Interesting video on the new scholarship limits brought about by the lawsuit (see bottom of post). To me it seems like this is going to have an enormous impact on the game starting with the 2026 season. For those not following, the highlights as I understand them... 1) A school can now offer up...

To be fair, most of the pitchers who we are highlighting in this thread also did well at Tech. Grissom is the only one who didn't, and it was clear he had the ability, but he couldn't throw strikes (or pitch inside w/o hitting the batter) as a Jacket. It seems he has figured that part out, so...

Last I checked Stanford and Cal are in the ACC. The graphic seems to be 100% correct. Leave the deep digging for the other side, never dig deep against yourself. This is the lesson the fans of the other conferences have learned. For some reason, we can't seem to learn it.

Or you have a math error or an error in which lines in a table you read from. :) Bummer's ERA in his last 7 appearances is 5.63, and his WHIP is 1.75. If you toss out Saturday's poor performance and take the 7 appearances prior to then, those numbers become 1.93 ERA and 1.18 WHIP.

Minter had just pitched the 7th. Assuming you didn't want to use a pitcher on back-to-back games, the choices were Jackson, Chavez, or Logue. And Chavez had pitched on Friday, so that led to Jackson being used.

Remember when he started at Tech, it seemed to me he was just as likely to miss a 35 yard field wide as he was to hit a 50 yarder. He always had the leg, but the accuracy was another story. It seems he has indeed engineered a great personnel system. Great return on investment!

My understanding is that profits are split 50/50. If they distributed $140M to the ACC, then their profits were about $280M. And that is before adding the higher carriage fees for California and Texas.

That is an area I felt we didn't optimize last year. By my count we were 35 out of 36 in stolen base attempts in conference play + UGa and the NCAA tourney. I'm not saying get thrown out on purpose, but in my mind, if you are successful above 90%, you aren't running enough. Yunger and Green, in...

Trigger warning for Killerbee, I'm about to imply that Wofford is a lower level program again! 😁 <--That sentence was meant to be humorous. No offense to Coach Schulman, but why would we think he would be a head coach in waiting? His resume is that of an assistant coach at Wofford and Yale. If...

Sad news. My prayers are with his family. He was a great pitcher during my time on campus. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/former-mlb-pitcher-doug-creek-dead-at-55/ar-BB1qNdEV

Yeah, as one of the pitchers said in a recent interview, WTTE "I can back it off a little to save wear on my arm, but the result would be that I would be using my arm to swing a hammer and hang drywall, not throwing a baseball".

With all due respect to our coaching staff, I expect he isn't the only one whose not around in 2026.

Thanks, Cincy. I had not seen this. It seems like this would be a seismic step function change to the game, and will make our use of the Hope Scholarship less of a weapon. BTW, anyone with inside info, is Hope still a big advantage for us, or has that changed in recent years? I used to hear it...

Not exactly what this thread was meant to capture, but I didn't know where else to put this. Looks like Wiley will be doing Braves p-b-p for the weekend.

Taking your post step by step.... Rather than look at one game, look at the number of Nielsen appearances and the average viewership. That‘s how value is determined. - True to some degree, but the main driver to value in the context of our discussion is if a school brings a new and distinct...

You're a college professor, I believe. Given that, you know that numbers need to be put into proper context. Last season Tech had two games on OTA networks or the ESPN mothership...Clemson and UGa. The Clemson game drew 1.62M for a noon start on ABC, which is not good compared to the normal ABC...

There can't be exact data since there has not been an 8-0 Vandy or an 8-0 Georgia Tech in recent years, so this is all speculative. That said, looking at last season's Texas A&M v LSU game one can see that the viewership for that game (ESPN Noon game, but on Thanksgiving weekend) was only 2.00M...

I would expect all four of the players for last year's team to sign. I would also expect Bo Walker to sign. The pitcher, Royer, going in the 20th round, I suspect that means he agreed to a certain bonus number before the selection was made, but not as certain on that one as the other 5.

Wiley mentioned late in the season, either the Duke or FSU series, that Giesler was hoping to return next season. The 2020 season didn't count due to Covid. He must have redshirted in the 2021 season, and then played the 2022-2024 seasons, leaving one more year of eligibility. Thankfully, IMO...

In the past hour we've mentioned 14 position players who should get playing time next season. Since CFDH only plays about 11 position players by the time conference play starts, that means 3 of these mentioned will not see much action. And that assumes no more transfers are brought in. Unless...
