Ys, but WN is also not taking into account the difference in ballparks. There will more fly balls that sneak out, and hence more runs, this weekend. If we meet again in Durham, it will be a low scoring game.

Well, showing 2-1 GT right now. Winning Fri 7-5 and Sun 7-2, losing Sat 5-6. http://warrennolan.com/baseball/2019/team-predict-schedule?team=Georgia-Tech
F if I know his algorithm. Maybe it varies by alcohol content?
Gotta play the games. I'll watch Friday, miss Sat and listen Sun hopefully. IIWII.

Game notes have Curry listed to start Friday. We'll see.

Psyche? Or real? Agree that we'll see. My professional opinion is that when I saw X clapping over his head with the rest of the team, he is fine.
Probably throw a 110 pitch complete game no-no. Or get chased in the first inning. I can't decide.

I wouldn't mind seeing him go 4 or 5 then give the ball to Willingham to finish it off.

I agree. I don't pay any attention to weekend "projections". These are college kids. Most prognosticators can't predict games played by professional athletes, let alone college kids.
Although I do have my own biases, that make me think we'll win or lose on a given weekend.

Somehow we're up to #17 in RPI this morning. If we don't play again, I think we can get to #1.

LOL, I think it was because Creighton dropped to #18 due to their opponents performance yesterday. Here's the RPI numbers and shows how close things are from RPI #14 to #23. http://warrennolan.com/baseball/2019/team-impact?team=Georgia-Tech
Today's game we get 43 points for the win and lose 50 for the loss. Only need to get 473 points to #1!
Again, no need to stress over the numbers. Either we win and go up or we lose and go down. (My statement of the obvious in the tradition of Yogi.)

Damn do I want to go 2-1 this weekend! I almost would be okay with 1-2 if we get the 1 today. I think that’s my blood pressure talking to me.

A sweep could potentially put us ahead of the cesspool prior to our game next week if they drop 2 to vandy this weekend.

A sweep, and we're probably #11 in the country in RPI and in the polls.
Strangely, that Warren Nolan stuff predicts we sweep UNCheat (albeit by like 1 run every game, which means we probably have a 30% chance in his calculations of getting swept ourselves).
What I find very odd is that his calculations expect us to go 1-5 against BC and VT in the upcoming series. Those are 2 of the bottom 5 teams in the ACC.

Game notes still list our pitchers as X/Thomas/Hurter. Are these updated, or is X still rumored to be out today?

From what little inside info I have, it doesn’t look good for X pitching tonight. And this one caught me by surprise—Hurter may not be pitching Sunday due to some arm pain...
Don’t shoot the messenger and I hope the info I was given doesn’t come to fruition and both guys are good to go this weekend.

My suspicion is those notes are "fire & forget"... definitely not updated ...& I'd say the info on who is starting is simply obligatory. Especially the way it plays out for Tech this week. Xay sort of a gameday decision based on what CDH said midweek.

We won't.
[I say that simply to counter the potential jinx initiated by your question... cannot leave these things to chance]

If it wasn't mentioned above, I dont see this as a game X HAS to pitch in. This is why we have other guys. I wouldnt even throw him if he came in @ 95 %.
I have that much confidence in our starters and we really will need X to be our work horse down the stretch.
