Same in the area we've been sitting the last few years - all season ticket holders around us are gone this year. Last season created the lowest possible level of excitement going into this season as CGC's hype and program was dreadfully exposed. Genuinely hope this season will exceed...
Great job with this. Par for the course over the past few years but appears our Oline is once again most vulnerable from an injury perspective - if we lose one or two OT's the whole thing falls apart again like last year. They missed getting another OT with experience in the portal in the...
Excitement for college football starting for sure! Objective expectations for GT are as low as I ever remember them, but perhaps this is a good contrast to last season when almost everyone had higher expectations for improvement going into the season. Here's to hoping we don't have to watch...
I have heard generally positive feedback from the kids who have been coached by CDB both with the Yankees and at GT. However, I believe many here are correct to question his emphasis on metrics and technology vs coaching to compete/win. More emphasis needs to placed on in-game pitch calling...
This is all consistent with my personal data points in recent years also. Kids in the top 10 rounds or so have already had a handshake type agreement on money (inclusive of potential sponsorships) right before they get drafted by any given team. This obviously reduces risk for the teams. So...
I hope you are right. My concern is our coaching is not emphasizing location over metrics like velocity, spin rates, etc. Nor are we calling pitches specific to hitters weaknesses during games. I would classify all this as learning how to pitch to win vs metric-based coaching. I believe this...
Great to see the success with GT pitchers playing elsewhere. Highly promising. Realizing they are not facing ACC caliber hitting but one has to wonder a bit about the pitch calling/coaching at GT - really need to see improved GT Pitching coaching next season...
Without more donations, events planned beyond 7/18 will need to be deferred. So right now is a key early inflection point where the actions of all readers on GTSwarm plus additional potential GT donors can help determine the ultimate success of credible GT NIL initiatives like this one...
Thanks for sharing the article in the AJC to better explain this NIL initiative. This seems like a great way for GT fans to donate their money OR their time by attending one of these events and meet/work alongside some of the GT athletes to help make these events successful for everyone...
The AJC interview w/CDH spelled this out pretty well IMO. CDB has experience in teaching kids how to improve their velocity, spin rates, mechanics, etc... But he has seemingly little experience teaching pitchers how to compete and win inclusive of emphasizing pitch calling during games to...
Do you think we keep him? I hope so but have heard third-hand he was less than thrilled with playing time this past season playing behind a .260's hitter in CF and an error-prone K-king in RF...
Brown ended up with an 8.77 season ERA. The fact GT had to rely on him in the highest leverage situation of the season speaks volumes about our pitching options...!
Interesting summary of 2022 portal losses vs gains

Low expectations this year due to our pitching & D but hey, that might mean better results than some years when I've had much higher expectations! If one more starter could catch fire like Grissom and Medich recently have, we'd have a shot. And we need a couple of our bullpen guys (beyond...
Looking back at the season, I must have missed it as injuries aren't really talked about in College sports but what happened to our Freshman pitcher Eokerholm - was he injured all season?
Oh, how much we miss pitchers who can pitch like Curry and Thomas...but great to see them have success at the next levels..
From this past weekend on the single-A Rome, GA Braves team... Luke Waddell doing well at AA too...
On offense, Justyn-Henry Malloy has been going wild of late as he...
Air feels like it's out of the balloon at this point in the season. Will continue to watch as a fan but very low confidence of success at this point due to repeated pattern of poor pitching and defense. Just can't turn it around with this pattern. Feels like watching the wrong end of a 10-0...
