This last weekend was rough. Happy to be occupied; I wasn't able to watch a minute of baseball for the first weekend all year. I took a break from reading my favorite message board until now. Looking forward, the RPI Needs Report paints a clear picture. Top 45: 2 wins Top 30: 3 wins Top 16: 6...

I imagine we'll see Huff or Grissom start today? Good to know we still have Zach at full rest.

In addition. I consider both those teams locks for hosts. But 5-1 vs top 5 teams and the number 2 SOS, potentially with a top-16 RPI is a strong resume.

That, and the big wins. We swept VT and won the series vs the mutts. The record doesn't necessarily shine, but the big wins do.

We have the talent to hang with anyone. Depth, maybe not so much. But I won't go into any game feeling like we don't have a shot. I don't think we'll be getting one of the top 4 seeds in the ACC tourney. But we are in position to finish strong and be in consideration for a host. That's fun.

I don't see how a team with a conference record that far below .500 realistically makes the post season.

I forget that the class designations take COVID into account. But these kids played like 20 games in 2020. Hopefully he sees some value in another season of development. Regardless, it's been fun.

What a comeback. I can't help but feel like Compton is the underclassmen version of Parada/Jenkins. I hope we're seeing him batting around .500 next season as he takes the reigns!

I don't think the two low pitch counts in midweek starts are a great indicator. We've often used those games to test a lot of pitchers out, not see how long a guy can go. Otherwise, I'm with you. If we can avoid the big inning, where everything seems to snowball, I like us to take the series...

Excited to see the projection. Hosting would be awesome. Having said that, Vandy might be one of the worst 2-seeds available. Geographically, we're destined to face an underrated 2-seed every time we host. But thats a rough draw.

Didn't Zack pitch like 3 innings on Friday?

All three of those upsets were clinched series today. Duke over the Irish, Hokies over Miami, and FSU over Lville.

A grounder to third that bounced off the base. Would have been as textbook as it gets except for a while bounce.

I mean, that's what the RPI is. It's an objective evaluation of your record, the teams you've played, and the implied strength of your record. It is NOT a perfect measure of which teams are better than others. It is but one metric used to evaluate a team's resume. Arkansas has a good record...

Heard on that. I've been a Tech fan long enough to not count on anything. I'm more just identifying the tiers of opponent difficulty. I think Miami and UNC are the best teams remaining on our schedule, but nothing is a gimme.

I tend to agree, I think 9-6 means our goals are still achievable. We have two tougher series left, @UNC and vs MIA. I think we have to go 3-3 at a minimum in those two series. Then the other three (v DUKE, @CLEM, @PITT) are the more manageable of the schedule. 6-3 would be the minimum here...

Think we sneak back in to the rankings? A lot of ranked teams had bad weeks.

Great team win. Heck of a start from Grissom, coupled with the offense we expect.

I believe Wiley mentioned that Hall would use Grissom yesterday if it meant we could win the series. Otherwise he would save him for today's start.
