Any early talk about whether the Friday games might be moved to an earlier start to avoid rain complications? Current weather projections aren't great for baseball.

I’d love to have a guy like Kapa to add to what we already have. Out of character for him to get himself in trouble but like the way he got himself out of it.

So VT tried to hold their ace who'd won 4 straight conference starts for us and ND starts the top of the first with walk, RBI double, 2-run homer, single, single. Starter yanked.

Well, VT and ND are trading blows here in CLT, currently a play is under review and the two are tied 5-5 in the bottom of the third. Ethan Ball has two homers for VT and Mark Quatrani has two RBIS for ND.

VT has a heck of a hitter in the Frosh. He can bomb it.
Good game going, could be interesting to see the final score. I didn’t know that they saved that pitcher for us, smart move, IF they win. 🤔

Announcers really talking up VaTech. “If you’re the 2 seed you must feel like you got the worst draw in the world”

Yawn… bring em on

VT with Renfrow on the mound will be a good test. He’s a talented arm. Struggled early this year but has been really good his last 4 ACC starts (28.1 IP, 4 ER).

What is the scout on VT? Don’t know anything about them this year
tough to know because they were so very mid against tough competition the first half of the year (and also a bad series loss to Stanford) and then beat up on the ACC's cupcakes the second half. a lot of their numbers look pretty bad because of that first half and they've been playing better than them for the last month+, but it's hard to tell how much better because the competition has been so much worse.

pitching-wise, we'll face renfrow tomorrow, he'll be a top-100 draft pick this year but has been hit around on occasion - like somebody said earlier, his last 3 acc starts have been his best, though including 8 scoreless vs State. other than him, the rest of the staff has a walk problem even when they're decent. staff ERA ~6.50 is really bad.

The Heels started an ACC tourney game at the DBAP in 2011 at 12:08am!
Had just graduated, was at TOPO with some guys, saw the game was going to start on TV, we had one guy who hadn't been drinking. Left and got to the game at about the top of the 3rd. Then more rain came in like the 5th or something. Those couple of innings were fun, at least.

Yup. It was an impulse decision for me to drive over from my home near Southpoint. Patrick Johnson was on his way to a possible no-hitter when they stopped the game for drizzle (which ended completely by the time we got to the adjacent parking deck).

GT’s ace leaves with a blister on his finger in the 4th inning. Basically the one thing you’re trying to avoid this week if you’re a team like them or us.

Wow not good but they have a week it should be good by then hopefully. With the weather up that way turning wet I wonder if we see Lynch after DeCaro tomorrow to make sure that they both get live innings?
