    Agree with everything you said. This is the time of year where you try to get as many pitchers in as you can to determine who you can rely on when we get to the conference schedule. We didn't always do this in years past when we came out of the gate with pitching so bad that CDH seemed to rely...

    Golf team starting strong

    What is going on with the golf team this week? Last week they tied for the lead with #1 Vandy at a prestigious tournament. This week we are playing out in Vegas and are near the bottom of the field. Some really strange scores coming from top players. Is the Las Vegas course just not suited for...

    I have a question for any of you in the know. Over the summer I thought I read about us getting a couple of transfers. One was Cayden Baker fro Texas A&M. The other was a pitcher (can't remember the name) that I believe came from a Big 10 school, I wanna say Michigan. Now I don't see either of...

    Atrocious?? Have you watched any of the games? Or are you just looking at stats that are bloated because a couple of pitchers blew up and greatly inflated the ERA? We have 36.1 innings pitched by 8 different pitchers who all have ERA's below 2.0 (6 of them with an ERA of 0.0). The rest of the...

    Call me old fashioned if you like, but I believe results that don't meet expectations should cause a team to drop in the polls and require them to start beating teams of consequence in order to rise back upon the polls. I can see a single loss to an unranked team not being cause to drop in the...

    I agree with everything you said. I have been impressed with the development we have seen from the pitching staff. This is something that was most criticized by posters on here and deservedly so. Players like Finateri, King, Carwile, Hill and Mannelly have shown marked improvement from last...

    I'm with you. I don't see anything wrong with it. As you alluded to MLB usually limits their closers to one inning because they play 4 out of every 5 days. In this case we played on a Tuesday and don't play again until Friday giving Busse three days to rest before he potentially has to pitch...

    In Schmolke's defense he was throwing balls on the outside corner in the exact same spot (or better) that were called strikes later in the game. A couple of those get called strikes and it's a whole different inning. I can somewhat understand leaving him in after the bases were loaded to let him...

    For those of you interested in watching the game I see it is only available on the ESPN app if you pay for ESPN+. However if you have Hulu they carry all the ESPN+ games on there so you can watch it for free. I just pulled it up under sports/baseball/upcoming games and then added it to "my...

    National Player of the Week: Jake DeLeo

    Considering the number of teams playing college baseball having the national player of the week 6 times is pretty amazing. I don't know the statistics but I doubt anyone else had more than 6.

    I've never seen him anywhere but the outfield.

    In the post game interview CDH said it looks like a hamstring and he will be out for a while. He said Campbell is day to day so hopefully we will see him back in there by next weekend. Hill doesn't look as bad as they feared yesterday so I imagine he will be out a couple weeks.These injuries...

    Seeing our field called a launching pad it got me wondering what the dimensions of all of the parks are in the ACC for comparison. These dimensions all come from Wikipedia. Obviously the dimensions do not take into account wind currents at each location but, based on dimensions alone the Rusty C...

    Yes. I don't think Huff reached quite the level of success as Borden and Simpson although Chance was drafted higher. Malloy is another good example of someone who came do us with marginal numbers at Vandy but had a stellar season with us and has turned into a major prospect for Detroit along...

    I agree with that. I meant to specify the others would get a shot atDH when Finley is on the mound. I'm also very interested in seeing what the transfers can do, especially DIspagna and Busse. We have had an excellent track record of late turning transfers into major stars with Simpson and...

    Love for Josh Okogie in PHX today

    Two examples of guys that play with great intensity, hustle and desire. Would be a nice showcase for Tech.

    Love for Josh Okogie in PHX today

    Josh was the Sun's high scorer tonight with 24 and played 41 minutes which was the most on the team. Happy to see him have a rebirth after getting out of Minnesota.

    With Brown and McGuire it looks like the emphasis is being placed on strike throwers. I like Finley starting Sunday as he can be lights out when he is on. This makes me feel like Riley Stanford will get the first shot at the closer role. Will be interesting to see who starts at DH. Guessing it...

    What as happened to Jackson? Earlier in the year she was good for double digits even hitting over 20 a couple of times. Lately she can't hit anything. There were a few times this past game where she wasn't even guarded at the three point line and she never even looked to shoot. Has she been injured?
