if Wake was State, their fans would be calling for Walter's head after getting the conference POY, 2 more first-teamers and another on the all-freshman list but going 27-26 overall and 12-18 ACC.

Is this Ratledge's sixth year?

5/18/2015 6:15:53 PM

No, fourth. He and Fincher are the two seniors that've been here their whole careers.

5/18/2015 6:36:07 PM

They should be happy with those results?

5/18/2015 7:32:45 PM

Virginia run ruled Georgia Tech 11-0. We'll play them on Saturday.

5/19/2015 3:13:52 PM

This projection currently has us as a 3 seed in Dallas:
http://www.d1baseball.com/analysis/field-of-64-projections-tuesday-may-19/

As long as we don't get swept I can't imagine us not making the NCAA tournament.

5/19/2015 7:40:50 PM

So is it whomever has the best record after 3 games plays on Sunday?

5/20/2015 4:48:58 PM

Yes from the two pools. There are tie breakers too. Head to head if just two teams. If more than two I think it gets squirrely. I'm sure wolfdawg knows.

5/20/2015 4:54:30 PM

Haha, yes I do. If it's a 3-way tie, the higher seed goes to Sunday.

Worst thing about the format is you can be eliminated from Sunday after playing just 1 pool play game.

This is on WatchESPN for all the kids at the office with a separate monitor. We're peppering the shit out of ND's pitcher. We've got three runs off of it, but a generous strike zone by the ump and an incredible catch by the CF in the third inning has kept us from a couple more runs.

Despite a base loaded jam in the 2nd (infield hit, 3rd base error), our guy Brown is looking strong.

5/21/2015 2:22:38 PM

I wish DirecTV would get WatchESPN

Damn....Brown is dealing. Just struck out five in a row...six out of nine outs for the game.

5/21/2015 2:33:05 PM

baller as fuck

5/21/2015 2:34:03 PM

Lol at ND 1st baseman

5/21/2015 2:58:03 PM

Hard-hitting duct tape/duck tape debate heating up.

5/21/2015 3:01:04 PM

Thank God they were picking on that guy that was putting up the tape. One of the annoying fans that somehow always appears through the years.

9k's so far in 5 innings of work, this is impressive.

5/21/2015 3:04:12 PM

K Machine!

What is the deal with the duct tape? I'm listening on the radio. If it is not worth explaining don't worry about it.

5/21/2015 3:12:47 PM

^ WatchEspn IS available to DirecTV customers. Became available back a couple of months ago.

5/21/2015 3:20:46 PM

Well suck me sideways! Didn't know that. Thanks!

Fox Sports Detroit PLUS!

5/21/2015 3:27:29 PM

Britt picking up where Brown left off. He's had three or four Ks in his two innings of work. Wouldn't mind getting some insurance runs here. Bats have kind of fallen off since the first 2 or 3 innings.

5/21/2015 3:52:09 PM

DP ends it! Go Pack!

5/21/2015 4:06:00 PM

Finishing on a double was poetic after all the records ND broke this year turning two.

5/21/2015 4:06:34 PM

Dominate pitching performance from Brown. Miami next tomorrow night.

5/21/2015 4:07:14 PM

Needed this pitching tomorrow night.

5/21/2015 4:15:04 PM

Huge win. Have to imagine this locks up an NCAA bid for us.

If ND beats UVA in the 11:00 game tomorrow, we can clinch with a win over Miami. If UVA beats ND, we have to beat Miami tomorrow and UVA Saturday.

5/21/2015 4:40:49 PM

Beating Miami will be tough...it's a solid game...should be entertaining but we HAVE to get more offense against them than we did ND.

our pitching won that game today, obviously.

And ol' smelly fan...stacking up the k's.

Who woulda known that guy would have a fiance. Guess there really is someone for everyone.

5/21/2015 5:05:27 PM

Miami actually pitched their ace yesterday, although the guy I assume is pitching tomorrow (Suarez) is real good too (6-1, 3.06 ERA, .258 BAA and 1.28 WHIP in conference play). They did pitch three of their key relievers yesterday, but some or all of them will probably still be available tomorrow.

They're averaging 8 runs/game in conference play, so it'll be very tough to beat them without another stellar day of pitching that limits them to well below their normal scoring. We don't really have the firepower (at least not consistently) to beat them in a high-scoring affair.

5/21/2015 5:19:01 PM

Carolina eliminated from advancing to championship game after loss to Florida State earlier tonight

5/22/2015 12:44:09 AM

Yep. Clemson as well.

5/22/2015 1:01:45 AM

Pull for Notre Dame today.

Virginia loss today + State victory tonight = State clinches Pool B

5/22/2015 8:45:49 AM

I forget...if we win pool B...it's just a one game, winner-take-all game against the winner of pool A?

5/22/2015 9:56:49 AM

yup

5/22/2015 10:19:53 AM

ND up 3-0 going into bottom of the 3rd. Scored 2 runs in the top of the inning off a throwing error by the catcher after a dropped third strike.

^^^^ Yeah, I didn't really mind Clemson being eligible to advance since I thought they were probably the most beatable in Pool A, if we were to advance, although they would have had Saturday off before playing Sunday if that happened.

Winner of Pool A will be determined by the 11:00 Louisville/FSU game tomorrow, for the record.

5/22/2015 11:58:34 AM

triple to make it 6-2 ND in the top of the 6th

5/22/2015 1:01:27 PM

Going to the 9th, Notre Dame leads 7-2

5/22/2015 1:52:11 PM

Irish win. We advance to Sunday's championship with a win over Miami tonight and are eliminated with a loss tonight (but would still play UVA tomorrow night).

5/22/2015 2:14:01 PM

Tix are $10.75 (because of tax)

Turn the DBAP red!

first base ump just fucked us good on a leadoff bunt

5/22/2015 8:59:01 PM

^had to be intentional

5/22/2015 9:03:21 PM

Intense top of the 9th, but got out of a bases-loaded jam. Going into the bottom down a run.

5/22/2015 10:08:27 PM

Guy drove the ball to the warning track as well

5/22/2015 10:11:05 PM

Lol. Surprised Avent hasn't gotten himself tossed yet tonight

5/22/2015 10:13:56 PM

Tied game. 2 outs, winning run on 3rd.

Pop up in foul territory, going to extras.

5/22/2015 10:21:35 PM

Dunand fouls out to the catcher on first pitch he sees. I hate when batters do that. Give the pitcher a chance to throw a wild pitch and at the least see what he has. So stupid

[Edited on May 22, 2015 at 10:24 PM. Reason : sdf]

5/22/2015 10:24:20 PM

3 k's for a quick top of the 10th.

What I don't understand is why we switched rally-cap styles for the 10th when the other way worked so well in the 9th.
