Re: TNET: Gators take game one, push Tigers' season to the brink

For whatever the reason is, our guys are having a hard time understanding that if they don't swing at some of the good pitches, those runner on base are going to be still standing there when the inning is over. For some reason our batters are chasing after pitches that are almost impossible to hit, and when they make a connection, they are fouled out of play, tipped, or popped up.

I wonder how many base runners this team has left stranded throughout this entire season. I would almost be willing to bet that it's more than any other team in ACC.

Toward the last month of the season, I was feeling like this could be the year that we went back to Omaha with a really good chance at winning the 2024 baseball Natty, but it seems like our team has lost their focus bc they are chasing after way too many bad pitches and letting the best pitches just hit the catcher's mitt while leaving base runner stranded. They have one more chance to give every pitch a good look and start swinging at only good pitches, or they will be putting the bats, balls, and gloves up tomorrow bc they want get another chance to play until next season.

Let go Tigers and keep your eyes on the ball and only swing at hittable pitches and stop chasing after pitches that are almost impossible to hit, and that's what they've been doing with runners on base, they are chasing after really bad pitches leaving to many base runners stranded...
