Agonizing to see us bunting with men on 1st/2nd, 0 outs, down 4. It’s 2023.
The Citadel, whose coaching staff I’m familiar with, is forward thinking with high baseball IQs—they must be rejoicing to see us give away outs.
We score two runs in that inning, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s an objectively stupid move. This offense is the best thing about our team, why take the bat out of anyone’s hands. Let’s have the HC coaching staff take a statistics class to get them up to speed.
Crusaders trail 7-5, bottom 6.

With rain forecasted Sunday, playing a DH tomorrow. Lehigh took 2 of 3 from citadel earlier this year. Could be somewhat of a barometer for Patriot League play.

Based on some research with others, seems the pitching staff is really hit hard with injuries. Overall, the team appears to be stronger than last year's top-to-bottom offensively and defensively. The pitching staff just needs to eliminate those 5 run innings. The past three games there has been one or two big innings for our opponents and that is the difference. Benton has been a huge find out of the blue. I think this team is going to make some noise in the Patriot League. If the coaching staff could stop giving away a number of free outs every game that could help as well. Maybe if the team had full equipment/bags with HC logos it would build out the esprit de corps, instead of looking like a rag-bag group of HS students.

If they can get some pitching, I agree, they could make some noise in the PL. Without pitching, they are only going to win so many games by outslugging the other team. |

this team is 100% reflection of the coaching staff. They are perfectly getting the results they are made for, and the coaches set the tone. This team has talent, but no leadership. I don't think anyone on the staff would be hired for the top travel programs 13U- 17U in Mass, they would not make the cut. Sp many errors and in ability to close out an inning is really hard to watch. Great video on ESPN + for this series, that was fun to watch.
