Well, let's make the Dawg fans cry their way out of the stadium!

I'm shocked. Usually these decisions don't go our way. How many people does J Batt know on the committee?

Looking at the D1Baseball scores today, it looks like Youngstown State lost to Northern Kentucky 23-5 today in the Horizon League Championship. The fact that Youngstown State was even in the Horizon League Championship blows my mind, as they are noted as being 16-44, and 9-21 in the Horizon...

So you're saying we're clearly on the peak of the bubble and could slide down either way? Sounds about right.

gtbeak, I believe your last sentence is correct. I believe all 3 teams would need to have played each other for head to head to matter. After that, I believe it is common opponents between the 3 teams. In the case you note above, by my accounting those would be UNC, Virginia, Miami, and BC...

Fred, I agree. MLB has a lot more eyes and experience that can notice what may or may not work for a given pitcher. I've brought up Mike Vasil from UVA before. Highly rated recruit out of high school, went to UVA and they tried to change his pitching style. Had an underwhelming career at UVA...

I'm looking at the ACC standings, and am scratching my head. I figured we'd be an 8, 9, 10 seed in the ACC tournament. But if you really look at the standings and the games left to be played, we have a legitimate shot to get to a #3 or #4, unless I'm just delerious. I had the teams with the...

I agree with this. I saw it when I was a grad student at Tech. It was the 1999 season when we had freshmen Victor Menocal, Mark Teixeira, Richard Lewis, Wes Rynders, Steve Kelly, Rhett Parrott, and Kevin Cameron, among others. That was the first year we were not selected to the NCAA tournament...

I had no idea that there was a schedule change. So after a Friday at work followed by beers with friends and colleagues/retired colleagues, I will surely take a split against #4 Clemson, even though I was looking forward to listening to GT baseball. Looks like we're now up to #48 in Warren...

I believe we're #8 in the ACC at the moment, pending Louisville's game against Clemson. Just need to keep winning. I'm not afraid of playing #1 in the ACC. We can beat them. Give us that opportunity!

Didn't even realize that it was a 1 hitter until you mentioned it. Very well played ballgame except for baserunning. Didn't hurt us today, but can't have those mistakes in a close game.

Do whatever we need to do to win tomorrow. Nuke's Caveman Baseball is option #1.

For me, it's not a tough decision. Go on contact and make the fielder make the play at home or give up the run and try for the DP. Throwing home is not a routine play. The fielder has to make a good throw, and the catcher has to catch it and make the tag. Sounds easy, but when you force players...

I would say that it was never a "disaster" loss for me, as Northeastern was a top 25 ranked team at the beginning of the season, and was a quality team when we played them. I suspect the "disaster" part from some fans were the games surrounding that game. My only point was that it is another...

We're not on that list because we lost to Northeastern 7-0 in Atlanta in early March. So...

D1Baseball's Field of 64 Projections had: LAST FOUR IN: Georgia Tech, Illinois, Texas, Louisiana Tech FIRST FOUR OUT: Xavier, TCU, Creighton, Ole Miss We've now made last 4 in. Need to keep winning.

I don't give a s#!t about win percentages that may be based on prior games. Just win your next game. If you do that, you're in control. WIN YOUR NEXT GAME. That is all GT needs to focus on.

We used to do this. I recall home and home series against UCLA when I was in graduate school, as well as tournaments against highly ranked teams such as Rice & Nebraska one year when both teams had pitchers with first round draft talent, Coastal Carolina and South Carolina in Myrtle Beach when...

Warren Nolan RPI up to 50. +11 since Sunday. Need to keep winning, and have the teams we've beaten keep winning, i.e. NC State, Virginia, VT...

I agree, but I maxed out my baseball skills and competence in little league... I think you have to force the infielder to make the play at home, rather than giving them a potential double play opportunity.
