away by Wake. There is not a single player other than Craig with the balls to step up and make a winning play in crunch time.
Deacsfan27,
Where are you to defend this effort? This team is garbage and has been garbage all season. We got lucky with a few excellent starting pitching performances. Our hitting and anything past two OK starters has been embarrassing. Relief pitching has been abysmal to say the least, our hitting has been beyond embarrassing for scholarship college baseball players. Please come tell some fans that they don't know what they are talking about.
Our success this season was a aberration. We lack the talent to compete in the ACC. The baseball program at wake is just as sad as the basketball program. No future in sight. Miss the days of Greer and the JUCO/ CALI pipeline that used to have us as perennial favorites.
This team is absolutely not garbage, we're top 40 in the RPI of over 200 teams, in what universe is that garbage?
Walter is a heck of a coach and he will have us back to where we want to be soon. Wake fans are absolute masochists about everything. We're comparing ourselves to FSU, Virginia, Clemson, UNC, and State with their scholarship deals as public schools. That's not really realistic. TAG you're being an idiot.
