I seriously doubt you’ll be at the game this afternoon or the games this weekend. I doubt that you’re a season ticket holder… ever have been or ever will be. I doubt you invest anything in Tech, but you’re still welcome to pretend to know anything about it all.Quote:

Our baseball fans need a lot of practice looking at balls and strikes. UNC pitcher piped several called strikes and our fans were livid.
Ball sounds dead off the bat. Were there changes made to bats or balls in offseason?
Even balls getting squared up don’t sound right to me.
ESPN would be missing out on the ad revenue if we went with a 2-camera setup with a PxP person and put it on another platform. So they insisted on ESPN+ being the exclusive home to any digital broadcast Tech produces.Quote:

FWIW, the first game today will not be on live radio. WBB will be on 97.7. Game 1 will be streamed on the Peach App.
Baseball will potentially be bumped in favor of WBB on 2/24, 2/28, 3/6, 3/9, then during the WBB tournament which will likely only be for one game.
ALL of the WBB games can be found on ESPN+.
The home plate umpire was inconsistent the entire game. We have a few fans who stay in the home plate ump's ear the entire game just for fun.Quote:

You referring to Corona getting thrown out?
What’s the word on Cole McConnell?
I believe he has to sit out the series to satisfy his suspensionQuote:

The problem is overlapping games like baseball and basketball today. Do we use the same equipment at multiple venues?Quote:

So far, so good thanks to a surprisingly much improved pitching effort and some sound defense. Hopefully this senior heavy team will figure out how to put the ball in play before the weekend series is over.
