No. But it is a very good team and a solid accomplishment in a very good league should we win the regular season.

Not an excuse, but McHue makes this lineup MUCH more effective. Different level obviously, but I look at the braves less RA. Those type of hitters make the rest of the lineup much different.
I haven't scrolled all the way thru, but i saw he was out due to illness. Was that true or is he injured?

Blowing it against the worst team in the league to give your rival the best chance to win the regular season title is just absolutely BRUTAL.
Cal is the worst team in the league but please, continue your tantrum. Haha
Who's throwing a tantrum? Let's not act like we didn't just blow a perfect opportunity to win a title against a team that isn't any good this year?
But yeah you're right losing to a team that had an 11 game losing streak this season, is perfectly okay with everything State had to play for on the line.
Just calling it what it is brother.

I am gonna be honest you and James are probably the only 2 that truly give a **** about finishing 1st in the regular season standings. It is so far down the list. Give me a WS appearance, a super appearance, and ACc tournament championship all before I care about finishing up in first at 18-10. Wouldn't be nice sure but I'm not losing sleep over it.
So if we win today we get the title or does UNC have to lose as well? Help a brother out please

Whats at stake
There will be a lot to play for this weekend as NC State looks to win their first ACC regular season title since 1986. A sweep of the Cardinal and one loss by Florida State would secure the title and the first seed in the ACC tournament next week.
But sure, why care about winning a title. Let's focus on what we do in a regional with 3 other random teams over a weekend.

Also you mention all they had to play for - I don't think the team is hell bent on whether they get the 1 seed or the 2 seed at the ACC tournament like you are. Hell listen to EA post game comments. They want to win regionals, supers, and CWS and a tournament championship I am sure would get them excited as well. Kids don't care about 1 seed or 2 seed.

Nobody is having a breakdown. Apparently you can't state an opinion without getting personally attacked if it doesn't agree with the sunshine pumpers opinions.
You can understand it's a bad loss (b/c it is) but you can also act like an adult and understand you can still win the regular season with a win and some help. Save the tantrums for later today. hahaSniderFC said:StateFan2001 said:SniderFC said:CLTWolf said:SniderFC said:

Do you expect a dogpile if they win today?
How about if they win ACC tournament?
How about if they win Refional or super regional or god forbid the CWS?

You just can't resist being a condescending ass can you? It's like a twitch.
Seeding in basketball to me is much more important to winning a title than seeding in baseball.James Henderson said:Yeah we just shouldn't care about titles in any sports anymore outside of the postseason ones where you need to do well in the regular season to accomplish them.StateFan2001 said:James Henderson said:
Avent on winning a ACC regular season title: "That's for the fans. That's what the fans talk about. You know me. I always talk about going to postseason and having a chance to play for a national championship. Who won tonight? I have no idea."
Exactly what I was referring to.
Do you expect a dogpile if they win today?
How about if they win ACC tournament?
How about if they win Refional or super regional or god forbid the CWS?
Glad guys like Wes have a diff. opinion.
The only championship for the ACC has been tournament winners. Only since participation awards being a thing have we worried about regular season champs. It is not a championship.
Absolutely agreed on the stadium part. It is mindboggling we haven't used the recent success to build a 5,000 seat palace and make Doak the place to be in Raleigh during the April-June window. So much revenue left on the table between gate receipts and beer sales

Big picture this team has overachieved. We are put together like a small market MLB team. We have a few high end arms that were home grown and then seemingly were working on a very tight budget in the free agent market. This leads to a team that has limitations offensively but remains competitive due to the high end arms. Gonna have some losses you don't like when your offense is limited. Pitching will win a lot of games but it doesn't win out every night.
Going to need more money to compete nationally I suspect moving forward. The SEC, with football money but also money derived from these huge stadiums they fill consistently, is going to have a different level of talent than we can put together. If we are going to continue to be a lower budget roster, we need to pick it up with HS recruiting. Look at our lineup - there are very few highly rated HS recruits playing. Sosa and Head are about it and neither player is from NC. We need to do a better job in state with all the talent that is produced in NC. Look at the 2026 class that is mostly done. We have a few hangovers from freshman year commitments that probably aren't playing at this level as juniors. We have 2-3 high end offensive talents coming in and really not much in terms of arms. Need more than that in a given class.
Having said that, I have said and will say I wish we would invest more heavily in baseball - facilities and players.
I assume the tarholes will trot out Haugh today. He's been really good all year but his last 3 starts have not been great so Scott could go in a different direction.
FSU is the best hitting team in the league and unc has the best pitching staff....so far the best staff has the edge but IMO there's a drop off from Knapp and Decaro to Haugh. Is today the day the FSU bats show up?
