2016 ACC Baseball Championship

Wolfpack Baseball, as well as most of the rest of the ACC…not to mention 3/4’s of the Big four…will be in Durham this week for the 2016 ACC Baseball Championship.
1/4 of the Big Four will be at home 8 miles away. See I KNOW it’s 8 miles because Dick Vitale tells me so, incessantly, at least twice every year.

But I digress…

Congrats to Wake and Duke for sliding in under the wire.  And to BC as well.  Well done, Eagles.

And Heels…..Memorial Day weekend is always a big time at the beach. So maybe consider a last minute get away. I mean it’s not like you’ll be going to class or studying, so what I’m saying is….treat yourselves and enjoy the time off.

A Quick Recap of How it Works…

Tuesday’s games are single elimination. Loser goes home, winner enters pool play in their respective pool.

Wednesday thru Saturday is pool play. Every team plays the other teams in their pool once. If you go 3-0 you are assured of a berth into Sunday’s championship game. If you go 2-1 and tied with only one other team, whoever won the head to head game moves on. If you’re tied with two other teams at 2-1, the highest seeded team moves on…regardless of the head to head results.

For this reason, it is in our best interests to take care of business early and take both FSU and Miami down early. One of them will beat the other, preventing a 3 way tie with two higher seeded teams…Pack moves on.

Of course that is theoretical at best. Because if we lose to the lower seeded team and are tied with only them, they’d move on.

So just beat everybody and remove all doubt…is what I’m saying.

Sunday’s Championship Game is of course a single winner takes all. Not a best 2 out of 3 like in Omaha.

A (Very Brief) Hosting/National Seed Mention

We’ll probably host an NCAAT regional at home as long as we don’t go 0-fer in our pool in the ACCT.

We will not be a national seed unless we get to Sunday. And probably not even unless we take the whole enchilada. And maybe not even then. But we will be playing at least two teams with top level RPI (Miami and FSU) and potentially a 3rd if we make it to Sunday. Which will certainly help our resume. But right now the biggest thing we need to do is win some games.

FWIW, Pack’s RPI currently is #7. Unfortunately, poll voters were less enthused by our series win over Carolina than we all were.

Some Highlights from Last Weekend

And something that has nothing to do with anything, but it was recently shared with me and I found it darkly hilarious….

Go Pack!!!!!

    Wow, Tiggs beating the everloving stank off the ‘Noles.
    12-1 already and still batting in the 3rd. Ouch.

    Ouch. What a beatdown (so far). Not what I expected for the ACC tournament championship game.

    And the once so called beat down is no longer, and the noles have been making a game of it. Now 18-13.

    If the weather would cooperate, they might could get this finished before Tuesday.
    Clemson looking like they wanna give it away.

    Welp, they finally got it done.
    Clemson is your ACC Champion, and might have even worked themselves into a national seed. Outstanding job by the Tiggs.

    18-13 Final, Tiggs top the ‘Noles.

    Not exactly a pitching/defensive gem by either club. Meh, who cares. Only took about 8 hours to get it done.

    Certainly this is good news, but I thought that the NCAA’s stance on HB2 precluded this? Maybe we hired a bunch of attorneys or the NCAA is convinced that Raleigh is not really in NC (LOL)?

    Just hope our pitching can become more reliable, for any success we may desire in the NCAA tourney field. Go Pack!

    If Williamson can go, we’ll be fine. If not, we….may not be fine.

    I just read Williamson is scheduled to have Tommy John surgery and is done for the year.

    Good luck to him and hopefully the surgery goes well.

    Coastal Carolina, St. Mary’s and Navy. Very manageable regional.

    Well that’s not ideal. Sounds like one or two folks on the staff are gonna need to tighten up their game quickly if we hope to do much damage. I’m looking at you Corey Wilder and Johnny Piedmonte.

    Don’t sleep on Coastal. They could very easily roll into Raleigh and steal our candy.
    I wouldn’t even call it an upset if they did.
    Very good team/program.

    As an aside, I’m very surprised they paired us with Baton Rouge. That was a surprise.

    Johnny Piedmonte.

    The GT stint made me believe, this needs to be the guy.

    Agreed. But Wilder finding his command for about 6 innings wouldn’t suck either.

    #104068

    We’ll need to score a bunch and stay in winners bracket. Throw Wilder in game 1, save Brown. We may get out the regional but the lack of starting pitching and bullpen depth hurts. Even with a healthy Williamson, it was a problem. No Williamson, big trouble. Somebody needs to step up.
