Going to speak it into existence: let's keep this going - ACC Basketball championship first, then this tournament, and finally football to close out the year.


I've said a few times and I'll repeat it here. If NC State wins the ACC title in men's basketball, baseball, and football all in 2024 I'll shave my beard and color my hair blond.

I thought I was safe because of men's basketball but the Wolfpack shocked the world.

In the meaningless games can you just forfeit and not play? No reason to waste any pitcher.

Perfect game for Heath Andrews, Hollis Fanning, Garrett Payne, John Miralia, etc to get some innings.

I don't recall anyone ever forfeiting. I think most coaches are torn, they aren't going to use their best arms etc, but I don't think any of them want their teams in the mindset of a game not mattering while they're trying to win the tournament. I've been a vocal critic of the format, and we've talked about it often, I'm just not sure of what the solution should be.

Duke and Virginia Tech will play each other before NC State faces them. The Wolfpack will then know who it needs to beat to advance. It's an advantage each of the top-seeds in the pods enjoy.

My hunch is NC State will play Duke in the late game on Friday, akin to the Wolfpack's matchup with UNC in 2021.

In that scenario, NCSU best benefits from a Virginia Tech win over Duke in my opinion. The Pack would then play the Hokies on (probably) Thursday morning or afternoon with a chance to advance. If the Pack wins, they get two days (and one meaningless game) to prepare for the semifinal.
Rob, so you are thinking we have the 7:00 slot? I am hoping for 11:00 or 3:00


NC State usually gets the late games because they generally have the best fan support.

Just bought my tickets for Wednesday night front row behind dugout on 1st base line. Hoping that's the Pack side! Also mistakenly bought tickets for Tuesday night by clicking the wrong link. If HokieWolf wants those to watch Duke vs VT let me know. Trying to see if I can get a refund on those.

It is so tough to predict baseball pool play-you face one hot pitcher to start pool play and you are toast

I think we are playing well enough to pull it off

Yeah, I agree, baseball is just so different from other sports. I still can't believe Virginia won the national title in 2015.

Are they vehemently agreeing with each other?

Rob: wow, nc state skipped out on playing 10, 11, and 12. That's a strong schedule!
Corey: But we also swept 13 and 14, but other than that the rest of the schedule was really strong!!

Projection and clout chasing.

He tries to initiate by quote-tweeting and then he admits his error with a response tweet.

If you are going to admit that you're wrong do it with the same pub that you sought when you tweeted the mistake in the first place.

There are people that are bad at Twitter, and then there's whatever Cory is. Guy is just a total try hard who constantly whiffs.

I've wondered if he is hurt or the staff just doesn't trust him?

Odd to see him just not throw at all this year with the hype he had coming in.

I went back and looked at the box score for UNCG. He pitched 1/3 of an inning and gave up 4 earned runs. Consiglio took the loss giving up 8 runs (7 earned).

He's been dressed and sitting in the dugout and he appears to be engaged with the team pretty well. My guess is the staff just doesn't feel like he's ready.

We are hosting. If we don't play into a national seed, getting matched up with the 7 or 8 national seed for potential Supers is massive.

FSU -- has weekend series W over just 1 NCAAT lock this year. Could see them easily losing at home in Regionals especially if they send LSU there.
Oregon State -- same thing.
Indiana State -- they couldn't even host Supers last year due to scheduling conflicts in Terre Haute.

Those are your 3 contenders for the 7/8 seeds now, I think.

Treat all pool play as must wins this week so the RPI can grow. Even if don't achieve Top-8, getting the 9 or 10 seed would be fantastic.

Maybe he gets another chance in the ACC game that is meaningless against Duke or VT.

That will likely be a bullpen day with some of the arms the staff has no plans on using the rest of the season.

Command isn't where it needs to be. He was the definition of a metrics guy. He has to take the metrics and turn himself into a pitcher. He had a 2.77 ERA as a HS senior. For those that don't follow HS ball closely, that is not a good ERA for a P5 commit. He had 75 hits plus BB in 60IP. What they like is his projectability, but he has to learn how to pitch.

I don't really agree with this. Obviously you'd like to win, but you have to do it with your offense. It would be foolish to pitch anyone named Highfill, Fritton, Whitaker, Consiglio, Marohn, Dudan, or Smith in a game that means nothing to the ACC tournament.

Win the ACC by having your best arms available in games that matter and the Top 8 will take care of itself.

I will be there Wed and Thursday for the VT and Duke games but probably not for Saturday

Good points and want to preserve those guys. Love to win it with the bats obviously, and VT seems vulnerable with thin pitching.

Maybe we root for a VT win over Duke so we can pocket the semis-clinching/RPI stabilizing W first, then are free to punt the Duke game.
