I suspect that Fred is noting that, to this point, the team has been slightly better than most pre-season prognostications. My memory told me, and I confirmed with a couple of DDG searches, that the expectation was for a 10th or 11th place finish in conference and missing the NCAA Tournament...

I know we talk a lot about the failures of the program in the Regionals, but the team is due to "get lucky" in one. I agree with Techcaster that our most likely matchup is getting sent to Athens. Looking at D1Baseball's projections from last Wednesday, but substituting UGa as the host instead of...

I would also note that those dimensions down the lines are similar to Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium is 314 down the left field line and 318 down the right field line. I know Techcaster is saying Kinsmore is 310 and 320 respectively, but it is listed at 320 and 330. He could be right, I'm not...

Agree. This week, especially the Duke series, is really important. (How's that for some profound baseball punditry? 😁 ) Win and we are setup to only need a couple wins from FSU and the ACC Tourney combined, but lose and we will need a strong final 10-14 days to make the NCAA Tournament.

That'll teach me! I know better than to allow emotions (good or bad) to enter into an analysis of baseball. Example # 48,412 in my days of playing and watching baseball why one shouldn't...lesson learned (again).

Thanks, this explanation makes sense. As I said in chat, Colin Lacy (whom I generally like) blew it with his reporting on this. He made it sound as if Bakich ran towards home plate, grabbed the bat, and threw it into the Clemson dugout. That would be very much a move to instigate an argument or...

Nobody? I'm beginning to think Collin didn't see what he thought he saw.

Anybody watching the game (or Techcaster572 who I believe was in attendance), what happened with Becchetti's bat after the homerun? Collin Lacy said that Bakich threw it into the Clemson dugout. Why? I thought maybe he was saying it was illegal, but they didn't seem to check it or anything.

I don't often put much stock in momentum from a single game carrying over beyond that game, but this might be an exception! With the off-day tomorrow, this win seems huge.

Well, as it turns out, not good reasons! (j/k) 😁

Your only wired option is DirecTV. Your streaming options are Fubo and DirecTV Stream. A 3rd option is to buy an mlb.tv subscription, but only do that if you have or know how to set-up a VPN around your home network. Without that VPN the Braves' games will be blacked out for you.

Thanks for posting. Glad that he wore the seat belt during the interview!

Not sure I follow. You seem to be implying that what I have been saying all day is that it would be better for Tech if Ellis were to be intentionally walked, when I think what I've been saying is that it would be best for Ellis to hit a homerun, and if not that an extra base hit, or a single, on...

I think we're all good. I agree with nearly all of LNJ's post from 4:37 PM, my only confusion is I don't know how that is different than what I've been saying all day. I know from experience that LNJ knows his baseball. I like to think I do as well, I just wasn't writing clearly enough.

IOW, giving up more hits, especially homeruns, will result in a higher ERA. I wish I had thought of that explanation! 😁 I think we are in agreement just talking past each other. I respect your baseball knowledge, and I miss your presence on the other site discussing baseball topics.

And I'm probably not writing clearly, I'm an engineer, not a writer. However, I will try.... From my reply to you at 8:35 AM, "Obviously this is theoretical since we don't have a crystal ball." IOW, the pitcher doesn't know and this whole discussion is hypothetical. The discussion is not...

Your reading comprehension skills are failing you. The OBP for walks is 100%, but the OBP for walks, HBP, and base hits is also 100%. And as I have now said three times***, I am only saying a walk is better than a hit IFF it is known that the hitter will be getting on base. I agree 100% it is...

The question was how can two pitching staffs allow the same amount of baserunners and yet one have an ERA a full run per game higher than the other. In the context of answering that I wrote that you want to pitch to contact (really I meant throw strikes, I'd rather get swing and miss over...

And since UGa's coach is a former MLB pitching coach from just a few years back, I'm sure he's well versed in how to properly mix, apply, and take advantage of the sticky stuff. I love some good gossip when it's at UGa's expense!
