With our powers combined... we can get the record of the VT/Radford series correct!

Didn't Radford beat VT 12-11?

The RPI is also such a cruel creature. You probably know this, but it a win on the road as 1.3 wins, and a win at home as 0.7 wins. Dropping the series finale to Wake cost us over 10 spots in the RPI. But conversely, turning a couple of those road losses against high RPI teams (UNC, Clemson...

Not the person you asked, but I think it's instructive to look at some past years. Here are some resumes from the past few years in the ACC. Which ones do you think get in? Team 1: 32-23 (13-17), 6-13 vs top 50, RPI 38 Team 2: 34-24 (13-16), 9-15 vs top 50, RPI 28 Team 3: 36-23 (13-16), 15-22...

Interesting to note that the ACC is currently the #4 RPI ranked conference. SEC is blowing everyone else out of the water.

Do you think we get in with a .500 ACC record and ~50 RPI? I don't think we do. That's what we're looking at if we win both the Duke and UVA series 2-1, lose to UGA, and sweep Radford/SEMO. I'm also scared of @UVA - they just got swept by Clemson by a total margin of 3 runs, losing three 1-run...

I don’t agree. This series was our best chance to sweep an ACC foe - instead, we still have to win both ACC series to get to a .500 conference record (which I think is a must for a NCAAT berth). Additionally, these home losses to low-RPI teams hurt. We're down to 55(!) in the RPI today, from 42...

Just got back from the game. Mercifully left after the 7th. Some random thoughts: 1. Crowd wasn't terrible for a rescheduled game. Not up to what GT/UGA games at the Rusty C used to be, but not bad numbers. Not a lot of energy, though. 2. I thought it was pretty obvious that Hurter should've...

Looking at the Warren Nolan RPI predictions- the RPI predictions have us going 6-3 in ACC play and 5-1 out of conference (splitting UGA). If we do that, we will be at #39 in the RPI and 33-23 (15-15 ACC). If we finish that way - 11-4 in our next 15 - I think we'd be right on the bubble. I also...

At some point, on-the-field results have to be more important, right? Honest question- does anyone see a Hall-led team winning a regional?

I’m going. We’ll see how many innings go by before I regret it. :unsure:

Our RPI still went up 5 points since Saturday, even with a 1-3 week. We pretty much had a chance for free RPI - playing a top 10 team on the road. Couldn't take advantage.

I'll put my chart up again. I have the 2018 data in, although it's (obviously) provisional. It assumes we'll play 3 games in the ACCT, no NCAAT (we won't be projected in by anyone at this point), and that our winning % doesn't change for the remainder of the year.

10-1 now, bottom 7. Datoc throwing batting practice out there. We move to 22-19 with this one. Have to go 7-8 in our remaining 15 games to get a winning season. Can we do it?

We go to the bullpen, which immediately gives up a 2-run HR. So predictable it's comical at this point. Thank goodness for conference expansion - without ND, VT, and BC, we'd be out of the ACCT.

VERY nice 5-4-3 double play to bail us out. Waddell makes a diving catch but gets up in time to double up. Time to score some runs...

Bases loaded with 1 out for UNC in the B6. If we want to have a change to salvage a game from this series, have to hold them here.

2-0 UNC through 2.5 innings. No baserunners for GT one time through the order.

If Danny Hall would consistently do the opposite of what he thinks he should in high stakes in-game decisions, this team would be a national seed.

I don't know. I could see us muddling through in ACC play but losing a couple to low RPI teams (KSU, Radford, UVa/WF), giving us a near-.500 ACC record but RPI in the low 40s-50s. I don't think the strength of the ACC would be enough this year to get us in at that point.
