2 run HR for GT makes it 14-10. This might have been the death blow.
Hokies are currently 24th in DSR
That's a good flip
There's been multiple times that's been said on the boardcast. That the baseball committee is paying more attention to DSR than RPI. And that's why all the bracketology has us squarely inside the tournament and not around the first four out. We are going to be in the ncaa baseball tournament.
UVA gets one back in the top of the 8th, now 12-10. Going to need at least a couple in the 9th to keep it going.
I don't have Kenpom subscription so can't access historical data, but for this used data from sports reference . Com which uses the simple rating system SRS
Simple Rating System; a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average. Non-Division I games are excluded from the ratings.
Pro tip - do not sneeze with a broken rib. Those who say you cannot prevent a sneeze have never sneezed with a broken rib.
Immediately followed-up with a solo shot to left center - 12-9
Grand slam GT - 11-9 GT still batting in the 7th.
I get that we have a decent RPI. That isn't lost on me. Its our middle of the conference record, the weekend sweep we suffered in Texas earlier this year, a couple head-scratching losses, and just the general sense that all VT athletics get screwed any time we're a borderline team in any sport.
Otherwise, just looking at the numbers, yeah I would say we're in. I'm just not going to let myself believe its going to happen until we see our name up there.
GT brewing in the bottom of the 7th. 2 runs already in, now 9-7 UVA with bases loaded, 2 outs, and a pitching change underway.
The hiccup sneeze is a diaphraginal nightmare
one more in on a bases loaded free-pass. 9-5 going into B7.
8-5 now in favor of UVA in the top of the 7th... GT starting to sweat.
I once sneezed and burped at the same time and that hurt
I'm not sure about snarting, but it's probably better than sharting. Sort of depends on the muscle being pulled. Wait, I mean which muscle said sneeze might result in pulling that muscle.
Or, I just meant getting old beats the alternative of not getting old.
6-5 UVA heading into the 6th
what determines SOS though? The ACC was legitimately the best league when Greenberg was coaching. They are overrated now and much softer than they were back then.
forgot about the early start... Looking at the weather forecast I think they made the right call to move this up. The end of game #2 this afternoon between BC and Miami could get dicey with the weather.
GT up 1-0 on UVA in the 3rd
What a joke.
I countered the down vote but hopefully whoever did it comes around. Its a legitimate opinion with how the past has gone with other Hokies teams in all sports.
Anyone else watching all the drama with Will Wade and LSU? Just announced their third signing of a player that went through the NBA Draft.
Today it was forward Saliou Niang, who was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2025 Draft and was playing for Virtus Bologna in Italy Serie A as well as Euroleague.
Previously it was RJ Luis, who went undrafted but signed a UDFA contract with Jazz and was traded to the Celtics before being released. He was the Big East Player of the Year in 2025 with St John's.
Yam Madar was drafted by the Celtics in 2020 and has been playing professionally in Israel and Italy since then. Rumor is they gave him $5M.
Wade has also signed Brice Dessert, who has been playing for one of the top French teams in the EuroLeague.
Marcio Santos was also signed out of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the top Israeli league as well as a EuroLeague team. He spent three years in Brazil as an All Star/league champion in their top league before going to Israel.
The three drafted are considered ineligible by the NCAA. Not sure if NCAA has issued an eligibility determination on Dessert or Santos but both have at least five years of top end professional basketball.
Average age of this group is like 23 years 9 months.
Am assuming Wade feels he has a friendly judge willing to deem them all eligible in court if he is committing so heavily to this path.
and I fail to see how anything i said ^^^ here ^^^ is worth a downvote. If you dont agree with my take then take it up in the thread to tell me how i'm wrong. Dont deprive me of legs that I need in my pursuit to overtake Alum07 on the leg board!
I don't know how we beat this GT once. Especially during the part of the season when we played them
