    Braves Offseason

    Lopez "extension" is really just moving money around. The Braves agreed to guarantee his 2027 option in exchange for Lopez agreeing to move $3M of 2025 salary into 2026. Bummer's extension also guaranteed his two options while moving 2025 salary into 2026, but the final number is slightly...

    2025 Schedule Released

    Thanks!!!!....I wonder if they edited the schedule, or if I was having a really bad reading comprehension problem yesterday. I specifically checked to see if we had a home/home with State (as well as Kennesaw St, Mercer, and Southern) and confirmed that we did with all but Southern. Now it is as...

    2025 Schedule Released

    I wish this were true, but it's actually the other way around as far as results (doesn't seem to impact recruiting much either way). In the 4 years we played a weekend series, UGa swept in 2024, took 2 out of 3 in 2023, we took 2 out of 3 in 2022, and UGa swept in 2020. In total, we were 3-9, or...

    2025 Schedule Released

    Did we already know there would be no on campus games with UGa? That is really disappointing to me. I wonder what drove that change? Also, only one game against Georgia Southern in Statesboro. They aren't coming to Atlanta? I guess we are trying to welcome West Georgia to Div 1 and had to drop a...

    Fall Ball Schedule

    I also have no inside info, but I have to agree here, zero playing time says something is up besides just getting surpassed by incoming freshmen or transfers. We had 6 different players get starts at 2B/3B/SS. Are we certain he wasn't injured? Are we certain he was even on the team? I know of a...

    Fall Ball Schedule

    Jaros also had some injury problems that (I think) ended his season early. As to why he transferred, no, I don't think that info is public knowledge. Finateri, I normally would agree that it was mutual except that we don't seem to have much depth on our pitching staff. But that's OK, because we...

    Fall Ball Schedule

    Ryan Jaros is probably the most impactful transfer portal loss from last season. He transferred to NC State. I will be interested to see how he develops. On the pitching side Aeden Finateri transferred to Alabama. Those are probably the two biggest impact losses. Personally I would have liked to...

    Game winner: Jamal Haynes

    If we want to drop this, then fine, but I'm truly interested in understanding your thought process on this. I have watched the play in slo-mo, and I don't see anyone playing poor gap assignment. They were lined up in a 4-3 with the LBs staggered to the wide side of the field. The right side of...

    Game winner: Jamal Haynes

    By definition you can't block everyone. 11 > 9. So, in fact you can't block 2 guys. A good runner should be able to beat any tackler 1:1

    Fake defensive injuries

    Instead of potentially punishing legitimate injuries by forcing a player to sit out the rest of the series, why not address the underlying issue, which is that the offense controls the tempo and there is nothing the defense can do about it? I haven't thought this all the way through, just...

    New Pro Jackets Progress

    To be fair on this one, Campbell was injured most of his time at Tech. He missed all of his 1st season with injury and missed about a month of his 2nd season. If my memory serves me correctly, he was getting better and better as that season progressed.

    Conference Realignment

    It's a little bit of an inside joke. If you've ever lived in Texas you will know they (at least not the natives, this may be changing with recent population shifts) don't consider themselves to be part of the south or the southwest. They are Texas, a region unto their own. The south is east of...

    Perfect Games top classes of 2024

    Quantity is certainly a good thing, don't get me wrong. But quality should be a larger component. Most GMs will tell you the team that wins the trade is usually the one who gets the best player, not the one who gets the most players.

    Perfect Games top classes of 2024

    I hope they are right this time, but one of these days these top classes need to actually convert to wins. I would be interested in knowing their criteria for ranking classes. How can LSU have the best pitcher in the class, three of the top 5 players in the class, and not be the #1 class? If...

    Joe Hamilton will no longer be on tech radio broadcast

    Don't tell anyone, but I really like Jeff Dantzler on the UGa baseball broadcasts. He and his partner (David Johnson, I want to say???) are very entertaining, and other than always calling us just "Tech", never "Georgia" Tech, they are respectful towards our program. I know they hold Wiley...

    Scott Stricklin to be New Director of Operations

    It could be that this isn't a position that warrants any kind of announcement. As described above, it isn't an on-field position and doesn't really carry a ton of responsibility. Tyler Gibson was in this role last season. Perhaps he is a household name to you guys, but his is a name I didn't...

    Quiet in here. Off season check in thread

    I think you know this, but I’m wondering based on your replies. CFDH will still be the head coach. This job that Stricklin is rumored for is an off-field role in the program. It does put him high on the list for potential replacements when the time comes, but is a minor role for this next season.

    Quiet in here. Off season check in thread

    Kendall Rogers does not frivolously post these kind of things. I would be very surprised if it isn't true. I said it jokingly, but I think it is accurate. Everyone who would announce it is in Ireland.

    Probably everybody is in Ireland.

    Quiet in here. Off season check in thread

    I love it!!! I truly believe that Stricklin is a top shelf college baseball coach. I know he carries the burden of having been fired by UGa, but IMO we could do MUCH, MUCH worse with a CFDH replacement.
