[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 422357, member: 322"] D1 Baseball has a very glowing article about how Duke is putting it all together as the season goes on. (Behind paywall.) We'll see how Duke does this weekend with UNC @ Duke. They have hitting coming on. Starting pitching isn't their strength, but have 5 very good relievers... And defense is great with a .982 fielding %. They are looking to easily have their best season in Duke baseball history. And their coach isn't happy saying that they haven't played their best baseball yet and put it all together. Anyway, here's a freewheeling free article from D1. They are the best I've found .... [URL]https://d1baseball.com/columns/off-top-head-week-13/[/URL] Here's what they say about us: [I][B]– GEORGIA TECH [/B] [B]Numbers:[/B] 27-22, 11-13 ACC, RPI No. 48, ISR No. 59 [B]Pluses: [/B] The Techsters have played an unusually tough non-conference slate. Which is good because I’ve ragged on them for a weak non-conference schedule plenty of times over the years. No problem this year. Just over half of their wins have come against Top 100 competition. With a roadie at Virginia and a home weekend vs. Duke, their RPI should improve before the ACC tourney starts. [B]Minuses: [/B] The Jackets are good. They’ve got a lot of quality wins on their ledger. But they do not have a winning series against an ACC team with a winning mark. They have also only won a grand total of five games away from Russ Chandler Stadium. Yuck.

[B]What They Must Do: [/B] The Boyd Nation “Needs Report” shows the Jackets can get into the Top 32 by getting two or three road wins. That means a series win at Virginia is nearly a must.
