Dawgs win it 9-4

Tech Tuesday and a bad Auburn squad next week

We will have an opportunity to hit the 30 win mark as we enter the month of May

Oh yeah, we no longer have a losing conference record.

That’s something!

Good enough to beat us? Definitely
But they’re currently 19-16 and went from being a top ten team earlier in the season to being unranked.

Put another way, they’re our stiffest OOC competition to date and I’m a bit concerned with who we can and will throw on Tuesday. However, they don’t appear to be nearly as dominant as they were once thought to be

Danny Hall might go down as one of the most underachieving college coaches relative to his tenure at a P5 program. 3 CWS berths (last was 15 years ago) across 21 tournament appearances. Only time they ever came close to winning it all was his first year in 94.

Certainly a respectable 27 year career but frustrating that we would lose out on solid talent to Mike Martin Lite

#22

Unbelievable. Don’t they know who we are and who our coach is???

And couldn’t do anything with Teixeira either. The amount of household names to come out of that program relative to their success is startling

We have won 3 straight series in the toughest conference in baseball, including a series win on the road agains then #1 team in the country.

I see us as a 2 seed in the regionals, which would put us somewhere between 17-32...so seems about right from a ranking that probably doesn’t look at our leads blown and LOB catastrophe

I’m being sarcastic, I think we are pretty accurately ranked given our SOS, record, and quality wins. Fortunately a win counts no matter how ugly. Just hoping we can hold it together the last 3 weekends. Could really do some positive damage this week.

With regard to Hoover and a possible NCAA tournament berth, I’m just not terribly optimistic given our pitching schizophrenia. Webb and Cannon could be solid 1-2 starters but you never seem to know what you’ll get. Starters 3-5 are a total crapshoot (I guess it’s Wagner, Woods, and... Bearden?) and who knows if CJ Smith returns whether or not he actually performs at a competitive level.

I think we’ve got enough gas in the tank to hit 30 wins and then some in the regular season but tournament baseball is just a different rodeo

4-0 Tech in a bases loaded single after Cole Tate flips to second instead of going straight to first with 2 out the previous AB

3rd inning, Goldstein out and Crisp in

Tech has 4 hits, we have 0

Crisp issues back to back walks and Dawgs fail to turn what should’ve been a smooth double play ball

1 away with runners on the corners for Tech

Issued 6 walks today so far and made a couple of sloppy fielding mistakes.

So far we have pitched Bearden, Goldstein, and Crisp

We are without Polk and Pearson because we had to pitch them so long over the weekend.

We have to be careful with expending any of our good arms because Auburn is Thursday-Saturday

Recipe for a shitty night of baseball
