  1. 2021 ACC Baseball

    I would say that our 7-6 OOC record with losses to #200 Eastern Kentucky (21-32), #156 Georgia State (17-36), and losing 2/3 to Kennesaw State (29-20, #131 RPI) don't help our case. Also, that we have 1 consistent starter in Hurter. Archer was great early, has been a coin toss lately. Grissom...
  2. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Duke's OOC RPI, according to D1Baseball was #1 with a #10 SOS. For comparison, Louisville's was #126 and #210. Tech's was #129 and #137. Duke's only losses were to ECU (0-2, potential top 8 seed) and Coastal Carolina (2-1). 2-0 vs Liberty, who's 37-12. Beat Campbell, who's 33-14. Beat...
  3. ACC Tournament 2021

    I agree regarding RPI, but the committee can use it as a crutch to pick and seed teams at times. Based on D1Baseball's analysis of the 20 teams that could be host sites, they did that more than usual this year. That concerns me.
  4. ACC Tournament 2021

    What "standings" are you referring to? We are already the #2 team in the ACC. I agree that we need to use our pitching judiciously, but at this point we have an RPI of 42, just behind #41 UGA, according to D1Baseball. So any win that we get is critical to our eventual standing in the NCAA...
  5. ACC Tournament 2021

    I disagree. The games may be meaningless to us fans, but are not to the players. The players want to win every game they play, otherwise they would not be where they are. They want to win EVERY game they play. Therefore, so do I.
  6. First Pitch from Space

    Somehow I missed it. I heard that the first pitch was from Outer Space, but didn't see anything on the scoreboard and I was sitting behind home plate with a clear view of it. Perhaps I was looking skyward asking, where is it??? How long ago did they toss it towards the earth? Did it burn up...
  7. GT vs UNC; I'll take the Coastal for $500 Alex

    I was wondering whether UNC was arguing that Parada was blocking the plate before he had the ball, which I believe is no longer allowed in college ball. Saw the play real time, so have no idea how it looked in replay.
  8. GT vs UNC; I'll take the Coastal for $500 Alex

    Glad to hear that you got the opportunity to get to the games this weekend. I got off to a late start from Cincinnati on Thursday, got to the game just after 7:30, and they were already through 3 innings with us having a 2-0 lead (wasn't surprising as I was listening to WREK on the way into...
  9. ACC Tournament 2021

    Just need someone to step up like Heddinger did in 2013 vs Vandy. Nothing left in baseball after this for many of these kids, so let it all loose! Not sure who that may be, but need someone.
  10. 2021 Atlanta Braves

    I was just thinking the same thing Milwaukee. Mets fan, but damn...
  11. 2021 Atlanta Braves

    WTF is up with Minter? Looked good until he made a poor throw to first for an error. Then couldn't throw a strike and everything melted down...
  12. THWG

    That was a hell of a game. I was pretty useless at work today though.
  13. Class of 2021 - Baseball Commits

    Ugh, Georgia Tech University???
  14. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    You are correct. Forgot that it was a home/away series. Doesn't change the fact that we lost 2 out of 3 to a team that has gone 1-7 against teams that I would hope to be at worst 6-2 against as a Tech fan.
  15. 2021 Baseball Season

    I suspect the drastic inconsistencies have to do with not pitching live action much over the last year+. Even Leiter and Rocker seem to be fading now, and they're the top 2 college arms in the draft.
  16. 2021 ACC Baseball

    Well, most ACC tournament games I've been to have been very socially distanced anyway. Unless the tournament's in Greensboro and UNC or NC State are playing. They may get a good number of fans in Charlotte as well, along with Clemson. I think it would be unlikely if any games not involving...
  17. 2021 Atlanta Braves

    Ironically, he's been hit on the bill of the helmet with the bases loaded before, and been hit in the jaw in another plate appearance... His face seems to be a magnet for baseballs... And those were with prior teams, not the Mets...
  18. NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Not even talking about RPI. We lose 2/3 at HOME vs. Kennesaw State. And they beat us pretty good. Then they lose 7/8 against @Mercer (0-1), Liberty (1-5 home and away), and Wofford (0-1). Not the teams I want to be comparing Georgia Tech to...
  19. Who should make the next Thread?

    I love to beat the Dawgs, but the next critical thread is the UNC series. Win that series and get the #2 seed in the ACC tournament.
  20. Category 1 Hurricanes this weekend.

    All of the coaches and players should be blamed (or applauded) for our current situation. 19-14 in the ACC, leading the Coastal division. A lot of teams would love to be in our position!
