[QUOTE="East Coast, post: 3278280, member: 625"] I went onto the NCAA site and noticed our team ERA, while over 5, is sitting at about 80th nationally, so while not great, it's above average. We are also scoring over 7 runs game, which you would hope is fine. What we are missing are the elite pitchers we are used to, as our upper classmen just have not cut it. Scoring is way high nationwide. This tells me that some combination of the following is happening. 1) The ball is juiced. While I have no proof of this, the way the balls are flying out just makes me think it is true. 2) Hitters may have adjusted to the pitch clock better than pitchers. 3) Blue is squeezing the pitchers. Someone else who follows more closely would have to confirm this. 4) There is an overall shortage of quality pitching in college baseball. This has been trending for years, mostly I think because the best athletes are not choosing baseball as often as in the past. So maybe everything is not as dire as I first thought. If just 2 or 3 pitchers can step up this last part of the year we would be a very dangerous team. [/QUOTE]
