I’m not predicting because there are too many variables, but the Diamond Heels have what it takes.
Just a little more power would make me very confident.

This Team Can Get To Omaha

If the bullpen can continue to be as deep and varied in style, I think they can not only get there, but potentially do some damage.
The only way that happens is if they start hitting with RISP and if we start hitting left-handed pitching more consistently imho! That said, Forbes sure has built a great program. I've sorta moved away from Basketball and Football and enjoy watch the Baseball and Women's Basketball programs more than ever.
It’s still TBD if this team winds up being as strong as our last 2 (that’s a high bar), but with our pitching talent we have the ability to make it to Omaha even if the rest of this season doesn’t go our way and we end up a 2-seed in somebody else’s regional. I say that just to make the point that we absolutely have the talent to get to Omaha, but a lot goes into actually getting there: health, timely hitting, and potentially a lucky bounce or two along the way.
This team has a high ceiling. Timely hitting is a problem at times. That's something that can get better. The biggest concern for me is still outfield defense. After having guys like Honeycutt, Kepley, Cook and Donofrio, it's kind of jarring to see our guys struggle to even get to fly balls that would've been outs for us the last few years. It nearly cost us the BC series. But if the offense can keep improving and finding ways, we can manage it.
I told @TommyAshley a while back, I have come to love Carolina Baseball more than perhaps both of the rev sports. There’s something about it lately that really grabs me. Maybe it’s that the MBB and FB programs are down, maybe it’s because of the time of year, but I absolutely get hooked on Diamond Heels ball.
I think a lot of people are feeling this. I know I am. It all started with going toe to toe with LSU in that regional and coming out on top.
Crazy to think we needed a grand slam to win the first game in that regional.
Just goes to show how hard it is to win a regional and Super.
I do really love this team though. Just depends on how certain guys are playing at the end of the season.
