i believe we were ranked in the previous three preseason rankings and disappointed each year.
Would say relative to our competition, WF has put more money into the baseball program than any program in the athletic department. WF's pitching lab is as good as any in the country. Not many baseball programs have their own weight-room, and locker room/video facilities that WF has dedicated to the Diamond Deacs. WF has baseball alumni donors that are willing to write checks at any time for almost any reason. Further, the team clearly recruits at high level as WF has had several high draft picks each of the last few seasons. WF has had its Friday night pitcher taken in the 1st round each of the past two seasons. It's not like the fanbase is ragging that WF hasn't made a trip to Omaha; the Deacs should be at least a .500 ACC team and in the field of 64 almost every year, given the resources and the talent. Very frustrating.
Walter has raised much of that money.
Have the starting pitchers for this weekend been released?
I will continue to follow and watch but I also have zero expectations for this team. If we don't at least make the NCAA's then it's time to move on. So much money has been poured into this program that the lack of results is really troubling.
I have a bad feeling Walter will put together a slightly above mediocre season and do just enough to avoid being fired. Wait. We’ve got an AD who had expectations now. I fully expect his firing in 3 months.
