    Play suspended at 11:47 AM with just a few holes in. Jackets tied for 4th at -11. Sixth place is at -10.

    Duke Baseball

    Based on the results the last two days you can say the same about Duke's pitching. But I don't hear anyone saying they can't make it out of a regional. Just sayin.

    2024 Season

    It is frustrating at times watching these games on TV because rarely does the camera line up directly with home plate. Because of that, pitches often look like they are over the plate but are actually a ball because of the TV camera angle. And you can never depend on the home crowd to give you...

    Duke Baseball

    I believe the trend you are referring to is the fact he is giving up more hits, walks, and runs than he was earlier in the season. With him stretching out to more innings pitched than previously, that would explain some of it. Also, since he has started pitching against ACC competition I'm sure...

    I think they pulled King before he could give up a gopher ball which has been a bad habit of his for a while now. This way he pitched a clean inning and got some of his confidence back and is available to pitch again this weekend.

    That's a little deceiving because you are just using the ERA's of the Sunday starter. I have a feeling if you take the ERA of the Sunday staff that number comes down a bit.

    I can't say that I totally agree with your assertion. We have given several freshmen opportunities this year. I believe we have often started more freshmen than most of the teams we play in the ACC. Beyond the obvious of Burress in centerfield you have Lackey behind the plate. Kerce had a good...

    I would think most teams wouldn't match up well with anyone who has three good starters in a 3 game series. Just sayin'.

    @Clemson Baseball

    It wasn't anything like that. Bechetti watched the homerun and carried the bat about a third of the way down the first base line and then threw it down with two hands. There was no bat flip. I just think the Clemson coach was pissed off that they blew a big lead and then had some residual anger...

    2024 ACC Baseball

    Really the gauntlet started three weeks ago when we took the series against a ranked VA Tech then followed it up with a series win AT top ten UVA and followed that up with a series win against Miami after dropping the Friday game. In two of those series we easily could have had a sweep with a...

    Interesting Contrast in GT Pitching 2023 vs 2024

    I think the one thing we can all agree on is our pitching is much improved over the fiasco of the last couple years. It's amazing what can happen when you simply throw strikes and let your defense play behind you instead of trying to strike out every batter. I think you can see a big difference...

    Interesting Contrast in GT Pitching 2023 vs 2024

    Maybe more homers given up or extra bases overall since WHIP counts a single the same as a double or a homer.

    2024 Season

    I think there is probably a good chance that a good number of SEC teams cheat like that. Only have to go back a couple years when Tennessee was caught using illegal bats. If there is cheating going on you can bet the SEC is at the forefront. However, I am not as convinced a good number of teams...

    I think we are looking at a quick hook tomorrow if McKee gets in trouble. Especially if he starts walking batters. We have Hill ready for long relief plus Brown hasn't pitched this weekend. With no midweek game I think we let everyone go a couple innings and at the first sign of trouble we bring...

    Neither young nor brassy. Just believe what my eyes have been seeing the past few weeks. We are not the same team. Could we lose.....sure, we have some tough teams we have to play. But my point is that we have improved in many areas since the beginning of the season. We have a nice mix of young...

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    I think we are getting too wrapped up in traditional thinking when we talk about who gets how many minutes at the 1 or 2, etc. With CDS 's system the pieces are interchangeable. We could see three "point guards" on the floor at one time with George, McCollum and Mustaf all playing on the...

    Everyone looks like they think we have little chance against the remainder of our schedule. But how many of those same people thought we would go into UVA and take 2 out of three pretty convincingly. They were a top 10 team but we looked like the better team all weekend. They were lucky not to...
