    IMO, if we are going to be able to make any sort of run over the next month, we've got to be able to add Hill back into our list of trusted pitchers. We need that kind of potential elite stuff he brings against these high level teams. Good sign today.

    It's a little bit of semantics. If you have a true ESPN+ subscription, you can watch all the ACCNX games. You can also watch ACCNX games with a cable subscription by providing your credentials on the ESPN app login. This game is only available to ESPN+ subscribers so if you just use the cable...
  3. 2024 Season

    For those of you that have ESPN+, here is an interesting (and sobering) article that lists the top players for the 2024 draft. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/38035769/way-too-early-2024-mlb-draft-rankings-kiley-mcdaniel-top-50-prospects In summary, there are no GT players or...
  4. Pitching Coach Hired

    https://ua_ftp.sidearmsports.com/custompages/sports/m-basebl/stats/2009-2010/bama64.html Pitched against us in one of the many postseason games that should be stricken from our memories.
  5. ACC Baseball - 2023

    Louisville can catch us with an unlikely sweep and we get swept. However, even if we get swept, with NC St and Pitt playing each other and currently behind us, there is no way that both could pass us next weekend so it appears to me we are in the ACC Tourney. The final spot would likely come...
  6. Should Hall Retire? (Poll)

    Not entirely related to this discussion, but your comment made me think of this. My son is just an average kid in the local park league. However, his team's best pitcher certainly seems like he could be special. Mom played college softball, dad played college baseball. The ball just sounds...
  7. Should Hall Retire? (Poll)

    It really hits home when I see those pitching recruits how different reality has turned out to be from what we hoped. Go back to summer of 2021. If you had projected our weekend rotation back then for 2023, things looked outstanding. You'd have Grissom as a junior plus 3 recruits rated 10 in PG...
  8. Virginia Tech, Baseball

    Schmolke, TBA, TBA are the pitchers per the Game Notes.
  9. 2022-23 Season

    I thought I'd pose a question on the positives and negatives so far in the season just to see where people's thoughts are (and not devolve into a never ending discussion on firing CDH and CDB as it seems like every baseball discussion turns into on other GT boards): Positives: -offense better...
  10. uGag, Baseball

    Seems like you'd want somebody with some starting experience so I would guess Carwile and then Finateri. Whoever it is, you'd be happy if they got 4 innings.
  11. 2022-2023 Roster

    Always fun to play this game. Here's the big picture from my standpoint. Of course this doesn't take into account people developing more than we've seen from them before or freshmen that surprise when they get to campus. Also, I will not list people like Bartnicki, Crawford, Roedig that may...
  12. 2022 MLB Draft

    On Wheat, I read a Cubs-specific article saying they don't expect to sign all 20 draftees, but will probably get at least 18. Right now, they have only signed 2 of the 11-20 round picks, neither for over 125K. They haven't saved a lot from the first 10 rounds so far and still have to sign their...
  13. 2022 MLB Draft

    It feels like to me the Covid eligibility made little difference at this point as the vast majority of 3rd year players got drafted and left, even with 2 years of eligibility left. I guess the “age penalty” starts to weigh in and counteract that extra eligibility. Perhaps that played a role in...
  14. Are we getting our $$$ worth out of Danny Borrell?

    This is actually a great example of what I’ve been thinking about. It feels like we get focused on these high talents that are really more of projects in college baseball with high ceilings down the road (Maxwell and Grissom as examples). They come in with ups and downs and then are gone off to...
  15. Who is leaving? Who is staying?

    Logically, i feel like Grissom and Borden could dramatically improve their stock with another year. But the fact they got drafted makes me feel like a deal is in place. Grissom really surprises me. Unless he’s able to get a bonus like a 5th/6th rounder, seems like he wouldve come back with 2...
