Rainy in the AM, should stop at noon. Cloudy all day. Not cold though.
Hopefully the wind doesn't whip around the stands like it did on Wednesday. The forecasted temp during the game today is almost identical to what we had Wednesday, and it was pretty damn chilly and the stands.

It appears there is no line on our game today. Considering Le Moyne is ranked 307 out of 308 Div 1 teams in the RPI today, it might be difficult to correctly handicap the game.

Anyone know the history here and why we scheduled them? Never want to overlook anyone but stands out as out of the norm for a weekend series. We’ll get plenty of tests in the ACC so definitely understand.
Tommy asked Coach Forbes about it in their weekly discussion:
“Coach Jackson does the scheduling so he just said we’re playing LeMoyne so I said ok, sounds good.”
Also made mention of a connection to Steve Owens who used to coach there years ago when they were good but didn't really say how that that may have lead to the series being scheduled.

I am curious about Amos Rich. Forbes mentioned his name in one of the interviews with TA in the preseason, and we have not seen him yet. I am hoping this will be a low-stress situation to get some of these arms some work.

Looking at Le Moyne’s record and opponents…seems we won’t get much competition. Maybe we had another mid major or semi quality team lined up and it fell through late leaving us scrambling to fill the schedule? Thinking anyone on the roster (that is available and healthy) will see some action this weekend. Would be nice to see Hargett, Black, Sowers get some extended innings for a little rhythm and confidence. Rich and any other rookie arms getting an appearance as well as any pitchers needing to work on mechanics/trusting a new pitch, etc would help too.

Probably wanted an easy series after hosting IU and playing ECU before Conference play begins. This will be the only easy weekend of the season. Look at who other power 4 southern teams have played so far . The Gators have 3 cake weekends before SEC play and really the only tough series they play before conference is Miami.

I personally don’t understand the benefit of scheduling a weekend series like this. It’s only downside from a metrics/postseason perspective. I wish we would play in one of the competitive early season tournaments.

We’ve played 2 weekend series, 1 against a potential regional host and 1 against a team that will vie for a regional spot. We’re more than likely not going to give home games to play in one of those when our schedule within the conference is so tough.

The early season tournaments kind of suck, in my opinion. They don’t really prepare you for how you’d manage a weekend series and it’s so early in the season there’s no real way to say it prepares you for a regional. I guess they make money off them? But it’s not like we need a metrics boost playing in the ACC and we don’t have to go out of our way to find good opponents locally to play throughout the season.

Have two available for y’all in 114 for today and tomorrow.

probably do giveaways to select games where they won’t be used otherwise. So let me know if anyone needs a couple.
I’ll take for tomorrow

Any word if the game has any chance of being delayed. Been crappy weather all day in chapel hill but not sure if they would have already made that call.

Granted the rain has basically stopped for about an hour or so

Playing this team 3 times is way worse than the early season tournaments.
