Ain't played nobody, PAWL!
What do we know about klemp’s son’s squad?
Bold strategy Cotton, hope it pays off for the Deacs...I heard Falco was going on Saturday and Hartle on Sunday. Could be wrong though
BIG, if true.I heard Falco was going on Saturday and Hartle on Sunday. Could be wrong though
GrossNot sure if this was posted yet, but D1 put out potential regional host sites as of May 8. Got the Deacs as a #2 seed in Athens regional.
2024 D1Baseball Field of 64 Projections: May 8 • D1Baseball
The latest D1Baseball Field of 64 Projections are out, and while there's no change in the top eight, there are two new hosts in this week's projections.d1baseball.com
Is Cam Cannerella the dude who ejected last year in the extra innings of the Super against Tennessee for running his mouth?Quick Clemson Breakdown:
As IAppreciateIt mentioned above, Clemson's Friday starter is Tristan Smith. He's a LHP and a draft eligible sophomore. Last year, Smith was a reliever and has blossomed this year as a starter. Clemson is 8-0 in his starts. Smith missed a month in the middle of the season. Even with Clemson's unbeaten record in Smith starts, he hasn't been dominant. In fact in his last two starts Smith failed to make it past the third inning. Smith is projected as a 2nd round pick in the 2024 draft.
Clemson has had problems with their Saturday starter. Clemson has lost the last 4 games started by Ethan Darden (to NC State, Pitt, L'ville and GT). Darden is a pitch to contact guy with only 31 Ks in 50 IP.
Clemson has also won every start (11-0) by their Sunday starter freshman RHP Aidan Knaak. Clemson has a +44 run differential (+4) in Knaak's starts. Knaak has the best numbers of all of the Clemson starters: 63 IP 44 H 20 BB 82Ks.
Clemson' best offensive player is 3rd baseman Blake Wright. He is a senior and not a big-time MLB prospect, but he has raked this year with 19 HRs and 65 RBI. Their catcher, Jimmy Obertop is a Michigan transfer, and has 16 HRs. Clemson's super-annoying CF is Cam Cannerella. He talked a ton of trash against WF last year.
Clemson's coach, Erik Bakich, is in his 2nd year. The Tigers hired Bakich away from Michigan, where he took the Wolverines to Omaha in 2019. Bakich was the HC at Maryland before Clemson.
The Tigers are 17-7 in the ACC and have won every ACC series, but one; losing 2 out of 3 the NC State, when Tristan Smith was out. They also swept (2-0) S. Carolina. Clemson will have a big pitching edge on Sunday with Knaak against Falco; so, WF winning at least one if not both of the first two will be key. Clemson has had the opposite of WF's conference schedule. WF has played the top 4 teams from the Coastal (UNC, UVA, Duke and VT). Clemson only played Duke from the top 4, but has also played GT, Miami and Pitt.
One of the scrubs on Clemson's bench is former Brave Jeff Blauser's kid.
I think we see Hawke tomorrow. The way he's hitting, albeit against weak opponents, and playing the field has been really good this past week. I honestly wouldn't mind him just straight up swapping for Tellier. Telly's glove leaves a lot to be desired, if I am being honest. And he has stopped hitting for power lately. Gotta go with the hot hand in crunch time.KLEMPSON has two lefty starters (smith & darden) on friday and saturday. wonder how aggressively we go w/ platoon shifts in the starting lineup (esp. on friday since burns gives up so few balls in play). maybe we see austin hawke out there. also curious if they go with morales against an LHP. it's also been a while since king has played CF. if they don't wanna mess with that, maybe there's a repeat of yesterday and reinisch plays the field and we open up DH.
So it’s happening?BIG, if true.
(it is indeed the case)
You can’t sit Tellier.The Deacs don’t have enough quality right handed batters to sit Tellier against lefties
Yeah ...So it’s happening?
