The ball wasn't thrown high at all. Becchetti had to jump up to avoid the runner. Definitely SC Top 1 play. Thanks @FredJacket

When we score enough runs, we can beat anyone. Who needs pitching anyway? ERA stats don't matter as we saw. Great win, gotta find some clips of Laskey making the throw out to end the 5th. 385 RISP. Runners on 3rd - 750 (6-8). (I think RISP is mean reverting.) Stole 3 bases to their 0...

There is one parent I have talked with a lot. They were surprised that their son really liked Hall. They didn't think Hall did that much for their son. Point is I think the narrative that the players really like Hall is generally true (not all do of course). But I really don't care, I just...

Making or not making the NCAAT wouldn't affect my decision. We shouldn't be where we are at this point of the season IMHO and there is the body of work over the last decade plus. But sure, I'd wait till after the last game of the season (an hour or two) before letting him go.

Big win the semi's. https://ramblinwreck.com/jackets-power-past-no-15-virginia-tech-advance-to-acc-semifinals/

Game notes out. WiIey on WREK all weekend. Pitching rotation FInateri, Jones, McKee. Interesting that Duke has TBD on Sunday. https://ramblinwreck.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-Baseball-Game-Notes-Duke.pdf

Teixeira is a Hall fan first but also a GT fan of course IMHO. I think he is first and foremost a fan of developing players for the MLB and then good character development. Hall obviously did right by Teixeira and they are both very loyal (a good trait IMHO). Hall is a good guy from...

This weekend we should play 3 games against #9 Duke; 6, 4 and 1 PM. Weather looks nice with moderate cloud cover, low probability of rain and in the 70's. Great weather for baseball. Duke is about the same as us batting - OBA and BA are very close. Fielding % is essentially the same. Duke...

Is now the time to resurrect the "overperform to expectations" discussion? I'll wait till after Duke. No surprise that our pitching is down to 10th ACC after the Clemson rapings. But we were 13th last year. Our pitching last night against a typically weak hitting team was pretty good outside...

Wiley's back! But on WREK versus Wes & Roddy on ACCN. That is a conundrum. Auburn's Cy Young had a 9.72 ERA going into tonight's game ........ against Cam. Let's hope he has the same stuff as last week. Bet it's a staff night for Awburn. Our team hitting is better than theirs. And defense...

You won't find any love. I only said he could always throw hard.

Touching 101 mph with break and control. That is elite. He could always throw hard. "Maxwell struck out the side in three of his first eight appearances out of the bullpen for Chattanooga while also showing more control than ever." So he should be called up any time?

I agree we have probably slightly exceeded external expectations . Those expectations are largely based on the last few seasons performance and don't usually consider recruiting class or transfers but assume that program continue in the same broad brush way. That is usually the best assumption...

The team has NOT overachieved relative to my expectations at the beginning of the year given the recruited and transfer talent. We have overachieved if the start point is after the 6 game ACC losing streak to UNC and BC. Like RPI, IIWII. Something else has to change.

Won one fortunately. Sort of most likely expectation. Our team never gives up. But our pitching got raped this weekend. We still control our destiny. Just beat Auburn on Tuesday. Need win @ home over #51 RPI to tread RPI water and stay at 48 or better.

Yup. Good pitching usually beats good hitting. Seeing a good RHP against our RH hitting heavy lineup. But 3 of 5 Clempy pitchers were RH in game 2. As expected we are better against LHP, but can hit RHP too. 16-10 (62%) v RHP and 11-5 (69%) v LH. Probably within reasonable variance of...

The Clempy pitcher today is a RHP and Clempy's best. Hopefully the cavemen come to play. As always, need to run up the count and get to the pen, we did all right in the second game against the pen.

I watched the replay. Becchetti hit the HR. In the next minute or so, Clempy bush league a holes took his bat into their dugout. The umps asked for it back and gave it to a GT assistant. From the reaction the assistant got in the GT dugout, he must have seen what happened. And caused it to...

Unless Cam doesn't play the first game to rest him up. That would have him be fresh while the other players are somewhat tired being in their second game of the day. The other option of pitching his second game of the day seems to be obviously undesirable.

Clempy is an SEC wanna be. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
