  1. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    If you want to change it, help to turn college baseball into a significant revenue generating sport. At some SEC schools, it probably is. For the rest of the country, it is not. Therefore, teams are sent to geographically convenient locations to reduce cost. I try to do my part by buying...
  2. Nashville Regional - Vandy, Ga Tech, Indiana St, Presbyterian

    I have a hard time seeing that. If it's his normal bullpen day, yeah maybe throw him for an inning. But consider that he's coming off TJ surgery. Looking at his stats, he threw 53.2 innings in 2018, 48.1 innings in 2019, whatever he did for rehab in 2020, and has now thrown 85.1 innings this...
  3. 2021 Falcons Thread

    Wow, Julio Jones traded to the Titans. Curious how Falcons fans feel about that. And how they think it impacts the 2021 season.
  4. Nashville Regional - Vandy, Ga Tech, Indiana St, Presbyterian

    I'm ready to win 2 today. LFG! Who are our starting options today? Archer, Crawford. Huff? Medich? Westbrooks? Is Roedig even still with the team?
  5. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Very true. I don't think our players are complaining about who they have to play though. You want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I suspect our players are excited at the opportunity to knock off a Vandy.
  6. Nashville Regional - Vandy, Ga Tech, Indiana St, Presbyterian

    Only have to win twice today. If we do that, one more tomorrow.
  7. Nashville Regional - Vandy, Ga Tech, Indiana St, Presbyterian

    I'm not sure time between games matters as much when you're talking about 15 versus 21 hours. These are young men in the prime of their lives. Yes, if you play a game and have to play another one an hour later, fatigue could be a factor. But when you're talking about playing at 7 pm on Friday...
  8. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Yes, you can argue that since we missed BC who was the last place team in the ACC, while Miami missed Notre Dame, who was the #1 seed in the ACC. RPI is somewhat meaningless, yes. But a series win over top 16 seed Florida, at Florida, versus a series loss to Kennesaw State (2 home, 1 road if I...
  9. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    A lot of blowouts early. Can't recall this many non-competitive games this early on NCAA Saturday before. Central Michigan beating Michigan 7-1 T8. Duke beating Wright State 13-5 B7. Southern Miss beating Southeast Missouri State 20-0 T7. South Alabama beating Florida 16-1 B7. Maryland beating...
  10. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    WOW! 0-2 and Barbecue has happened to us as hosts though... I think D1Baseball made a snide comment about that in one of their articles. We finished ahead of Miami because they missed a game against Wake due to COVID. They beat us head to head (although that was due to a Maxwell meltdown...
  11. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Duke beating Wright State 13-4 B5 in their elimination game. Wright State deserved better in this tourney, in my opinion. I am biased though, as I lived a mile or two from their campus when I lived in Dayton. UVA losing 7-5 to Jacksonville B5. Hope UVA can pull that one out and make a run to...
  12. Nashville Regional - Vandy, Ga Tech, Indiana St, Presbyterian

    Eh, left, right, what's the difference? It almost seemed like he wanted to take a nap (or perhaps was) while the questions were directed to JHM and Compton.
  13. Nashville Regional - Vandy, Ga Tech, Indiana St, Presbyterian

    A clear advantage for Indiana State pitching to not have to get 3 more outs, yes. Saved at least 1 pitcher for them for later in the tournament. I hope that doesn't come back to haunt us tomorrow, when they have that extra pitcher to throw against us or Vandy.
  14. New Pro Jackets Progress

    MLB.COM's 30 pitching prospects off to blazing starts: https://www.mlb.com/news/pitching-prospects-off-to-hot-starts-2021 Indians: Xzavion Curry, RHP (unranked on Indians Top 30) A seventh-round pick out of Georgia Tech in 2019, Curry didn't make his pro debut until this spring because he had...
  15. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    I was very hopeful about having a deep and consistent pitching staff this year myself. Hasn't worked out. Have Hurter and Archer both coming back from elbow surgeries, and both have been solid at times but shaky at times as well. Roedig coming back from arm surgery, which apparently didn't...
  16. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    And the 2 trendy (at least on D1Baseball) upset picks to potentially win regionals and make it to Omaha (Duke and UVA) were the ones that lost...
  17. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    ACC looking better than they were earlier today. Now 5-2 with UNC up 5-3 on UCLA in the 8th. See what tomorrow brings.
  18. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    That's unfortunate.
  19. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Let's go Wright State! Lived (and worked) about a mile from their campus when I was a post-doc at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton. Go Raiders!
  20. Nashville Regional - Vandy, Ga Tech, Indiana St, Presbyterian

    Won't be easily chased, as both are projected to be top 10 picks in the MLB draft this year. They are hittable and can be beaten lately though. Tech just needs to do what we do best, which is HIT!
