ACCT Baseball (poll)

[GTNavyNuke]

Coming in as top seed is sweet. Just need to win 3 to win the ACCT. Thursday 3pm, Saturday 1pm and Sunday noon. Weather looks clear so far.

Hope Burress stays hot. Hope the D keeps making great plays.

Wonder who will pitch Thursday? Wonder what the lineup will be with Lodice slumping?

 

[GT33]

I'm going to win this one. We run the table here.

Go Jackets!

 

[FredJacket]

We will face #8 Wake Forest, #9 Miami, or #16 California

 

[Beeski]

I'm guessing we stick with Tate on Thursday with a short leash. Mason ready to go in the pen.
Brady on Saturday, Paden on Sunday.

Brady on Saturday, Paden on Sunday.

And if Miami or Cal can pull an upset, we'll be facing off against a team that has already used two of their starters.

Georgia Tech wins ACC regular season title

Drew Burress went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, two RBIs and three runs scored, Brady Jones and Jaylen Paden combined to toss a six-hitter and Georgia Tech clinched its first outright Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season championship in 20 years with an 8-2 triumph at No. 20 Duke on...

I didn't realize it until talking to a friend at work who is a UK guy, but whose daughter is dating the catcher for Ole Miss. But the SEC is using the same tournament format as the ACC this year. They had always been the double elimination format holdouts until this year, I believe. I miss the double elimination tournaments. Were always a lot of fun to attend.

Conference full of inbreeders! Everyone’s getting pulled down to mutt level.

Eh, they're good people. Don't bark at anyone!

They met when he was a catcher at UK. Transferred to Ole Miss. Having a pretty good year I believe.

Just happy to have someone else I can talk college baseball with on a week to week basis. Pickin's are slim in the Ohio area.

 

[CINCYMETJACKET]

Who is making the trip to Durham? I will be there. Hotel booked Wednesday night through Friday night. Would love to have to extend that through Saturday! Let's GO! Send Danny off with an ACC tournament Championship and beyond!

I have an ACC Championship banner in the entryway to my house. It is from 2014. Way too long. Our first regular season ACC title since 2005. It's time we start ending these streaks! LFGJ!

@CINCYMETJACKET Always found Miss fans to be real good people, just ragging on esseeecee

 

[CINCYMETJACKET]

Just asking the question. Has an ACC regular season Champion not hosted a regional?

Since my second team is LSU….um, they don’t like us much.

Who doesn't like us? The cesspool of SEC fans, or the educated SEC fans that I interact with on a daily basis? I only care about the latter.

I meant they (Ole Miss fans) don’t like us (LSU fans)

I have no idea about LSU. Not part of my World View.

Never happened.

 

[FredJacket]

The ACC has to be thrilled about the way this field has come together. Va Tech is the closest geographically to Durham in the bottom 8. How would you like to be Cal, Stanford, BC, ND, Pitt? Traveling all those miles to maybe only play 1 game on a Tues... in Cal's case at 9am? Ouch!

Any hard-core conspiracy theorist out there thinking the ACC 'planned' it this way from back in March? Am I suppose to believe it is just a coincidence that UNC, NC State are that good at baseball and get the double bye into the weekend of the tournament while Stanford and Cal and BC and Pitt have to suffer through travel and 1-2 games before meeting up with a "fresh" Wake, Duke, UNC, NC State squad?

All the more reason to hype up Ga Tech's accomplishment... overcame the ACCHQ's thumb on the scale and STILL captured the #1 seed.

 

[gtrower]

UNC fans are especially salty about Tech winning the RS trophy. Complaining about SOS for conference opponents and how we didn’t have to play anybody else in the Top 4. In a season where 1st-7th were separated by 2 games.

Meanwhile I’m wondering why they’re a lock for a national seed and we’re not when we have a tougher overall SOS, similar record, more Q1 wins, and we won the conference.

We do need to relish this one. We know they'll make sure we have the toughest ACC schedule next year. Go Jackets!
