Can't ask for anything more, LFO. Thanks for being a great fan! I personally agree with the move, mainly because I still believe that Hall has earned the right to go out on his own terms. I do hope that he returns the respect by hanging up the cleats if next season is not markedly better. These...

Now that most of us have weighed in on what we would do if the decision were ours, I wonder if we have any predictions as to what J Batt will do. Anyone care to take a guess? I don't have a good feel at all, but if forced to predict I will say that DBo will be let go and that the rest of the...

Interestingly, the #2 seed (lower of the two division winners) has won their pool 4 out of 5 seasons. #3 and #4 do better than #1, but not better than random. It could be, as you say, just a function of the randomness of baseball.

That's sorta my point. I think that we are more likely to beat Wake than we are to beat Clemson. Wake is there just because they have to be. Sure, winning the ACC tourney is nice, but their goal is to be ready for the NCAA tourney. This includes getting their mid-level pitchers some game action...

You might actually want to draw Wake. You want to draw the team who has nothing really to play for as far as the NCAAs are concerned. I would put Wake at the top of that list. Plus, that would be the biggest help from a resume POV.

I wish that winning the series would help, but I'm pretty sure we must sweep. And I don't think that even that, without a good performance in the ACC Tourney, will be sufficient. But without a sweep this weekend I think we will be forced to win the ACC Tourney.

12-18 is .400. 11-17 is .393

I don't think a sweep of UVa puts us in unconditionally. If we sweep UVa but then go 0-2 at DBAP, that puts us at 15-17 in ACC games, with an RPI probably in the 30's. I don't think that will put us across the line. My guess is that we can lose one more game of the next 6, but not 2. We might...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're in no matter what. It is impossible for both Pitt and NC State to pass us. Pitt and NC State both MUST win a game to pass us. If they both go 1-1 and we get swept then we finish ahead of NC State.

On the flip side, Erik Bakich and the Clemson squad has continued to get better and better as the season has gone along. When we played them I made the statement that they were probably the worst team in the ACC, now I think I would rank them as #2 in the ACC. Quite a turnaround!

To my knowledge: Luke Waddell - Gwinnett Justin Henry Malloy - Toledo Connor Thomas - Memphis Tristin English - Reno (won't come through Durham unless traded) Kyle McCann - Las Vegas (won't come through Durham unless traded)

I love his swing. He just looks so relaxed up there.

I discovered that I don't like this method of ranking the teams since one player can skew the numbers greatly. As I mentioned, we dropped significantly because Mark Teixeira was jacking up our numbers for the 2019 article. Fresno St is top 10 almost solely because of Aaron Judge (they do also...

OK, I did the number crunching. I hope this isn't too much of a mistake, but I did it for the past 20 seasons (as the previous article did), which hurt Tech because Mark Teixeira fell of the list. National Top 10: Long Beach St - 224.7 Arizona St - 178.0 LSU - 175.7 Cal St Fullerton - 174...

Yes, I didn't mean to imply that things would change much, especially for the Jackets. I suspect that Vanderbilt would move up the list some, but in general I would expect it to look similar.

Thanks for posting this. I would like to see an updated list (this article is 4 years old)...perhaps I can work on that this week.

Here is what I found. Sorry for the long post, but I enjoyed (yes, really) looking back through this and though I would share: 2008 Athens Regional (2 seed) - We won first 2 games, but then lost badly to #8 national seed UGa twice. I remember thinking at the time that CDH cost us this one by...

I agree that it seems like "luck" would have gotten us through one time. This has inspired me to try and see the details of those 11 NCAA performances. My gut says that we never have the pitching depth to even give us a chance to get lucky, but we shall see. On another note, Virginia has fallen...

I gotta agree with Leatherneck here. My quick back of the napkin calculation of "expected" record is that we should be 25-16 in those 11 trips***. We've never pulled off an upset, while consistently getting upset when we are the host. *** Should go 3-0 as top 8 national seed, 3-1 as 1 seed but...
