I actually went to this game. Left at the bottom of the 5th. We were down 4-1 and it was COLD out there. Glad to see we made a comeback!

I was at the doubleheader yesterday against Northeastern...sat with some of the parents of the players...
Conversation about the stadium came up...
I believe A&T is pushing hard to finish up the baseball stadium but let me say...they need to push harder and get it done sooner than later...
There was a lot of home cooking with the umpires yesterday...I'll say that.
And the setup of Northeastern's Baseball Field is nice...it's literally in the middle of a neighborhood in Brookline, Mass...I'll post some pictures later.

We need real College pitching & less of serber's high school JV guys from Catawba Valley Community College.
If we are to compete in the CAA, Hall MUST play the BEST 9, which he clearly is NOT doing.
Did I mention our pitching???

If someone should play more, someone should play less...Who? ... Yes it would be nice to have better pitching but I would love to hear the coach Hall recruiting discussion when we bring a player and family here for a visit and he says Elon-UNCG Campbell - NCAT are my top 4 ... Then they walk into Memorial stadium

Did I mention our pitching??? SMH Who is not getting playing time? Watch the Aggies v. UNC game. Our JV pitching & lack of consistent extra base hit potential will be obvious. Those things & the fact that our players look like a high school team compared to the teams we play. Do the other teams have access to the weight room or is it solely for football team use? Sheesh!

In most athletic endeavors, when one isn't producing, it's next man up and they sit until they figure things out. Not so in baseball. We are getting NO PRODUCTION from the bottom of the lineup, and it's time for Ash, Roane, Dalton, and Espinal to sit.
Espinal sat the final game vs Northeastern, Allowing Maynard to return to his natural position at 3rd base.
In the best-case scenario, it would not hurt if Ben tried:
C-C Brown 1b-Hennings, although the CAA has him scouted well and will shift to defend his inability to pull the ball because he DROPS HIS HANDS WHEN HE LOADS EVERYTIME! 75% of his contract is up the middle/right side. 2b-Open up the competition and move Williams to SS. SS-Tre Williams. Lots of upside with this kid. He needs to button up his jersey and chill with the green/blue/red/orange/pink hair, though. Roane isn't giving us anything offensively. 3b-Maynard. Needs to cut down on the K's, though. LF-Brantley or Chris Moss and move Brantley to... CF-Open it up. We aren't getting ANYTHING out of Ash offensively. Brantley can play CF, however. RF-C. Jackson DH-Chet Sikes/Michael Logan/Nick Lundquist
Our pitching...Oh my. Look at the roster and you'll see 18-19 arms, but the same ones pitch nightly. If I see Jake Delisi strut out there again complete with his 84 MPH fastball, I'm going to start posting in Spanish.
The squad should play this season with a serious chip on their shoulder. Just as how the NCAA makes it routine to seed HBCUs dead last in everything, we were picked last in the CAA on the strength of our DREADFUL performance in the Big South last spring.
Ben HAS to address the lack of quality arms in order to be competitive in the CAA. I'm convinced that if the MEAC didn't go the HBCU route and stop sponsoring baseball, the Aggies would win the league (IF FAMU and B-CU aren't in it). This isn't the case, and CAA teams are going to hit our pitchers like BP pitchers.
We're trailing 5-3 to UNC in the 8th, and if you've been watching, the long ball got us. UNC is having trouble adjusting to the off-speed stuff our guys are serving, seeing 85mph fastballs when they're accustomed to 92+.

Forbes mixed his lineup & threw some midweek guys with some weekend guys. Ben did his usual JV pitching & 1 for 20 slump guys. I just want to know why 2/3 of the guys on the roster listed as pitchers haven't thrown a single pitch YET this season... Note to Coach Hall: There are plenty of baseball playing jucos in NC other than Catawba Valley! Get some college-ready arms from Louisburg, Southeastern, Pitt, Wake Tech, Rockingham, & Guilford Tech!
