[QUOTE="MountaineerWV, post: 132425513, member: 1763401"] Baseball is 100% a game of streaks. Hot streaks and cold streaks. Look at Tennessee. They started out 5-10 in SEC play. Dropped from top 5 in the nation to out of the polls. Finished up 11-4 in the conference, but lost in the opening round of the SEC tourney to Texas A&M, which jumpstarted their hot streak as well. They started out 1-5 in conference, then only lost 2 other series in conference play the rest of the way. Now, Tennessee is going to host a super regional and Texas A&M is one win away (up 4-2 early) from going to a super regional. And on the other side was WVU, who hit a hot streak from April to early May. Rising up to #6 in the polls. Then the Texas series, followed by 2-and-out in the Big 12, to the Lexington regional. WVU didn't get that groove back they had earlier in the year. What WVU needs next year is to improve the pitching staff as a whole. We had two guys in our weekend rotation that were 81-85 mph, and in today's baseball, that just isn't going to win big games consistently. [/QUOTE]
