Hard to believe if UNC wins their series against Stanford they win the title this year!


Or if the third game against us wasn't rained out.


Games played only matter. But good try.

How the hell do they lose to Stanford. Getting shut out last game of series to god awful Stanford acc era!!


Well you started the whataboutisms. You could have just as easily said if we hadn't gotten beat by Pitt or Duke since you're what if'ing. We were leaking oil big time across the finish line. Pitching overall was good enough but the hitting since Clemson has been abysmal. No need to what if…


There is a specific reason I chose Stanford and UNC winning 1 or 3 at home against them. Maybe you can figure out why.


And my point is when you're this close there are 100 different things we could have done that you could point to to get a win or two more. But we didn't. And at this point none of it matters. We didn't get it done. Hopefully we take advantage of the double bye out of the 4 seed and win the tournament to claim a host spot in the NCAA's.


Only thing that mattered was the double bye. This missed opportunity to win a recently made up "regular" season title and all the mad fans in an uproar is crazy. Where were all you guys when we got swept by Miami?

Btw we are .500 against the top 4 seeds.


You know what's not mutually exclusive? Winning the regular season and locking down the one seed against the bottom feeder of the ACC and whatever the hell EA ranted about last night.

We weren't saving arms, poured it out and lost because we couldn't hit an atrocious pitching staff who was trying tot throw everyone on their roster and hand us wins.

ETA: Said as respectfully as I can


They shut out, gave up zero runs to UNC. Very hard to do in college baseball.

I get being upset. But the continued discussion is annoying. Point was made after your first 5 posts about their pitching.



In March.


So I guess baseball is a streaky sport right?

I think they had a very different approach against us and unc though, right? They threw some dudes against us that they wouldn't have if their goal was to just win the series instead of saving innings on their best arms, even if their best arms aren't great. And we still couldn't hit them. Thats the disappointing part.

UNC still scored 20 runs in that series. All I've been saying is it would be nice to go down swinging like they did. Especially against Johnny Wholestaff

I think there were 6 teams that could have come out of the weekend the number 1 seed. All but one needed help. There will be 5 upset teams tonight.

I have no idea what their approach was against UNC. They shut UNC out. Their acc team era included games they played against UNC.

What is most frustrating to me is the total disappointment by fans for something I feel is recently made up. I can remember coaches ( not only in the acc) that could care less about winning their conf tourney. They hated using arms before the regionals started.

But it's my opinion. Not asking or expecting anyone to agree.

This has been the worst collective hitting display with some of the worst situational hitting/at bats I've ever seen an NC State team turn in. Losing this series is like losing to wake forest in football several years ago when they were down to like their 3rd qb when a win would have gotten us in the championship game. Just about as bad as it gets.


I'll take it a step further. This is the worst hitting team we have seen from Avent/Hart is 10 years.
only thing is the stats say you're wrong...


Haha please quote me some stats. We can argue all you want. But you're wrong on this one. Avent has had sticks every year for the past 10 years. This is by far the worst hitting team he has had since Rodons last year.
Nope, you're wrong. And it's ok to be wrong, I get it, you're upset about the game today. But stop while you're ahead (behind).


Has nothing to do with being upset today.

Last years team hits circles around this team.

23 with Groover, Peebles, Cozart
22 Tommy White, Groover
21… enough said. 20 Covid.
19 Patrick Bailey, Will Wilson
18 Bailey, Wilson, Evan Edwards etc…
17 Wilson, Dunnad, McLain, Kinneman
16 Palmerio, Kizner, Dunnad

Please tell me which of those teams is a worse hitting team than this one?



Don't know why everyone does this with CLT like it'll ever be a productive conversation. He'll just say inane, troll bull**** until you lose your cool and then he gets to claim a victory because he'll offer you an internet hug bc you're big mad. He's the Ovies of the boards. Don't feed the trolls.


Thank you for saying that. I didn't realize. And no one was chiming in so I thought I was going crazy

Nope same thing happened to me this morning lol

Odd coincidence. But another reason why the regular season is just made up. In order for it to mean anything it should have a balanced schedule.

I'm not worried about the regular season standings. Yeah it would have been nice but the tournament is what we all want. As long as we have the double bye.

