Nuke's bringing back some nice gifts from his trip. You'll definitely be pleased!

The 4-0 week has pushed us top 20 RPI (although we’ll probably slip down a few spots before the end of the day) and will undoubtedly result in breaking into the polls next week to set up a big matchup with Clemson. Will be a good measuring stick to see if we’re actually good or if our ACC schedule has just been soft to start.

Yes the schedule ramps up from here on out and I agree that Pitt and ND will likely remain at the bottom of the conference this year; however, anytime you can go on the road and sweep a conference foe in miserable weather is a solid accomplishment.

I'd also add that Va Tech took the series from Louisville (#16) and I believe Va Tech is a tournament team. Are they likely to host....Very doubtful but I feel that fake tech will make the tourney.

I'd also point out that ND went to Clemson last weekend and not only won a game but lost game 1 by a 2-1 margin.
So as Coach Herb Brooks would say..."Play your game".

Impressive that the offense continued to roll despite bad weather, tough weekend by Burress, and no K. Schmidt.
Special shout out to C. Daniel on one of the best ab's I've seen in a very long time. Almost ten balls fouled off and worked a walk.

Still contend Riley is better out of the pen but the coaches have made their mind up and no one gonna change that. I will say this. If we have both Paden and Patel coming in for long relief, it's almost like they are starting on the weekend. Patel for 6 innings -Saturday. Paden- 4 innings today. But please get someone ready to close for Tate McKee though

If it works, it works.

My daughter has a competition in Tn next weekend so sadly I'll miss the biggest matchup of the season but whoever is going next weekend.....Bring it home boys!

RPI up to 21. Still amused that ND is 15 for RPI ???? LOL. I won't say a word here

I’ll share what I won from last week with you!

Satisfaction goes a long ways.

I play on line poker for chips only; no money. But the games are tough because most people care and play like it matters. Just satisfaction as a "worthless" chip count grows to almost 10M. I'll share some of those chips if you want.....

Looks like we settle in at #25. I like it. Not too much attention but enough for me to be satisfied

I was busy at the zoo all day yesterday and didn't get to watch. I'll go back and watch it later this week, but at first glance it looks like Riley had one of his better games. Although still only 3.0 IP. Good to see Paden back and still rolling. Maybe they're just saving his arm since he's had so much injury history? Seem odd that they'd play it one way with him and another with Patel given both of them have significant injury history. Granted Patel is an extra year removed.

Good to see the offense just keep offensing even with Drew "struggling" and Schmidt out. This lineup is every bit as deep an any of our other recent offensive juggernauts.

Pretty sure I hit all three too.

I see what happened ">17" was supposed to be "<17." I should've picked up on that, but I honestly just saw greater than 17 and selected thinking it was the max without even considering that it was low.

I think we probably had some others do the same.

I was a victim of this incompetence too. ...you get what you pay for. Granted... had I "read all the questions" ... my haste would not have been a waste.

My suspicion, and it is only that, is that Paden had an illness last week that prevented him from being available for the Pitt series. It's also possible that they thought Swygert could get the job done and that they could save Paden for the late innings. Then, when we fell behind, they didn't want to use Paden with a run deficit.

I would file a formal complaint with Nuke's legal representation (FredJacket). However, you'll have to take a number, as my complaint from the Pitt series hasn't yet been adjudicated.

Asked, answered and denied. No further appeal.

As to the typo, the only recourse is to invalidate all results. But I won't do that to @YJMD who was properly perceptive.

There is going to be a twist for the Clemson series

I mean, 3-0, GT >17, and ND 14-20 was correct, so I think those of us who got it right just got it right. I've taken the over on GT runs all year. Pretty sure I've done 3-0, GT max runs, opponent middle runs all year.

You should be docked points, then, for lack of creativity. (j/k)

I'd just like to note here that I am now 6-0 while attending Tech Baseball games. So if anyone has any NIL money to throw around, I'm listening...

I'll throw in a well run major league organization for you to root for if you want to come over from the dark-side.
