Is there a path to the regular season title with a split of the last 2 games?

I think a sweep wins the ACC
ACC STANDINGS
FSU: 16-8, .667
NCSU: 16-9, .640
GT: 17-10, .630
UNC: 16-10, .615

FINAL SERIES
Stan at NCSU
UNC at FSU
GT at Duke

-If FSU sweeps, they win ACC

-If FSU wins 2/3, NCSU must sweep to win ACC

-If FSU wins 1/3, NCSU must win same # of games (min: 2) as GT to win ACC

If UNC sweeps FSU, the Tar Heels finish 19-10 in ACC play (.655). To win the ACC, NC State would then also have to sweep Stanford to finish 19-9 (.679).

There are no other circumstances where FSU or UNC sweeps each other that NCSU can win the league.

Nick Dugan is on paper their best pitcher -- undefeated 6-0 and the only one on the team with a sub-5 ERA

Do we expect the same approach from them tonight as they prepare to go all in on the tourney next week -- total bullpen game after the starter goes a couple?
Dig a lil deeper on him...

He's only thrown in 3 games against ACC teams.

UNC - https://gostanford.com/boxscore/24899
Wake - https://gostanford.com/boxscore/24922
BC - https://gostanford.com/boxscore/24925

He was god awful against unc and wake, pretty good against a not good BC team.

I would assume they keep throwing Johnny Wholestaff to be prepared for the tourney next week.

Their coach made it pretty clear that all they really care about is Tuesday. I bet they run it back tonight the same way and pitch differently on Saturday with the rest timelines being what they are.

Alex, why haven't you been on any of the IPS baseball pods? I know you jumped on the with the Pack Homer guys a few times this year but always enjoy your addition to the pods along with James and Ethan.
Go Pack!

If NC State sweeps & wins last two games they finish 19-9, .679.
If Georgia Tech sweeps & wins last two games they finish 20-10, .667
If UNC sweeps & wins last two games they finish 19-10, .655.
If FSU wins last two against UNC, they finish 18-9, .667.

*** Losing Friday scenarios:
If NC State splits last two they finish 18-10, .643.
If Georgia Tech splits last two they finish 19-11, .633.
If UNC & FSU split last two FSU finishes 17-10, .630. UNC finishes 18-11, .621.

Just win baby!

James and I were talking about that the other day. Mostly timing. 9-month-old at the house + some work stuff has limited my time. And I mean, the Pack Homer guys are way better than hanging out with Ethan

Hopefully we can get something done together after we lock in a title.

Had to go back and watch the last 4 innings because I was watching the Canes.

Great job by the boys. Did not panic when they were scoreless then DeCriscio came up with a clutch hit after an error.

Marohn pitched well and then Anderson Nance comes in was pretty much lights out. Stanford hit a couple of hard balls but Nance was in total control. The young man continues to impress with his demeanor and his nasty stuff on the mound.

Big bomb by Ty Head after he made an outstanding catch in left center. Novi follows it up with a bigger bomb. That was a well hit ball!

Got the first one. Heels helped us out in Tallahassee, so it's right in front of us. Let's win tomorrow night then see where we sit on Saturday. Right now I believe we control our own destiny of getting the #1 seed for the ACC Tournament and winning the regular season. Let's get it done boys!

GO PACK!!
The best teams in this sport punish you for every mistake. Our team has consistently done that to teams this season.

Pretty incredible that we control our own destiny with two games left. Hope the Doak is rocking tonight and Saturday.
Walks and errors always kill you in baseball. That axiom has always been true.
Being an N. C. State fan builds great character!

Yes, but you need the other teams to split as well.

If each team goes 1-1 for the last 2, State wins with final standings...

State 18-10 (.642)
GT 19-11 (.630)
FSU 17-10 (.629)
UNC 18-11 (.620)

Why do I get this sinking feeling UNC sweeps and we drop 1/3 on something really ridiculous. Why do I always have to think like this? Oh yeah... it's called Classical Conditioning.

Well, if UNC sweeps FSU in Tally and we can't do the same to Stanford at home...they deserve to finish first.

Yeah that's the only scenario where cancelling that Sunday game vs UNC would come back to bite us. If we had played and won that game, then only take 2/3 this weekend and UNC were to sweep FSU we still would have finished half a game ahead of UNC. Now if that happens we will finish half a game behind UNC. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

So in ACC play, Brandon Novy has had 21 plate appearances in which he has drawn 9 walks and had 4 hits.

.619 OBP lol. Small sample size but pretty cool stat, nonetheless.

very lucky / selective or both because nobody is pitching around Novy at this point.

Might want to move the start time up or be damn sure to have the lead after 5 innings.

Nothing will be known for sure until official lineups are released and as we saw last night, they are subject to last minute changes.

How the hell are you lucky and selective? The ump is only giving him a better zone? Just say he is walking a decent amount for a freshman with limited AB's like a normal person would.

Chris McHugh is not out tossing the baseball with his teammates to loosen up. It appears that Brandon Novy will start at first base once again this evening.

Let me get this right: if State wins these last two and FSU simply plays its two games, regardless of outcome, Avent will finally win a championship (regular season).

We know what that means, rain out.

Future radar shows possible storm moving in after 9pm. Should be ok.

Weather looks clear in Tallahassee for today and tomorrow. At least as of now.

Hopefully we can get an update on McHugh (outside of what Rob said). HOPEFULLY it's something minor and he's being held out for precautionary reasons

McHugh has been hit on the hand like four times the last three weeks.

ETA - Broadcast said that EA confirmed it was his hand that kept him out last night.
