Most on here realized we don't have enough hitting

Ability to win unless we score on some homers. No homeruns and six hits = loss in illegal baseball even with great pitching

We need two more productive bats in our lineup.

The bottom of our lineup is hard to watch at times. 6-9 hitters leave a lot to be desired.

Yep. We don’t have a DH. Most teams have a DH. Now that’s no guarantee that dh gets a hit but we have no one that comes anywhere close to hitting 300... and no one with power. Monte ‘s been looking for one all season that could step up and be one consistently. Why he thinks that can be bird I’m not sure- maybe cause his parents come to all the games, who knows.

Actually it’s truly amazing we were able to win as many games as we did with the poor, inconsistent hitting. Anyone ever won 46 and hit around 250 as a team?

Very true statement and I’d have to say that the number of teams that have would be very very few. Or they had one heck of a pitching rotation.

Monte is a fine coach, but he actually is still learning! He doesn’t like “small ball,” however he could learn from other coaches how to teach using it to get a timely hit when needed! Bunts are fine, but only in certain situations.
Clemson has won a record fifteen one run games!! Last night leaving runners in scoring position bit us badly. Once again we not survive our own regional, but hopefully Monte and his staff can retain and recruit enough solid pitching and excellent hitters to product next year. Like Dabo built his football program, Monte is slowly constructing his. I hope he hears fans concerns, as well as, learns hard lessons of his own to figure it all out for his future at Clemson.
Go Tigers!

My typing got ahead of my sleep deprived brain in my previous post! We will quite lucky if we survive our regional, but we cannot rely solely upon pitching and defense to win in pressure filled games. We lack, as others said, a solid DH, but we need at least two more hitters who grasp fundamentals of patient hitting like Beer. We also lack a great starting pitcher who can dominate.
Once we get those needs met Clemson will be in a position to really sustain winning.
Go Tigers!

Patient hitting is not our problem! We have been too patient! How many times have we been called out standing there with the bat on the shoulder? Need to be more aggressive like we came out last night! We were swinging at the first pitch, getting hits - not standing there watching good early pitches go by.

Monte is learning and I like him. It’s all in the recruiting. Unbelievable that both of leggett coaches have gone on to build powerhouses and both have won national championships. Vandy has the #1 recruiting class coming in next year.
One thing we don’t hear much about around here is how is Monte recruiting. Yeah, we’ll get a little blurb here or there about a baseball recruit but not really about rankings and stuff.

This board is out of control. Clemson is extremely fortunate to have Monte as their coach. The coots would take him in a heartbeat. He turned down Arizona state the year before he came to Clemson. Our recruiting is just fine. Very good as a matter of fact. We got a couple guys that may get drafted so we got to watch those guys. Google is a really good tool. You can look up things there before making yourself look like a complete a$$ on the internet. Vandy should be great every year. They have a foundation that gives money to their players on top of their scholarship money. You think it is cheap to go to vandy. Our program will continue to get stronger as long as Monte is here. Even without the support of the pathetic group of so called fans that claim to know more about baseball than a staff that is paid a lot of money to do it. Very sad that crump allows people on this board to talk about our players and coaches the way they do. Very sad.

I think that’s what makes it worse. Two former assistants have gone elsewhere and won championships. Meanwhile..........same stuff.
At least Monte is beating the dirtpeckers.

Not sure which year it was. Just hate to see Clemson guys having ultimate success while we struggle. Top 20 baseball team isn’t bad. I just have higher expectations. Maybe next year we can get a 2 seed and try our hand elsewhere.

Yep! I think a 232 team batting average says it all.
