Agreed, they are pounding the zone very well. The first pitch was the best pitch several times last night.
You can't exclusively work the count on guys that always throw first pitch strikes. Eventually you need to ambush a couple first pitches that are in your spot or you just give pitchers a...
Personally, I think the committee is going to suprise a lot of people with GT's seed. I feel like every March I hear the same thing... "the committee rewarded a strong finish and forgave early losses." That's us in a nutshell.
Heck, I don't see how the committee wouldn't want us in a...
If I did my research right...
The lowest seed to win the ACC tournament has been the 6 seed... 5 times. Maryland most recently in '04, also us in '93. Both were 4 seeds in the NCAAT and had 19-11; 19-10 records before the NCAAT.
Not saying we will/should be a 4 seed... but higher than that...
And you're saying that line that is crossed from 16 to 8 is suddenly what makes it more valuable to a program than an ACC Championship? That's your line in the sand?
Top 8 in a tournament format for which every (reasonable) person recognizes is laid out to crown a champion but not individually rank the top 64, then top 32, then top 16, teams.
By your logic, UVA finished outside the top 25 in 2018 and never should have had a ranking all year?
Nice try, but not the same. Your way of looking at it is silly.
They would definitely say they were the NCAA Champions and hang a banner claiming it. I doubt the banner would read "#1".
More to the point... you can be certain Loyola-Chicago has a Final Four 2018 banner hanging in their gym...
In the spirit of lively conversation...
I can understand the argument/logic for:
-Winning a game
-Getting a few days of national talk for making it past the first weekend
-Final 4
-Championship game
But what in the world is the logic for the "Elite 8"? It's one day of attention that no one...
We were a consensus top 25 team coming into the season and in 3 weeks have beaten 2 ACC teams ranked ahead of us. No reason to do anything but be excited at this point.
Forget bad pitching, we pitched better. Forget Pitt's advantage, I'll take better team over better field all day. Forget...
Forget Tech not being top 5 and forget D1 Baseball's rankings. If Tech is not top 5, then it seems likely the top 5 teams are all SEC. Self fulfilling prophecy at that point.
