If we're being serious (not sure we are), the SEC will not get 12 teams into the NCAA tournament. Auburn and Missouri have already sealed their fate, and it is unlikely that Florida makes it due to overall record not above .500. LSU and Ole Miss play this weekend, and unless they can figure out...

Looking at Warren Nolan's "Impact Games" list for today ( www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2024/team-impact?team=Georgia-Tech ), there are a few interesting mid-week games. I hope rain doesn't play too much havoc with these: James Madison (RPI 47) @ Virginia Tech Charleston (RPI 50) @ Duke Clemson...

Aaron Fitt on today's D1Baseball.com weekly chat ( d1baseball.com/chats/d1baseball-weekly-chat-may-13-2/ ). His reply matches what several have said on his board. Q: Does GT need to win its pool in Charlotte to feel comfortable? To me, I believe the RPI is being drug by 1 or 2 non con...

I like something Wiley said during the game on Friday, and I think he is right about this....RPI is a Pass/Fail tool. It will tell the committee who to consider for at-large bids and who not to even consider, but beyond that the national committee and the regional committees are knowledgeable...

I like your line about our pitching results being a random number generator. That is a very good description of it. Those numbers you posted just scream out that we have 13 - 15 arms that are capable of being good, but none that are even close to a sure thing. As I mentioned last week, our...

Us going down 3 spots includes the Auburn mid-week game. For the weekend we are up, we were in the 50's prior to Friday, but I can't remember the exact number. For the week, RPI wise, we went 1.4-2.6, that is the main source of the drop. It would have been worse had we not been playing high RPI...

In that scenario I think we would need a win in the ACC Tourney. IMO, we need to get to 16 wins against the ACC, including the tourney.

The cool thing about Mason Miller (Oakland's closer) is that he only has 89 innings in pro ball, and this year is the first time he has pitched in relief. But an average velocity of 100.8!

As we've discussed before, offensive numbers are really up this year in the ACC. From listening to podcasts I think that is true across the country, but I've only seen the numbers for the ACC. Theories I've heard include: 1) Older players from the extra Covid year (one of the Duke players...

Wiley and Colin were discussing this during the game today. There's North Carolina and Clemson, then a group of 8 teams that are basically tied, then the 4 bottom feeders. The ACC is pretty good but also really balanced this year. If we had just not laid such a huge egg the last weekend in March...

It does, or at least for the past 5 weeks it does, and the past 5 weeks was where I was focused since we were comparing Tech's Sunday pitching to Duke's after they lost Healy. But then the question becomes "why?". Is it just random that we get better bullpen work on Sundays (that would be my...

Good point that the Sunday starter hasn't been good since the end of March. I admit I doubted your numbers, but can confirm they are correct. Yet somehow the overall pitching performance hasn't been bad, and as Ben pointed out, the team result has been better on Sundays. Quite interesting. Runs...

I suspect your comment was not to be taken literally, but since I don't have a good sense of humor I will point out that our Sunday pitching results actually haven't been too bad. Since the end of March we have averaged using 4 to 5 arms/game on Sundays, and only once have we used more than 5...

It looks like Duke has been using the Sunday games as a staff day since they lost Healy at the end of March. They've had 2 different Sunday games (Miami & Virginia Tech) where they used more than 10 pitchers in that Sunday game.

Can anyone remind me of the terms of CFDH's contract? When does it expire, what is his salary, etc.?

No, but as you know a season is not made or broken based on two mid-week games. Had we won both of these games, would you be typing how great this season is going? TBH, I had zero expectations for how our two games against Auburn would turn out since they are relatively minor in the grand...

Has anyone heard any reports on Bobby Zmarzlak? He was lifted from the game on Sunday and didn't play last night, so I assume there is some type of injury going on there.

My thoughts on this discussion is that it is at least 3 weeks too early. Let's see how the rest of the season plays out before burying the team. As recently as Saturday we had posters on here talking about how this team could be a regional host (crazy talk, IMO), and now we have folks burying...

A great example of how important scheduling is regarding RPI. Of the schools who were in the top 50 RPI going into yesterday, who do you think took the biggest drop based on yesterday's outcomes? Was it our team losing to the SEC cellar dweller at home? No, it was our friends up in Raleigh who...

At least we're consistent. We also got swept by the worst team in the ACC! (j/k, sorta. I think Pitt is probably the worst team in the ACC, but Boston College isn't much ahead of them).
