    GTWBB 2022 (Off-season thread)

    The problem lies with the WNBA having such a low salary cap per team to keep the league financially viable. If you look at the Liberty's salaries you will find their five free agents all make six figures, while the rookies and players signed to draft contracts over the last few years are all...

    Coaching Staff Given Extentions thru 2025

    I am a die hard baseball fan and follow this message board religiously but this is the first time I dared read this thread because I knew it would bring the trolls out. There are posters on this thread that never contribute anything positive to the baseball board and only pop out of their...

    Miami

    Looks like it, but am I the only one that prays every time Crawford takes the mound fearing that another home run is about to be hit? Which I hate because his story is such a great one. Can't be too many aerospace engineers that walk on and pitch meaningful innings in college baseball.

    D1 baseball rankings, 4/17

    So 4 of the top hitting teams in the country are in the ACC and we have faced all three of the others already winning 4 and losing 5. Who knew how impressive those 3 against VT would look at this time of year. We are 6-3 against the top 15 as they are ranked presently.

    D1 baseball rankings, 4/17

    I'll take any good mojo we can get. However, D1 has been pretty high on us all year. And Fitt, who has seen us in person on several occasions, is pretty much sold on our offense being tops in the nation or pretty close to it. I also think they feel we have faced the top tier talent of our...

    2022 ACC Baseball

    Since the bat incident with Vandy in the past 12 games they have averaged 6.5 runs per game. As a comparison, the 12 games prior to that (against fairly similar competition) they averaged 9.75 runs per game. They also have experienced 2 of their losses, including one to Tn Tech, in the last 12...

    2022 ACC Baseball

    Thanks for the detail. If I were an opponent of Tennessee I would be checking the bat for every single batter. While it is possible for a team like Tennessee to have vast improvement year to year, the massive improvement they have shown smells a bit fishy to me.

    2022 ACC Baseball

    If that is a fact, and I'm not questioning the veracity, how are they getting away with it. I would think the traditional SEC baseball powerhouses would have the league office, the police and the FBI on the case by now. Particularly Vanderbilt who has had all the power in the state for the past...

    UNC Series

    In the glass half full version of our pitching, it seems to me we have greatly cut down on the walks for the most part. Walks and HPB's anger me more than base hits. If we throw the ball over the plate (other than the hanging breaking ball) and the batter is able to rake it for a hit then hats...

    Anyone have any info on the scrimmage? How did the new players look?

    And both Ish and Elder were hurting for the championship. Not so at MSG.

    Jose with another excellent night tonight with 15 points, 7 assists, 3 steals and 0 turnovers.

    Jackson State

    We don't play games like Jackson State to help our resume. We play them to give the regulars a chance to work out some kinks and to give the younger players a chance to show what they can do in live game situations. Also, in this particular case, it would give the middle infielders a chance to...

    Jackson State

    With that logic we should cancel the rest of our season as we could potentially lose and possibly get injured in all of them. And even in ACC games there are some that won't improve our SOS.

    2022 Season

    I get what you are saying but I was only using RPI as an indicator to how weak their schedule was and how I couldn't understand their ranking (given their losses) since I couldn't readily find a composite index like above that had the rankings of teams 100 and above. Their ranking in D1 Baseball...

    Status on Chandler Simpson?

    We rarely see any specifics on injuries (see Deleo). Not sure if it is a HIPA thing or just not wanting to share anything with the opposition. All I can say is Chandler, if you are reading this, there are a WHOLE LOT of us fans that wish you well and hope it is nothing serious because we can't...

    2022 Season

    Oh and I forgot to mention FSU is dead last in the ACC in runs scored by a wide margin.

    2022 Season

    I will have to use RPI as an indicator because there are no other rankings I can find that include some of the opponents they have lost to. They have two losses to teams ranked below 100 along with losses to teams ranked #47 and #57. None of their weekend series wins (or any wins for that...

    2022 Season

    Can someone explain to me how FSU is ranked #8 with a record of 10-5 which includes a couple of pretty bad losses? Is it just because they are FSU and voters think they are supposed t be a top 10 team every year?
