it sounds like it really comes down to the two Commonwealth coaches, which in itself is pretty cool. One team has essentially the exact team from a year ago that finished 12th out of 13 teams and this year moved up 6 spots while the other added a freshman pitcher who is arguably one of the top 2 in the country to a team who already has an All-American pitcher plus had 4 players on the preseason All-ACC team. Is it harder to coach a team where you can pencil in W's due to your pitching and talent or is it a better coaching job when you have to use less talent including having to use 8 pitchers throughout the entire year? I'd say that those on this board who have coached know that putting Emma or Keely on your lineup card makes you feel pretty good about your chances to win. The other coach knew that they will have to scratch and claw all 50 games because you don't know what you're going to get. Just some thoughts to go with the pre-season predictions.
