Softball started their ACC season with a 4-1 win over NCState in the 11th. Great pitching! 11th win in a row. We could use that type starting pitching!
We should be generous and give them at least one win. They deserved a win Tuesday when they scored 19 runs. They may have a pitching problem.
Maybe we could get an extra game in so that we can run up our win total this year. RPI is meaningless except for ranking teams.
289 RPI.
But we did start and should have the honor to finish the game IMHO. I hate uGag and recognize the transactional stupidity of completing the game (Warren Nolan gives us an 8% chance to win), but we should take our medicine. It's just a game and how we play it shows who we are.
Northeastern is looking better than we are so far this year. Warren Nolan predicts they win 3-9. I think we'll score a lot more than 3. But could give up 9. https://www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2024/team-predict-schedule?team=Georgia-Tech
If we wait till 4 to start, looks 90% likely to be...
I haven't posted during or since the Sunday game. Went to a play Sunday and then a bar and watched the score and lead slip away.
I don't think it is fair to blame Hall for the particular loss, it was a collapse of pitching on the third game of a series where we had to burn more pitchers in...
So what's people's opinion about the ACC Tourney? Separate thread is fine. We won't get any byes, but maybe make some noise? NIT seems out of the question unless we win the tourney (1% vegas odds?) and then it'll be the NCAA.........
We played good baseball yesterday. RISP hitting is somewhat luck. The problem is only 4 hits all day. Shuffling the order won't help if we don't hit more.
That was the worst we've hit this year. A one time occurrence or due to facing higher quality pitching for the first time? Time will tell.
I watched on and off. This team is so much more athletic than previous years. Make some fabulous plays but throwing away the ball too much. And in-bounding is an adventure.
In any event a great win.
Agree it can be resumed.
Game time today to 3PM:
For those of you dying to know, Tadej Pogacar in Strade Bianche attacked at 81km to go as he said he would. Leading by 3minutes 30 seconds with 40 km to go ........ That's like a pitcher saying I'm going to throw you nothing but fast balls...
Yeah I have PTSD too over our pitching. It won't go away till we consistently beat good hitting teams. And we are seeing the best team so far this season, but probably not close to the best team we'll see this year. Most upper level teams have gotten better with the portal, we have too. But...
Here are the stats from RamblinWreck Game Notes. uGag hitting better than we are. But ...... our ERA is better than theirs? What universe are we living in?
If we can get twice through their order with only a run or two to start, I like our chances. We'll find out soon.

Piss on them!
Warren Nolan predicted results below (they will eventually be right). Lots of scoring. Makes sense if you believe their RPI is about 58 and ours is about 109. Which makes sense is you think they have played slightly better competition than we have.
None of which matters when...
Thanks. Several of us watch ACCNX and have Wiley on when he is on WREK. Either synch up the time by delaying WREK or like I do listen to WREK while doing other things and get back to the screen for key plays. (Don't know if anyone has noticed but there is a lot of dead time in baseball.)
There is an archive of games on WREK, or has been in past. @TheDanielHordShow may know where too.
What a memorable game. What a call; Wiley was fantastic as usual in setting it up. He is such a natural at broadcasting. I watched the first 3 HRs and was listening to Wiley walking the dog in...
