I think he wants the wins. They're probably on the cusp of a top-8, and losing to us in game 3 of a series they've already won probably doesn't hurt them in the big picture.

Im watching now on ESPN's website while working. Don't know if it's different on their app, but it works fine in the browser.

We did it a couple times last night. I remember being frustrated, but the strike zone was wildly inconsistent so I give a little grace. I checked the box score for details, both were full counts. Finateri's last batter was walking Tibbs with the bases empty, down 4-2 at the time. Then Dawson...

Agreed, D1baseball is the best resource out there. Mostly what I mean is I'm not sure what a stolen bid in the colonial would actually be. Who's presumed to win? If they don't, does the frontrunner get a bid anyway, or was that a conference that only gets their champ in either way? Whereas we...

Even if we consider them an opponent similar to our talent level, it's still in Tallahassee. I'd love a series win but I'll be happy with 1 here. Just get to the post season.

I'd appreciate this list. I generally keep up with the ACC and SEC.

Our RPI teams sheet breaks down our record. Q1: 8-10 Q2: 5-3 Q3: 7-5 Q4: 10-1 If you look at D1 baseball's 'last 4 in' it's head and shoulders above the other bubble teams. They have Q1 records like 3-8, or 2-2. I think this will be the kind of thing that's noticed by the committee.

Here's the series record vs overall record. We certainly stand out as an outlier. FSU and NCSU might both sneak in as top-4 seeds because of a cancelled game. Clemson - 7-2 (17-10) FSU - 5-3-1 (15-11) NCSU - 6-2-1 (15-11) Wake - 5-4 (15-12) Lville - 3-6 (13-14) ND - 4-5 (9-18) BC - 2-7...

I agree in principle - I do think overall ACC records are weighted differently, favoring the series record. Remember in 2019, we were like 20-10 or something, but undefeated in ACC series and got the #3 overall seed? That concept would suggest 6-4 in ACC series props up the .500 record a bit.

Warren Nolans predictions have us beating Mercer and winning one vs FSU. Puts us at 43 RPI. Is that enough?

With a win today, we'll hold the tiebreaker over every coastal team except Carolina. When the standings are this tight, that's a big deal!

The fact that we could roll into the tournament with one of the top 4 seeds is nuts. It's good to be reminded of the bigger picture - lots of imperfect teams.

That's one. Just need 3 more wins in 6 more games. Happy to take advantage of their pitching situation.

I'm not disagreeing, but also, record in ACC series, by day (well, by game. Double headers and Easter weekend aside). Friday: 3-5 Saturday: 4-4 Sunday: 5-3

Auburn played well. They robbed us of two 2-run HRs over the wall. They made a hell of a throw at home and caught Burress napping. We also had a couple of botched plays that should have ended innings but led to runs. Hats off to their outfield. It made the difference. But I'm not sure I'd...
