We need an updated thread title. This one makes me cringe every time I open the boards and I’m already cringing enough watching these home runs.
Not entirely. We are teetering on the brink of not even making the postseason at this point.Obviously disappointing to lose all of these ACC weekends against ranked opponents with all of the high praise going into the season. However, college baseball is all about who is hot at the end of the season. Hopefully wake stops making it harder on themselves and at least plays well enough to host a regional.

Does Seaver King ever work the count? Geez
I don’t think 6 homers playing half your games in this park is mind blowing. My point was we needed base runners. To your point though, he is not our biggest offensive concern.Who really cares? He's hits for average and power. That's all that really matters. He's the least of our worries on offense

To be fair, last year the team was in auto pilot most of the way. He assembled a fantastic team so credit to him but his main job last year was to not screw things up. He has underachieved far more times than he has overachievedJust my 2 cents here but I'm for giving Walter a break here. He has taken us further in the NCAA'S than any of our other coaches. I don't know how you can blame him for the fact that our returning players predicated to be high draft choices have absolutely failed to deliver, maybe they were busy reading their press clippings. From what I've seen, he seems to be trying different line-ups to rectify the situation. Is he perfect ? No but the debacle this season rests squarely on the players he depended on. As far as I know he has never pitched an inning or had an at bat this year.
Drives me nuts when fans use similar wording like your last sentence. So why the fuck is he getting paid handsomely if it’s all on the players?Just my 2 cents here but I'm for giving Walter a break here.

Oh well, at least the weather forecast is good.

Sorry if I offended you, the boards are designed for respectful discussions for people with different opinions. didn't mean for my last sentence sounded flippant. Since we seem to be on opposite sides of this discussion, what is your opinion of what he should be doing differently?Drives me nuts when fans use similar wording like your last sentence.

Had a hole fan tell me tonight that we are cursed because we didn't retire Lowder's jersey number and gave it to a freshman. I laughed it off, but now I think he might be on to something.better?
