GT vs ODU

[Eli]

14 times last season we gave up 3 or less runs, 2 against Radford in the first series, so yeah would like to see it continue and become a trend. I do think this ODU team is better than Radford.

Tech used 16 pitchers and gave up 9 runs this weekend. Color me optimistic but I can’t recall a time in the last 5+ years we’ve used 16 pitchers and been this effective against any opponent..

Definitely good to see, but it wasn't exactly weather that favored offense. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but just saying that I'm cautiously optimistic instead of overly optimistic.

You got me curious, not sure about the number of pitcher used but:

We only gave up 11 against Miami last year, but lost game 1 of that series 6-4.
Gave up 9 the year before to Pitt, but lost the middle game 5-0.
Year before that only gave up 8 to Gardner Webb.
Year before that swept Nc St giving up 9. Also, gave up 8 that year to Wake but lost opener 6-2.

Most year we had at least 1 game where our pitching staff got absolutely demolished.

For context this weekend has been a solar eclipse for our pitching staff

Encouraging, no doubt. But being a GT fan means we are just waiting for Lucy to pull back the football while we all go “Arrrrgggh!”

Has something changed at ramblinwreck website? Are we on store for even "less" coverage of baseball?

No story on Sunday's game. No post game video interview (ie press conference) at all.. all weekend.

Anybody know?

I stopped visiting ramblinwreck.com years ago. Twitter, YouTube and GTSwarm. I love GT baseball more than the football program so unfortunately it takes a lot of different avenues to satisfy me ha

Not sure about ramblinwreck, but Danny Hall and Nathan Waugh interview is up on Youtube. I saw Ramblinwreck had Friday's box score posted for Saturday for a while.

That's odd. I find pretty much all of the interviews, box scores, photos, plus stats and little factoids on ramblinwreck.com, usually a few hours after the game has ended. For highlights I do find Twitter to be a better source

Marshall and Western Michigan hurt our RPI by both going 0-4 this past weekend. Georgia Southern did sweep 3-0 their home series vs. Western Carolina. I'll let someone else start a thread for that one. Our schedule does not look too potent before Virginia Tech. Just win baby!

Western Michigan plays at Louisville this upcoming weekend, so that will be another measuring stick. They then plays us the following weekend.

Uh oh... now we're naming names. I'll go on record... before every game/series, I expect we'll win.

But did you go on the record for this one? Maybe I missed it.

I noticed that too. May be just an oversight this weekend. If it continues to ACC play, then that's not good. They do have a snippet story and the obligatory Hall interview and player(s) interviews. https://ramblinwreck.com/jackets-sweep-old-dominion/

Contrast that to the basketball coverage and win over Cal. More videos of the actual game. More money, more coverage. https://ramblinwreck.com/jackets-sweep-old-dominion/

I have a D1 subscription and last year they had an SEC Extra for more money. This year they expanded it to ACC so I pay more per month. I'm so cheap, I cancel soon after ordering and when the months up, don't renew until I miss the coverage.

Part of an overall trend of monetizing the internet? Consumers got so used to free stuff that it's hard to pay. Part of why I like DeepSeek so much with their open software. Not only did the Chinese do a better development job for far less money, but by making it free they have forced the other big players to do the same. There is far too much money/power concentrated in those companies. {End of rant.}

48-0 would be pretty damn terrific.

Especially if we win a regional after that.

After being a subscriber the past 3 years, I cancelled my subscription when they did this. Yes, there's more overall coverage, but they've also shifted a lot of the coverage that would've been available to subscribers in the past to the PLUS plan now. I'm not paying $15 a month for less coverage than I've gotten in the past and I'm definitely not going to pay an extra $7 a month for a little new coverage. I'll sit this one out.
