Theres also a leadership component. If the team respects him, and he's earned the spot, theres something to be said for that. I understand Brown doesn't have the best ERA, but let's not forget the kid has started us off on three ACC series. Won twice, and the loss is when Louisville walked us...

Nice to get the midweek win. Pitching was excellent (18 Ks!) And the offense came to play. This is the kind of start we need to the week.

Not to apply too much pressure, but this is huge.

That is bonkers. Now, this weekend is Thurs-Fri-Sat, so maybe we avoid the Sunday Curse? (But technically the ND game was game 2 of a double header on Saturday, so maybe it isn't the day of the week that is the problem after all...)

You're absolutely right, and 1-3 won't get us there. But from a record standpoint, the weekend series went as expected. On the road against a top-15 team, and we were in it for 23/27 innings. We just ran out of pitching depth. If Compton doesn't get hurt I think we win the series. We need to...

Overall, good line from the pitching staff. Schmolke, Diamant, and Busse looked great.

1-2 on the road against a good team, if the loses are close, still keeps me optimistic. Finishing above .500 in conference play (and ostensibly making the tournament) means holding serve at home, winning each series 2-1, and avoiding the sweep on the road. We'd then need to steal a few - maybe...

I think you're right. I'd say it could just be Hall/Borrell mixing things up for results, but if that were the case we wouldn't have aTBD on Sunday...

We played uGA at Coolray for the Sunday game, no? I watched that one live. It's definitely not a lack of broadcasting capability.

I'm spoiled living out of state, but I've definitely become accustomed to watching any game I want without exception. This is a little annoying.

Agreed. Winning or losing, roster management is part of the game.

Love to see it. These are the series we have to win, and these games are nice to steal.

I know you were just talking about the weekend series, but we were the better team vs Auburn, too. We were two breaths away from being 3-1 this week. Hard to swallow, sure. But I feel pretty good about the trajectory. I'd rather be good in June than March.

Optimistic about Scmolke. Not throwing Busse under the busse, either. Kid had a bad (by his standards) game against a great offense. Regardless of record this week, things are trending up.

This weekend's action is the second of conference play for most teams (Lville and Clemson both played OOC last weekend). No one swept, and no one was swept, so it was a whole lot of 1-2s and 2-1s. No one is too far behind. UVA (3-1) @ NCSU (1-3) - We want the pack to win as many as they can...

That one hurts solely because of the time investment. What a blown game.

gville_jacket, new coach in waiting.

As much as I'd love to see a number next to our name, they're right. We don't really have many big wins to hang our hat on. This week will be an opportunity - a solid OOC vs Auburn and a big time series vs Lville. Honestly, I'm more surprised BC isn't ranked. They just took the series in...

I'll agree with you on a HBP with a thrown strike. If it's in the zone, it should be a strike regardless of whether or not it struck the batter.

Personally, I would not be in favor of automatic balls/strikes. I think a catcher framing a pitch, a pitcher working the zone, and a batter testing the waters in those first couple at bats are all part of the weird traditional quirks of this sport. I liken it to extra time in soccer. Sure you...
