Charlie Wright on Memphis avoids sweep by ECU

Yes, I did notice that our bull pin is thin, but Giles and Burleson might have done as good as or better than the home run pitcher. Did you happen to notice what Memphis did to start hitting our pitchers?? They choaked up on their bats about 2 inches. You can watch the video. Do you not think WSU will notice that? I have been a Pirate since I was 14 years old, I am 74. I have seen these "super" coaches come and go, I just don't won't a great chance to slip away again.

Cliff is the Man on Memphis avoids sweep by ECU

Have you not noticed our bullpen is a little thin, mainly due to two players we put a lot of reliance on being hurt? Cliff and Dan have limits as to what they can do. They are trying to rely on our offense to put us in a chance to win, like yesterday when, even on a bad pitching day, we were one hit from a win.

Charlie Wright on Memphis avoids sweep by ECU

Can I make a simple statement? Godwin has done an outstanding job of teaching these guys to mechanics of baseball. In every one of the one run losses, he has not taken out a pitcher when they have hit a batter, walked two in a row, or had a home run hot off of them. Are we going to keep loosing these close run games over pitching changes? Overall, I think Coach Godwin has done a tremendous job.

Jeff Flowers on Can Pirates repeat history?

Though I’m much younger than Earl I’ve known he and his wife most of my life. My wife and daughters are all Pirates. I used to go to Earl’s store just to talk Pirate stuff. Great article.

George B Rhodes on New crown jewel hovers over ECU’s home turf

Impressive. No one who enrolled in the 1950s would ever have believed that this was possible. The football stadium at that time was 3,000 bleacher seats on each side with a press box of plywood about 10' X 20'. We've come a long ways.

Irish Spectre on Is Houston the second coming of Holtz?

I like the emphasis on the run; you cannot win without it. Hopefully the OL will see an immediate improvement; that was arguably the biggest ECU weakness among many. Also, you don't want to see Ahlers lugging it too much, for health reasons, but in your QB, you also have a very tough and capable fullback.

John L on Is Houston the second coming of Holtz?

Mr. Myatt: Did you forget Pat Dye and Bill Cain? Cain forced out Dye over an ego problem and Ed Emory was hired to send ECU into a tailspin in the late 70's. He was followed by the former coach of the Citadel who did not do much better. Cain soon departed as well.

Dick Denton on Is Houston the second coming of Holtz?

He reminds me more of Pat Dye and I don't think I could pay him a higher compliment.

Days of Yore on Is Houston the second coming of Holtz?

I like what I have heard thus far from Coach Houston regarding his approach -- toughness, running the football, defense. That appears to be the formula for championships (it certainly worked in 2008 and 2009). Good luck to Houston and his staff in rebuilding our once very good football program.

David E Turnage on Talented Ahlers facing learning curve

Excellent article as we now know Taj Deans and Trace Christian were injured and did not play Saturday. Lot of good information about individual players that we appreciate. The offensive line has some youth but it has some depth and it does not concern me. Depth at defensive tackle has me a little concerned especially with the loss of Raequan Purvis and the temporary loss of Chandler Medeiros for most of next season. This staff seems to be able find the right pieces to the puzzle and as they are doing at tight end will find some more defensive tackles. Thanks for the article. David
