RE: 2020 Tribe Baseball
Awful opening four games.
Team batting average is .229 versus .439 for our opponents. We have just one home run, and have struck out 54
times in four games...that's more than 12 times a game!
Big question is whether it's a hitting slump or the way we're going to hit.
Team era is 6.35 runs per game while opponent hurlers have a 1.85 runs per game against us. And opponent batters are hitting .429. Ouch!
Granted we were playing top 25 teams, but this is a disappointing start to say the least. Hopefully three home games this weekend will get us back on track.

You have to wait until about 20 games to draw real conclusions.

RE: 2020 Tribe Baseball
IMO the team batting average is and will be an ongoing issue. I realize we faced 2 top 25 teams and it is early, however, the program does not have/instill a hitting approach and in game adjustments from the coaches do not seem to exist. Unless the players can find ways to self correct, or assist each other, I fear we will again struggle in this department.....

I thought they put in some type of filming and swing tracking technology in the off season.

Due to the predicted inclement weather to hit the Williamsburg area early Friday morning, William & Mary Baseball's home opener on Friday will be postponed. There will be a double header played on Saturday against Farleigh Dickinson with game 3 on Sunday. https://t.co/QtSrlPyAZd

RE: 2020 Tribe Baseball
According to their IG account they have swing trackers. So, some technology to help analyze the swings if they are actually using it effectively.
No formal video or video review that I have ever seen or heard of. I do not believe they have a team approach to hitting nor have I ever seen any productive in game corrections.
Possibly most importantly, I do not think they address the mental side of hitting. Hence, one of the lowest, if not the lowest team batting average in the CAA. Topped off with a huge K precentage.

Wow, what an offensive bounceback...nothing like home games.
Chis Farrell hurled five more innings of shutout baseball yesterday...he's yet to give up a run in two starts.

Nothing like playing FDU instead of ECU.

RE: 2020 Tribe Baseball
Attended yesterday’s first game and today’s game.
I like our pitching and defense.
Not sure if the offense will enable the team to make the off-season, but it is certainly good enough against average competition.
Looking forward to a fun year!

Another big hitting day, supplemented with effective pitching, to give us a resounding 9-2 win.
Racquet had two triples. At UVA on Tuesday.

RE: 2020 Tribe Baseball
Racquet had a double, three triples, and a home run, and seven RBI for the series. That's pretty good stuff.
The schedule is loaded with a bunch of big name teams and a bunch of dreck early on. Games against GW, Georgetown, and George Mason should give us a sense of where we are early on given their conferences. Can't get too down when we play UVA, Tech, and WVU (home), just like we can't get giddy with Wagner, UMASS Lowell, and Merrimack. The schedule has a lot of really good opponents for mid-week games including Richmond, VCU (home and home), ODU, Maryland (home and home). Then we play Clemson during our bye week. Nice schedule.

Seven unearned runs cost the Tribe a big win.
