I'm all for that idea. Every batter would know the strike zone immediately and not have to figure it out as the game goes along based on the way that particular umpire is calling the game. I disagree about what you said about the pitchers with the great breaking balls. I think an electronic zone...

The most important thing to me is to get someone on board right away and hopefully it is someone exciting enough to keep the players we have from bolting. We all know the vultures of other programs are circling already around Kelly and Cain and maybe a couple others.

Thusfar Notre Dame has not been overwhelming at the plate. It will be interesting to see who does a better job of overcoming their weakness....Notre Dame's hitting or our starting pitching (for two games anyway). If Brown continues his trend he should have a great start today. I hope we can go...

After everything that went down at Louisville I don't see Tech taking a chance on him.

Hopefully he pitches this Saturday and every one after that. I have mixed feelings about him sliding up to Friday at some point. While I would like to increase our odds of starting off each series with a win, I'm leary of using him against every opponents ace. As I mentioned before, I would love...

I think the defensive numbers are particularly good given the fact we have been playing three backups since the opening weekend. You could actually say all four infield positions if Finley continues to play first. One thing I want to point out is how impressive Romano has been turning the double...

They carry their own bags unless they are playing in the US AM or non college qualifying events.

If Samol can get the control down I could see him as one of our weekend starters before the end of the year. A good lefty starter is a big plus especially in our ball park. Samol looks very relaxed with his delivery and at 6'8" he can be a monster. He appears to throw mid 90's with ease. If he...

They are not a bad team. They have played a tough schedule. Last week Lipscomb led both games Saturday and Sunday at Auburn into the 7th inning but couldn't close them out. They also took a weekend series against Notre Dame earlier this year.

I may be wrong but my understanding is that if Finley was replaced as a pitcher then whoever came in for him on the mound would have to bat in his spot in the lineup. But by pinch hitting for him Compton was able to stay in the lineup as DH regardless of who was pitching. So I think the...

I picked 5th or 6th. Traditionally we never do as well as we are supposed to when we are picked near the top. Likewise we usually finish much better than predicted when picked near the bottom. We lost a lot of talent off last year's team but still have a lot of talent on this year's team. If we...

The back end of our bullpen has been excellent so far this year. We haven't been able to say that for quite some time. So that is a positive. Our starting pitching has been suspect other than Finley but keep in mind we have two guys that may very well make up our weekend rotation later this year...

For all we know he has done so. The fact that us fans are not aware of his plans does not mean that he has not informed Tech and his coaches what his plans are. CDH does not strike me as the kind of person that gives a damn what the fans think nor does he spend any time on social media (unlike...

Losing 75% of our starting infield certainly doesn't help. We definitely need Jackson and Compton to get better soon. The other night they said Compton took batting practice so that is good news. Big question is going to be what happens when Campbell gets back. Romano has looked too good to take...

Not sure who your source is, but if true that would be a shame. I am really looking forward to seeing those blazing fastballs he is known for.

Hard to believe the home run rate could increase more than what is currently happening. But if it does watch out. We may see another adjustment to the bat composition. It's not so much that they want to curtail homers but the exit velocity to protect pitchers from being taken out. I can't...

If a team played home games in a regional then I included them. The input was based on an entirety of games scheduled at each ACC stadium that included the ACC team. I did not include any games that did not include the ACC team in their home stadium. For example if Texas Tech and Harvard played...

It's total home runs hit at each ACC ballpark by both the home and visitor teams both in and out of conference. For example, in 2022 Georgia Tech played a total of 31 home games at which 106 home runs were hit combined by both Tech and the opposition. So 106 home runs divided by 31 games comes...

From time to time over the years I have heard Russ Chandler Stadium referred to as a launching pad. Whether that is because of the fact Tech has traditionally been a power hitting team while also having subpar pitching or because of the dimensions of the stadium I'm not sure. In an earlier...

Apparently something lit a fire under their ***. Low score of the day at -16. If they could have just done half as good the first two days they would be in contention for the title.
