Wow, UVa is really playing some high scoring games this year. They already have 6 games in conference where both teams scored 10 or more runs. They are averaging greater than 10 runs/game in conference play, and have scored 10 or more in 10 of 18 games. They have only swept Pitt, but have beaten...

Yes, this is an extremely streaky team. The season so far has been: Win 6 in a row, lose 5 out of 6, win 9 in a row, lose 6 in a row, win 6 out of 8. I have a theory on why this is the case, but the theory is fundamentally negative so I'll keep it to myself. Let's cheer for the team to keep this...

We have a really deep pen available for tomorrow. I suspect Va Tech does as well. This means that both coaches should have quick hooks. Of our top 11 pitchers we've only used 3. We may be holding back McGuire for the Tuesday game against Auburn, but that still leaves us with McKee with a rested...

Obviously not worth much! I have us winning 2 of 3, but I know better than trying to predict individual games in baseball, even if it is just for fun!

As previously mentioned, The Dude (CW Lambert) has been on Twitter for over 10 years, going back to the beginning of the realignment stuff in the early 2010's. He is not only a Big 12 homer, but in those 10+ years he has been wrong on nearly every one of his "predictions". He is the college...

I would expect him to get drafted and for him to sign. MLB scouts will see the potential from his performance on the Cape and will be all over that.

Auburn has not had a great season in SEC play, but their mid-week record is a very good 7-1, and more impressively they have only surrendered 22 runs in those 8 games. Those games will be tough. We have a similar mid-week record (6-1) but have surrendered 32 runs in those 7 games, which is...

Is this a pre-season game, or is it from the season when the NFL tried to use scabs to bust the player's strike? I'm guessing the latter. ETA: Confirmed, this was the first scab game for each team.

Today's game has been postponed to tomorrow. https://ramblinwreck.com/tuesdays-game-vs-southern-moved-to-wednesday/

Looking ahead to the rest of the season, I see two bats who I am pretty confident will be better than they have been so far (Giesler and Green), and I truly believe that Matt Ellis will build on this weekend and be a strong bat the rest of the season. If we can keep Burress from hitting the...

I'm wondering if McGuire is healthy. He went from looking strong to looking totally lost in the span of two weekends. And then, after getting bumped from the rotation, he wasn't even considered for usage this weekend and instead we went with Ben King on a back-to-back after he threw 35-40...

Agreed on Bicchetti. Unless they are just not able to play the position (I doubt this is the case), I would look at giving Jaros or Kerce a few starts at 2B.

I hope that Logan McGuire is not suffering from a return of injury issues. Hopefully he will be available out of the pen. I've been wondering if they might consider Cam Jones as a starter. As it stands so far he hasn't had many impact opportunities as the closer. Might Dawson Brown's electric...

I have no definite knowledge on the subject, but my guess is that the Rays will want him to spend some time at AA Montgomery and see success there before promoting him to Durham. He was added to Durham's play-off taxi squad last year, but I think that was just to have somewhere to send him to...

Two primary problems with that proposal. #1, it takes power away from Sankey and the Big 10 commish, and #2, it is mostly a fair solution, meaning that the schools at the top of the heap right now would have to cede the high ground they hold.

Obviously this team isn't what they showed against NC State, but I think just as obviously this team isn't what they showed last weekend against BC. The Presbyterian team, that seems to be a decent team, certainly better than their 200-something RPI says. They played UGa tight in a mid-week game...

I voted 2 out of 3 for the Jackets. I think we are on the positive side of the pendulum swing, but I almost never predict a sweep. What are you looking at that says no precipitation? The forecast I see says the following for Friday in Pittsburgh: Friday Rain and snow showers, becoming all rain...

I figured that might be the case. I took a guess based on your handle that you would be familiar with that example. There are others, but that is the most prevalent.

This team has been very streaky so far. Win 6 in a row, lose 5 out of 6, win 9 in a row, lose 6 in a row. Maybe we can use this game to get another hot streak started!

BF = Batters Faced. In the case of Dawson Brown last night it's relevance is that he struck out 7 of 9 hitters faced, needing only 37 pitches to do so, which is extremely good! In general, batters faced main relevance comes into play when the number goes above multiples of 9. IOW, anything 1-9...
