    2022 MLB Draft

    I saw on MLB Network the are showing several hours of the combine. Does anyone know who from Tech might be participating? Parada seems to have his spot pretty well nailed down so he may not be a part of it. But it seems we might have some others that could be invited.

    2022 MLB Draft

    I'd love to see him stay but find it very unlikely. It would seem near impossible to improve at the plate and he would risk falling fast in the draft were he to fall back to even a .300 BA. The only scenario that I think would bring him back for another year is if he gets feedback from the...

    What makes you think he could be portal bound? This was a redshirt year for him allowing him to practice and get stronger. I have no doubt he will be given every chance to win the starting job next year. If he can't beat out Jackson and anyone else competing for the job, then what are we really...

    FSU Fires Baseball HC Mike Martin Jr. (Link to FSU Board)

    You may very well be right, but something tells me there have already been behind the scenes discussions with Ramsey with regard to a possible opening at FSU. Usually before a head coach is fired feelers will go out to potential replacements in the form of boosters or other friends of the...

    NCAA Tourney

    Both ND and Tenn are throwing their aces tomorrow so it should be interesting. The fact they beat the #1 seed without their ace has got to give them a lot of confidence going into tomorrow.

    NCAA Tourney

    He didn't get tossed just for talking back. It was the way he talked back dropping a couple of F Bombs. It looked like he said "do your F'n job". That will get you tossed at any level of baseball. And anyone that can read lips saw that their coach was dropping similar F bombs throughout the...

    Parada named finalist for Golden Spikes Award

    I get what you are saying about Texas being a much larger marketing animal than GT. Out of curiosity I looked up the voting panel for the award. Reading this I don't think the fact Texas has some sort of voting poll among their fans will carry much weight with the voting panel. Golden Spikes...

    Parada named finalist for Golden Spikes Award

    I think Parada takes the Posey award but loses out to Melendez from Texas for Golden Spikes. If the voters for the Spikes award are media types rather than baseball insiders Melendez will take it because of his numbers. If they are baseball types they might lean more toward Parada knowing how...

    It might have something to do with getting acclimated to the wooden bats.

    NCAA Tourney

    I originally figured they didn't make it because they had a losing record in the ACC regular season. No team from the ACC with a losing record made it. But then I noticed that two teams from the SEC (Vandy and Ole Miss) made it despite having losing records in conference. This despite the fact...

    2022 Season

    Both you and your son will be missed. You guys should sue whoever had him throw 412 pitches in 19 days. As I noted on a previous post, I always appreciated the input/info you provided on this board. Being the father of a former athlete I could always appreciate the pride and enthusiasm in your...

    2022 ACC Baseball

    Oops. Left out the fact that Wagner struck out 44 times against Parada's 25.

    ACC Tournament 2022

    I don't know what the recovery times are for specific pitchers on our staff but Medich strikes me as the kind of guy that can go on 5 days rest. Plus I think CDH likes the idea of rolling out his #1 for the first game. Keep in mind that if Pitt rolls out their #1 guy I think he also had more...

    2022 Season

    Another poster indicated he is in the transfer portal now so I'm guessing it wasn't an injury....just a guess. Also wondering about Kristian Campbell. He came in as a highly touted shortstop but I don't think he ever touched the field. Does anyone have any info behind that?

    2022 ACC Baseball

    IMO Parada gets robbed of Player of the year by Max Wagner of Clemson. Stats similar but Parada does it as a catcher while Wagner plays 3B. So the ACC decides the the guy about to be drafter top 5 in the country and most likely 2nd or 3rd out of college players isn't the best player in the...

    2022 Season

    The folks at D1 baseball are pretty knowledgeable but when it comes to NCAA tourney seedings and placement they are just making wild *** guesses that are no more accurate than those made by anyone else. They have no insights to what the committee is thinking. I remember a few years ago when we...

    2022 ACC Baseball

    I think I read somewhere that 15-15 would seed better than 14-14 because of having more wins in conference regardless of the fact both teams are .500 in conference.

    2022 Season

    I'll take that all day long. Would be cool to play in Stillwater. Great fans that are loud and fill the place up. Would be a great atmosphere. At this point just want to be anywhere as long as we are in.

    Pitt - Final Series of Regular Season (Th/Fri/Sat)

    Amazing that they can have a winning record in the ACC but only be 7-5 against teams with RPI's above 200. Then again they had the opportunity to pad their win totals by going 6-2 against the bottom 3 teams in the league. While we didn't pad our stats against the bottom tier (didn't get to play...

    Pitt - Final Series of Regular Season (Th/Fri/Sat)

    The downside, as far as Tech and the ACC Tournament is concerned, is if we come in seeded as the 3rd team in our bracket, the only way we can move forward is to sweep both games in bracket play.
