Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Sun Belt Freshman of the Year in the transfer portal. Sounds familiar. Every school outside of a few SEC/ACC schools are JuCo's.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

And that’s , that. About as expected . This is App baseball. And, from what I've witnessed, if your okay with it expect more of the same. I'm okay with 30+ wins and setting a program record for conference wins and highest finish in the conference. Absolutely nothing to hang our heads about this yea...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

I remember going to Tennessee for 3 in 2019 and we didn't score a run all weekend. Went to ECU, UNCW, and Miami for 3 each in 2021 and got swept by all of them. I'm not saying that I disagree with the "scheduling harder" discussion (especially when we get swept by GW), but I don't think it's as eas...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

They just said Smith is expected to play later in the tournament. I’m no doctor but I’m curious what will change in a few days with stitches in the mouth area. Can’t imagine a great deal of healing beyond where he’s at today. Agreed. And from what I've heard he's been lobbying to play. Who makes th...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Missed opportunity for a crooked number there, but 1 is better than 0. Hitting the ball hard and running up that pitch count.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Good grief.. britt being negligent again at 3rd.. routine ball to third, no outs. You send the runner... Unreal . Unless Evans did that on his own If Evans is waiting for Britt to tell him to go or stay then it's already too late. The decision to go or stay on that is decided immediately when he ge...

Win one game and lock up a top 6 seed and first round bye. Win two games and lock up a top 4 seed which put you in the home half for game one.
Win game 1 and let the equipment manager and the bus driver start games 2 and 3. Rest up to go win the conference tourney.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Why no TV of the Wake game in Shelby? They televise the Legion World Series on ESPN so why not this game? I had the same thought. It's maddening. And the location makes no sense to me. Sure, it's about equidistant from each school but it's nowhere close to being in the middle. Let's just play it in...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Seems that we just need a legit shut down closer. How many games have we lost going into the 8th with a lead? That should rarely happen. Its somewhat not having a closer but also on the coaches for not finding a closer the first 15 games of the year. Find your go to guys early on, not now, when it ...

The chips have got to start falling in our favor at some point don't they? This is gut wrenching. Tomorrow is a great day to start a winning streak.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Why on earth did we put in another pitcher with the bases loaded? My son and I were watching. It was nearly a 100% certainty that there would be either: Wild pitch HBP Walk And it happened. In that situation stick with the guy who was already pitching. Stupid What were the odds of that happening if...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

I forgot that Tyler Figueroa transferred to Wake. He's played in 6 games and has 7 total plate appearances. Wonder where he would fit in to the App lineup this year. Hard to imagine a 2nd Team All-SBC Utility guy would not find his way on the field.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

As a fan, I was looking forward to watching some baseball today. But it makes sense to push it back a day. 14 degrees warmer tomorrow, plus Wake just played a 4 game weekend series and we played 3.5 with the extra inning games. I'm sure neither minded an extra day of rest.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

On a different note. Was looking at the schedule - is that a typo? The series with Presbyterian is at 3 different sites? Somehow, it’s legit. I guess it could be a decent way to inflate RPI by playing away and Nuetral. But, need to win all 3 for that to happen. That’s a lot of travel, pack, unpack ...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

I've taken some time to think about this weekend because my initial reaction was not a healthy one and I didn't want to get on here and spew. Let me get this point across abundantly clear, getting swept by Gardner Webb - and especially losing like we did on Saturday - is absolutely unacceptable and ...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Throw strikes. Just spewed my 2nd cup of coffee. I do believe our first guy today on the bump is a "crafty lefty". Not much velo but he can pound the zone. Then a 6'5 heat thrower tomorrow. Excited to see what we have on the mound. That could be a nasty 1-2 punch for opposing hitters to get use to....
