    ACC Baseball Tournament

    Changing the subject, who do you think starts for us tomorrow. I would rule out Finateri for two reasons: 1. only a few days rest since his last start and 2. FSU didn't have any problems hitting him. Jones pretty much has the same negatives as Finateri. Personally I think I would make it a staff...

    Let's hold off before anointing them with sainthood. They had a very good reason to finish the game. A win would possibly get them a top 4 seed in the ACC tournament which is huge. By not finishing the game they diminish the chance for that top seeding.

    The problem with NIL is that it allows the rich to just get richer. What I would like to see happen if we are going down the rabbit hole of college sports assimilating the pros is to set an NIL salary cap that is the same for all schools. Each school is responsible for getting the money to...

    I would venture to say when those individual decisions adversely affect the group as a whole then it is up to our coach to address it, most likely with a loss of playing time. Perhaps that is what we saw last season with Amaree Abram. Not saying that was the reason for his playing time...

    Missing Payton Green. That looked like an easy double play ball and Kerce let's it bounce past him. Instead of an inning ending double play it ends up in a three run homer as the next batter hits it out.

    My bad, I had the time wrong. Go Jackets!

    Anybody know what is going on with the first game today? I cannot stream any video or see any stats. Are we in a weather delay?

    Baye Declares for NBA; Retaining Eligibility

    I think another part of the equation in this decision is exposure. Stay at Tech and, assuming we have a decent team, he will be featured on national TV for numerous games. Play in the G League and nobody outside of a few NBA scouts will ever see him. There is great value in the announcers and...

    2024 Season

    I use D1baseball.com to monitor all the scores each weekend. They break down their scores by Top 25 and then by each individual conference across all of baseball. That way you can see if there are any upsets in some of those smaller conferences and if there is a chance of bids getting stolen as...

    If logic were applied to the committee's seedings I would say yes. Unfortunately, how many times have we seen logic fly out the window in favor of bias. I would love for the sake of transparency for the selection committee to have a few journalists in the room (outside of ESPN if you can call...

    Golf

    With wet fairways and "lift and place" conditions it played to our strength with all of the long hitters only having to worry about the drives landing in the fairway.

    Golf

    Actually we finished up on the front nine so those guys just played par golf to protect our lead on the last two holes coming in to the clubhouse. Not trying to sound negative at all. It is clutch for those guys to remain strong knowing that a bogie or two could put us in trouble of moving on.

    My information came from an extended segment devoted to the Duke seeding on ACC PM. I assume their comparison of those criteria were correct.

    @FSU Baseball

    It looks like FSU has padded their record against Quad 3 &4 teams. They are an average .500 team against Quad 1 & 2 teams. Looking at their last 10 games they are all over the place from getting shut out by Pitt last Friday to scoring 16 against them on Sunday. I think the secret to putting them...

    Golf

    With a couple holes left we have the low score for the day at -7. Our two seniors are both -4 on the day. We are clear of 6th place by 4 strokes at the moment.

    2024 Season

    If the committee considers the ACC the second best baseball conference in the country you would think that since only one team in the conference (Clemson) has won more series than us it would carry a certain amount of weight. You would think it would....but it probably won't. Also winning...

    Yeah the 12 team SEC bids was tongue in cheek but at the same time isn't RPI, to some extent, a self fulfilling prophecy? Like the football rankings. If your teams start the season all ranked in the top 15 or so and then spend the season beating up on each other then your RPI doesn't take that...

    That would work for us as we were tied for 4th with Baylor. Wait check that. I think we were actually tied for 5th with Long Beach State. Would it then be some other arbitrary tie breaker like who had the lowest team score on the 18th hole of the second round. How would that suck to lose out on...

    I don't know why anyone even bothers with tournament projections at this point. Might as well throw all the teams in a bag and draw your regions. There is still an entire weekend of games plus a midweek game for some to be followed by conference tournaments. So much can change between now and...
