2023 College Baseball Season Thread

A lot of chalk on opening day of conference play. UVA took the opener over UNC in the most interesting series besides ours.

A lot to take in. But while most teams have pitching labs almost none garner the respect Wakes has. If you haven’t seen Wake play this year the size is noticeable; and the piece on the weight room shows why.

First big upset of conference play: BC swept a doubleheader from the Hokies today to take the series 2-1. Duke/Wake and UVA/UNC split doubleheaders with Wake and UVA taking their respective series.

FGCU climbed their way into the top 20.

UCF pounded FSU 14-3 tonight.

 

[BP Joe]

Semiholes down 7 - 1 to BC in 8th inning of their rubber match. Link tossed, at home, arguing balls and strikes.

Did D1 overreact at the first sign of FSU having success?

Vols get swept to open SEC play. They’ve only won one game against a team that’s more than a game over .500

**** Tony, told my old man they were making a concentrated effort to overtake Florida as the most obnoxious team in baseball. He doesn’t watch college much and was surprised to hear that knowing my vitriol for the Turds.

Second comment, FSU is not good. Their homer *** broadcast talking about how solid BC is (not inaccurate, a hair shallow but they’ll go on the road and fight anyone if they stay healthy) and how they’ll be the eighth Top 25 ranked team in the ACC after this weekend completely purposefully not mentioning we swept the turkeys who should drop to borderline or out and ignoring the fact that they too, should drop out… because they stink.

Apologies for the Sunday rant, sometimes I visit to impart equilibrium, sometimes I visit to let someone help achieve the same.

For those who like to follow a little bit of everything. Some other levels of baseball have their usual star studded programs. Dinkel has Southeastern at 30-1 I believe in NAIA and #1 in the country, North Greenville is still #1 in D2 and just go the kid back who hit 3rd for the C. Republic in the WBC. Tampa as usual is right there with them. Central Florida is #1 in D1 Juco and are absolutely loaded. Hopefully we have been up to see them. They are 30-2 and not just playing a bunch of slap **** community colleges.

VT is now 1-6 in the ACC and NC State is 2-5 after dropping their series openers

THE MIAMI EFFECT

THE MIAMI EFFECT

Or they were both overrated (I think VT is and NC State will figure it out). Guess we’ll find out.