There is an excuse for it, and it's that we can't afford it. That was my initial point. Avent is making do with what he has and has actually done a REALLY good job of making chicken salad from chicken $h!t, which is pretty tough to do. The likelihood that the next coach could do better, given the circumstances, is super low. I've said it before, but collectively, we have caviar taste and a taco bell budget.

This is where I disagree. We don't have a single highly recruited player from NC in our lineup. That is inexcusable with the talent in this state.

And why do you think that is- You think Avent Chrysler and Hart don't want the best kids in the state or aren't recruiting them?

Do you disagree?

lol

Do I disagree with your cherry picking and wanting to dismiss actual data? Yeah, I prolly do. Lol


You're trying to deflect this away from your original statement of this being the worst hitting team over some such of a timeframe. lol





No I am not. I am consistently asked which team you felt was a worse hitting team? And you have yet to answer

Pick and year and we will discuss.

I put out a post with the data. Go read it. lol

Stop deflecting. lol


How bout this…the 2021 team was the best lineup ever. Cool?


21 was very good. They got hot at the right time. Had good pitching and played extremely good defense.

2016 was unreal. Kiz Palmerio Mendoza McLain Pitara Chance Shepard Deathrage Dunand Kinneman. That team could rake.

2018 I thought was extremely special offensively. Two first rounders on that team.

That freaking 2012 team was an offensive power house as well.

This just isn't true
Anderson Nance
Jacob Dudan
Jaxon Lucas

to name a few.

Brandon Novy, Kaden Morris and Anderson Nance were top 10 kids in the state last year.

Chance Mako and Jaxon Lucas were top 10 in the '23 class with Mako number 2 overall behind Walker Jenkins. Obviously Mako was overrated a bit but he was highly recruited and ranked.

We signed the top two players in the '22 class with Gupton and Serrano being 1 and 2.

Baseball recruiting is a massive crapshoot. The 65th ranked kid in the '22 class, Tanner Thach, is an absolute monster for uncw. Kane Kepley for unc (previously Liberty) was ranked 95th in that class and he's getting hype to be a top 3 round pick for the holes.

We have 3 of the top 10 kids in NC signed for the '25 class in CJ Gray, Everett Johnson and Quinn Bentley. Hell, even Guru2001 has said that Quinn Bentley will start next year for us at 3rd (he won't). Gray and Johnson are ranked nationally in the top 130. Aidan West (A State legacy) is the top player in the state of Maryland and ranked 102nd overall (nationally) by PG and 31st overall by PBR. C Vincent DeCarlo from Florida (ask FLpack about him) is a top 300 kid from a BIG TIME program in FL and would be the best catcher in NC if he lived here.

The top 4 kids in NC have a big chance of getting drafted and not even seeing a college campus. Hammond and James are definitely starting pro careers early. CJ Gray, committed to us, has a ton of draft buzz right now. Big time arm and State legacy Briggs McKenzie (signed with LSU) is a big time lefty prospect with lots of draft buzz as well.

Our 2026 class has some dudes committed in Gunnar Alm from Polk County (of all places), Christian Serrano (Eli's lil bro), Landon Church from Clemmons and Kellen Smith from South Johnston. Alm is a top 75 kid nationally right now. Church and Smith are big time talents. Hell, Smith is just big already at 6'3-6'4.

There's also lefty Mylo White (Metrolina Christian) who's bumpin 90-92 right now along with RHP Maddox McRee (from Hickory) and football commit Jacob Smith who we all know about.

Mylo is an intriguing arm from a program that is pumping out talent recently.

Don't fall for the nonsense, just don't. We recruit NC and land a good bit of the in state talent. Let's not also forget that Chris Hart has massive connections in the state of FL.

Now if you wanted to discuss talent leaving the state, that's a different subject. Coy James is committed to Ole Miss (he's getting drafted high), Briggs to LSU, a kid from Gaston county signed with UCF another kid is going to South Carolina (I think he's originally from SC tho).

The 24 class had top 10 kids leave the state for UK, Notre Dame and Ga Tech.

I'm fine to use statistics as long as we can agree that they don't always tell the fully story. As offense has surged due to bats and balls.

For example in 2019 Patrick Bailey and 2025 Brayden Frassman had similar offensive years statistically. But no sane person would agree that are equal hitters.

Good lord.




Do you disagree?

lol

Do I disagree with your cherry picking and wanting to dismiss actual data? Yeah, I prolly do. Lol


You're trying to deflect this away from your original statement of this being the worst hitting team over some such of a timeframe. lol





No I am not. I am consistently asked which team you felt was a worse hitting team? And you have yet to answer

Pick and year and we will discuss.

