Making the Case: Breaking down Clemson's NCAA Tournament chances
Did Clemson’s baseball team do enough in the ACC Tournament and over the last two weeks of the season to earn an invitation to the NCAA Tournament? It will be close, and a lot will likely depend on what happens in other conference tournaments across the country. TigerNet sits down with Aaron Fitt of D1Baseball.com to talk about the Tigers and get an outsiders' view of the program. Full Story » |

reminds me of watching a football game between two bad teams with two mediocre coaches, but to hear the announcers talk you'd think you were watching Bear Bryant and Bama vs. Tom Osborn and Nebraska.
Here's the reality, Clemson baseball has been in a slow decline since Jack got here. His best 3 year stretch were his first three. The last 10 years things were obviously trending down and the last 5 years have been brutal. If there is a stat for bases loaded with 0 or 1 out but can't score we are probably number one. Terrible base running, bad fielding. Our last two loses are a perfect example of the sad state of fundamentals and lack of clutch hitting (confidence) at the plate. We will NEVER win a CWS with Jack. He has the wrong personality.
That "this is only because USC won the CWS" is BS. That certainly doesn't help, but the product Jack has put on the field the past 5 years is totally unacceptable. I don't look at the last 6 games or any one season. I look at each season and the trend. That guy is like TNT pumpers, Jack gets a pass because the team showed some life and pride at the end of the worst season in over 35 years and worst 3 years in over 40 years.
It's not only time for Jack to go, but 5 years past due.

Very well said and is the truth. Enough is enough. It is past time Jack Leggett to go. If the downward trend continues, Tiger Baseball will be the bottom dwellers of the ACC. There are.plenty of young Coaches out there that would do an excellent job leading the Tigers. Clean house top to bottom and let the new.Head Coach build his own staff and.support him in recruiting. It may take next season to turn it around, but Clemson Baseball is in trouble. There is a serious problem with depth, entirety to many errors and poor performance in clutch situations. This falls square on the shoulders of Jack Leggett and his staff. Looking at the loss yesterday, there was all of the above mentioned problems that have showed up in alot of games this season and his lackadaisical mindset and talk about " You don't want to play Clemson right now" is just that, talk. It is past time for a change, and all the money being spent on baseball facilities is not going to make anything better til a change is made at Head Coach. GO TIGERS!!!

Jack's Coaching

I am not a "Jack hater" by any means, but I expect more from him and the team than we have been getting. Leading the ACC in errors is terrible, and so is being so inconsistent and/or unfocused during mid-week games. One of Dabo's and the football team's best stats over the past few years is not losing to teams that they are supposed to beat. I understand that some of these lesser known baseball teams are better these days, but losing to virtually every other baseball team in SC this year is pretty bad. Had that not been the case, this discussion about barely making it into the NCAA tournament would not even be happening--we would definitely be in...

the reason for the mid week loses is no depth at pitching

which is due to recruiting. It is very hard to recruit with talk of being fired.That being said ,the drop started with yesrs of under preforming & getting out coached . It is the fault of the old & new AD for not replacing JL before it can down to this

I saw a lot of issues with the team...pitching and defense. We had offense a little to late. Could not get the guys to home plate. Where the blame is I should not say. Will leave it to those who know more than I do.
Just hope these guys will be picked and they can play up to what I know they are capable. Believe in yourselves and each other...pick each the other up when he is down...be there for each other. Go Tigers!!!!!!!

I believe UNC-W won the Colonial Conference tournament and the Conference USA final will be between UAB and Fla International. UNC-W may have gotten in anyway but the Conference USA winner will definitely be a bid-stealer.
