    Anyone need 4 tickets?

    Just saw this. I assume someone already claimed them. If not I would love them.

    Based on the DBo handle I'm guessing it's a big time pitcher.

    Complimentary Guest Tickets - NIU, KSU

    Looking to take my grandson to the opening game with NIU. He is 9 years old and a huge fan but this will be his first opportunity to see Tech since he normally plays his youth games on Saturdays. So anyone willing to share two seats to the opener would be a true blessing. Please hit me up on...

    2021 MLB Draft

    I seriously doubt Boras would let a client like Rocker get out from under him. I am sure both money has been exchanged and a contract has already been signed.

    Offseason - Baseball

    He hit .444 by getting 12 hits in 11 games in 2020. In 2021 he got a grand total of 9 hits in 50 games. Against us he went 1 for 6. A lot of high rated recruits don't pan out in college. I am sure it is his intent to come to Tech and win a starting job and I hope he does so well he wins it. But...

    Offseason - Baseball

    I'm curious why you are willing to bet Borden starts for us? Last year he batted .220 and only started 8 games for a team that failed to make the tournament. Hardly stats that deserve being written into the starting lineup. My guess is that Campbell starts at SS and Compton at 3B leaving...

    2021 MLB Draft

    Campbell is a highly rated shortstop 2021 recruit with speed and a bat to go with superior fielding skills. I fully expect him to step in for Waddell unless something unforeseen happens.

    2021 MLB Draft

    Unless Compton's defense improves dramatically I don't see him unseating Jenkins at 1B. I also think Anderson's bat gets him in the lineup most likely at 2B though I can see him maybe at 3B if they decide to move JHM to 2B. I also believe both Reid and Compton's power bats will stay in the...

    COVID at CWS

    Sports Illustrated just reported that the eight positive Covid tests that NC State had were for the new Delta variant which is supposed to be much more contagious. This could explain their reaction and ultimate decision to expel NCS from the tournament. It could also explain how the positive...

    COVID at CWS

    Before reading this article I was on the fence as to who to blame for this farce. Now, in my opinion, I have little sympathy for NC State. If I infer correctly from this article, almost half of the NC State team was not vaccinated. While it appears that two members of the team that were...

    Summer League Ball

    Agreed. He has an elite bat and would provide unusual power numbers that you rarely see from a second baseman. He just needs to learn to shorten his swing with two strikes and be satisfied with making hard contact when behind in the count much like JHM.

    2021 MLB Draft

    I'm not being selfish. Just speaking the truth. I would like to continue watching them play for Tech. What's wrong with that? I'm not wishing them ill will if they decide to move on. I know how much a Tech degree means because I have one which is why I said what I did. If you can read you would...

    2021 MLB Draft

    Not me. I want them all back until the ACC or NCAA tells them they have to go. Sure the PC thing to say is I want them to do what is best for them. It would be crass to say anything other than that. But I am a rabid Tech fan who will watch every game they play while Yellow Jackets. Once they...

    2021 Baseball Season

    After the Covid exception year where teams were allowed to exceed the normal roster limits, It could also be a case of some coaching staffs being up front with their kids and telling them that they are not part of the reduced roster for the coming season and giving them a chance to find another...

    SI Story on Pitch Doctoring and Foreign Substances in MLB

    To me personally it feels like the major sports have gone the way of professional wrestling where it is about the almighty entertainment dollar and no longer about the purity of sport. As a kid growing up we all knew that wrestling wasn't "real" and held on to the belief that traditional sports...

    Returning players for 2021-22

    Unless I counted wrong that is 15 from the SEC, 11 from the ACC and a grand total of 5 from the mighty BIG10 that we heard so much about last season. That must mean most of their talent was young or maybe the league wasn't near as talented as the media made them out to be.

    NCAA Baseball Tournament

    So if ND wins tomorrow that puts 3 ACC teams in the CWS and only 2 SEC teams (one of which was guaranteed since LSU and TN played each other). Does anyone think that the narrative will change about the ACC being mediocre? Not a chance....they will just come up with excuses like "the SEC wore...

    NCAA Baseball Tournament

    Isn't it strange that when the SEC teams beat each other in football it's because the conference is so strong and deep and they get rewarded for that in the rankings as well as RPI. When the same thing happens to ACC teams in baseball the narrative changes to it's a weak conference where any...

    Coach K to Retire After Next Season

    Weak people are the ones that cheat to achieve a goal rather than maintaining a high moral character. Rather than selling the recruits on his ability as a coach and the virtues of Duke as a university, he decided to take the easy way out and pay for the top players like Zion. There is nothing to...

    GTWBB

    Excellent fundamentals in that video. Hands always in the right place, good footwork, nice job hedging on the picks and denying the entry pass into the lane resulting in a 3 second call. Amazing what good coaching can do and this video is a good example of that. Note that two of the players on...