I put out a post with the data. Go read it. lol

Stop deflecting. lol


How bout this…the 2021 team was the best lineup ever. Cool?


21 was very good. They got hot at the right time. Had good pitching and played extremely good defense.

2016 was unreal. Kiz Palmerio Mendoza McLain Pitara Chance Shepard Deathrage Dunand Kinneman. That team could rake.

2018 I thought was extremely special offensively. Two first rounders on that team.

That freaking 2012 team was an offensive power house as well.

2020 & 2021 were maybe (likely) the two best teams in NC State baseball history and both seasons were ended without a loss causing it.

Avent is done and he knows it so he just needs to walk away into retirement gracefully. What happen this weekend was beyond disappointing.

We will become a warm weather Boston College. What Avent has done given what we provide him is nothing short of remarkable

I've never been a "fire Avent" guy, but it may be time to retire. Very good skipper, and has done a lot without great resources, but it's been 30 years and 0 trophies.


With our lack of commitment to facilities and nil, I'm actually terrified of what the future for baseball looks like post EA, whenever that is. I hope it's not soon because it's likely to get ugly after he goes.



Except that there is a ton of talent in NC and barely any in Mass.


We are barely getting nc talent that matters right now.


Oh I agree but there is no excuse for it.
There is an excuse for it, and it's that we can't afford it. That was my initial point. Avent is making do with what he has and has actually done a REALLY good job of making chicken salad from chicken $h!t, which is pretty tough to do. The likelihood that the next coach could do better, given the circumstances, is super low. I've said it before, but collectively, we have caviar taste and a taco bell budget.


This is where I disagree. We don't have a single highly recruited player from NC in our lineup. That is inexcusable with the talent in this state.
And why do you think that is- You think Avent Chrysler and Hart don't want the best kids in the state or aren't recruiting them?


Because they aren't doing a good job recruiting them. They are far less aggressive than their peers in recruiting.

I get all the frustration and anger. Heck, I'm angry and very disappointed that we could not muster a 2nd win over Stanford. What I do not get is all the hate directed at Avent.

Avent is the Bobby Cox of college baseball, except Cox slipped up and won one chip

Cox had the best team in baseball a number of years-Baseball is a tough sport to win consistently and Avent has done a great job, especially the last 12 years.

Stanford consistent threw average fastballs up in the strike zone and it gave us problems all weekend. We popped out so much

Let's hope the boys get hot next week. It takes one game to turn get hot, like Clemson series

Avent literally went to Omaha last year and had one of his least-dominant teams over the last decade in the top-15 and in a position to finish first in the league if they won one more game this year, in what could reasonably have been a rebuilding year.

We're all disappointed in the bats going cold this weekend but some of y'all need to get outside more.

Every year the baseball board gets visitors at the end of the season who watch their first game or two of the season and make over-arching statements that have no merit.

This team was not built (or bought these days) to be one of the best teams in the conference this season. We added a ton of young players to build a foundation after losing multiple high impact veterans last offseason.

And in the end, we were one conference win away from winning the ACC regular season title. But sure "Avent is done and he knows it."

There is no reason to go into a hatchet job on EA. EA has largely done a very nice job in his career at State. Are there some things where I feel he falls short - yes for sure. But all in all EA has had a very nice career at State. And I agree with the poster above, outside of pitching, this isn't a championship level roster this year.

That 2020 probably is the best team in NC State history.

Then I think it's a toss up between 2012,2021,and 2013.

Again this isn't to discredit any of those teams. It's kinda like deciding between a Filet, Ribeye, or Strip

Very nice is a massive understatement. EA is an NC State legend and what he's done with this program the past 20+ years is nothing short of remarkable given the lack of investment he's received.

These last 2 games were all time clunkers no doubt. And the fact he hasn't won an ACC title, regular season or tourney, is nothing short of just a baseball fluke.

The EA slander from posters who watch 5 games a year is beyond comical. Ranked in the top 25 every year, make the postseason every year, 3 times to Omaha, and straight up robbed of a national title in one of the biggest injustices in sports history.

We should name the field after him whenever he decides to retire.

I often wonder how we determine who watches 5 games a year.

Good for this guy to go out with a title.

As he says, "If you're not in first, you're last."
