2020 ACC Baseball

Virginia wins 7-3 over #8 NCSU

UVa is going to be tough. Hard to guess who is going to win Coastal this year. Right now my guess is Duke or Miami (when not wearing gold colored glasses).

The ACC will be one huge dogfight this season.

Be very afraid of Duke pitching... particularly Jarvis (Fri guy). He has a perfect game already & was perfect thru 6.2 today. Perfect game broken up with 2 out in 7th by a strikeout/WP batter reached.

I know I had read and heard about Dukes pitching, but I saw Jarvis had 12Ks yesterday. Wow. I haven’t seen him pitch, but sounds like that’s def going to be a tough series, especially with us striking out so much.

ND takes the series @ UNC! Ouch


WF knocks of Louisville

Duke beat FSU again 4-3. Fair to say Duke's pitching was much less dominant. 8 hits, 6 BB, and 3 HBP. They easily could have given up more runs.

We're not the only ones struggling scoring runners, but hopefully we figure it out.

Duke is going to be trouble. Not only are their Friday and Saturday starters elite, but here's their reliever Girard against FSU the last two days:

"Girard is proving that his preseason All-America billing was warranted; what a valuable weapon he is at the back end of the Duke bullpen. On Friday, Girard took over for Jarvis at the start of the eighth inning and proceeded to strike out the side in order, then fanned two more in the ninth to earn a two-inning save. He threw 33 pitches in that outing, then bounced back Saturday and was even better in a five-out save.

“We didn’t know if he would be live today until after he went through his throwing, he threw 28 pitches today,” Duke coach Chris Pollard said. “After he went through his pregame throwing, he went to Coach [Dusty] Blake and said, ‘I feel better today than I did yesterday.’ I think that’s what’s gonna make him a good reliever in pro ball, because he is resilient. He bounces back really, really well, that’s why he’s been really good in that spot for us. Because he’s not BSing, his stuff is better a lot of times on the second day than it is on the first day.”"

Duke could win the ACC this season with their overpowering pitching.

Duke pitching is solid, but you gotta score to win. I haven't watched any of their games, but Cooper Stinson's last couple stat lines are not terrifying. Yesterday here nearly had 2 runners per inning. Also has 3 WP in the last two appearances.

We've seen the Jackets lose a game on one bad inning when a pitcher lost control, and nearly lose some others cause of it.

A good approach at the plate, combined with improving making contact with runners on, and I like our chances. No matter what, I can't see how we won't be in it late in all 3 games and so far we have done well in those situations.

Duke could win the ACC this season with their overpowering pitching.

It's early. But yes after almost 4 weeks of play, they are up there.

But slumps happen and injuries happen, and I'm not rooting for anyone to get injured. Just happens.

They may not lose a series this year.

UNC has problems

Duh.

FSU is probably good. We are going to have to scrape out a win down there next week somehow.

....... FSU is probably good. We are going to have to scrape out a win down there next week somehow.

Oops. Just saw that FSU plays Florida on Tuesday and Illinois State on Wednesday. That may help.

We pay 13-3 Auburn who hasn't lost a mid-week game. (Someone else can start that post)

I'm not looking to downplay the level of competition, but as was mentioned in the Auburn thread, they haven't beat anyone yet. Something like a 15-58 (per @FredJacket) record for teams they've beaten.

FSU should have a much harder midweek schedule, and I'm hoping it bleeds into their weekend match up too.
