Nick Mingione has gone from nearly getting fired two years ago to having Kentucky atop the SEC and in position to potentially host a super regional. I don't know what kind of NIL opportunities baseball sees but he has absolutely killed it in the transfer portal.

OU softball managed a pretty convincing win over #1 Texas in the Big 12 championship… maybe we really can get the fourth consecutive national title?

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand it’s good for the area and I can walk to the stadium so that’ll be cool. On the other it’s going over the 715 monument.

Cats claim at least a share of the SEC with a win over Vandy tonight. Only the second time ever they've done it.

NC State beat Wake’s Clayton Burns last night to take that series, Pack heading into the business end pretty strong and probably back in the conversation for regional host now.

Saw this on Reddit and thought it was neat and nobody probably cares but me anyway here you go, a chart comparing this year’s home runs to record breaking ‘22 year. They could still do it if we play long enough.

pools for ACC play, being top seed in a pool is a huge advantage because you still advance if everyone goes 1-1. further big advantage in being in pool A or B because Pitt and Miami really just aren't all that good, though Wake is a hilariously strong 8 seed for UNC to run into

Bought Tix for the Friday AM session couple hours ago. Hopefully Louisville takes care of Miami on Tuesday so Friday ends up being the B pool game that matters (also allows us to pitch the bullpen on Thursday to set up a normal weekend rotation).

Gonna take a 1/2 day and try to catch the end of UVa FSU game.

My daughter graduates (Clemson bound this fall) Thursday, and we're throwing a party Saturday so this is the only time I can go unless we make the final.

congrats to her! i've got loads of friends in the English department there who are all fantastic teachers, hope she can explore that some if it's of interest to her

anyways i'd put Clemson as slight favorites since they have pretty clearly the easiest pool, just hoping NC State and Virginia make it out of pool play since that should be enough to secure regionals

Walked off OM last night, that always feels good. Whole game was a surprising pitcher’s duel between two not-regular starters. Our guy racked up 13 Ks thru 8

Gonna be a low key day in the ACC, Virginia and NC State are both playing teams that are drawing dead so expect to see a lot of back bullpen clearing. Pitt and Wake play to see which of them matters against UNC.

He can get away with it when he’s at home but he’s been kicked out of Hoover before. If enough people complain they’ll do it. It’s probably why he’s not as bad here.

Idk what you expect, Tony has said as much that he doesn’t care much about this tournament. Didn’t even send a starting pitcher out today.

Two years ago we won it and then got dropped by ND in the regional.

Last year we dropped out early then went to the CWS so clearly this means we should drop out early and a CWS is guaranteed.

Two elimination games in the ACC: Clemson-Miami, State-Duke. UNC-Pitt is dead and the Heels won’t want to waste any pitchers ahead of the Wake matchup tomorrow.

Clemson struggling with Miami early but still only in the 4th

Clemson comeback falls just short, big boost to the rest of the ACC field and the State-Duke winner in particular (though a desperate Miami team is also pretty dangerous).

Meanwhile Arky went 0-Hoover, though pulling Hagen after two was them throwing in the towel. They'll host next weekend but will be primed for an upset and might have to travel for a Super.

The 5, 6, 11, and 12 seeds advance out of the ACC. I got to see the majority of the scoring in FSU - UVa yesterday before watching Clemson come back from down 6 vs Louisville in a meaningless game walking off on a four pitch bases loaded walk. Very much fun. Some how made it up to see the end of UNC Wake in 12 back home on TV. And man did I sleep hard last night.

Was a pretty day for Baseball.
