Ut-oh...are we cursed or is this a good sign...ranked 17

D1 Baseball does not put Tech in Top25. Interesting Wake is #20 in this poll; but didn't make Top 40 (well deep in 'receiving votes' list) in Collegiate Baseball poll (where Tech was #17).
With that in mind... perhaps this is a good year for Tech not getting scheduled to meet these 3 ACC teams.... all predicted to be pretty strong (WF, FSU, NCST)

Wow, the planets are aligning already!!
No inside info—Has there been any indication from anyone with direct involvement from the team on who our closer might be this year? Were there any clues from the fall game(s) or was that more of a 2-3 innings per pitcher type of deal. The problem with defensive errors and missed double plays (and the maddening overuse of the sacrifice bunt IMHO) notwithstanding, lack of a solid closer (which I guess falls under lack of quality pitching depth) can be a really devastating thing. Maybe it is just the "obviousness" of a blown save .... even the most novice of fan sees it and feels it ...... but it seems like over the last couple of years there have been games that changed the whole momentum of our season (NCSU anyone?) that we lost because we couldn't close the deal.
Starting to feel like the perfect amount of "not that sexy" & minimal kisses of death. Yet another poll we don't crack Top 25.
