Diamond Deacs 2019 (Offseason) | 5 Deacs Drafted

Huge series this weekend vs FSU. Granted they’re all big this late in the year. Anyone know why DJ isn’t in the lineup? Illness maybe? I know he’s been struggling with the bat, but he’s way too important to not be playing in center.

FSU with a lefty starter so Mueller in.
 
If Peluse can work on control, we will have a good Friday starter for next year. With his performance this year there’s little chance he gets drafted high enough to leave.
 
8-0 FSU in the 6th. It’s really sad to watch the seasons McSweeney and Meuller have had. McSweeney cannot thrownstrikes and now it has to be in his head. I believe he was a top 100 prospect entering the season. He’s on his way to becoming a mop up guy. Hope he can turn it around. Rayne Supple has similar issues before turning it around.
 
Deacs lose 9-5 as FSU pitchers strike out 17 WF batters on the day (29 K's in 2 days)

WF played the bottom 4 teams in the ACC (maybe the only ACC team to do so) and went 7-5 in those 4 series; that's not good enough

against the rest of the ACC, WF is 4-7 - also not good enough, but would be acceptable if WF had gone, say, 9-3 against the minnows (and yes, WF is also a minnow)
 
wild game #3 going on in Tallahassee

Muntz has a grand slam and Seymour has two bases-clearing doubles - but WF's pitchers have kept it interesting

13-8 good guys, still batting T7
 
our rpi is actually up to 65. I would imagine a win today would get us into the 50s.

I still think if we can win today and win the last two series, that we would be in pretty good shape. I don't see this team doing much with our pitching, but it would be nice to get in.
 
Got the win 16-12. sitting 26-19 (12-12) and 59 in the RPI.

Still on the bubble.
 
16-12 winners and up to #59 in the rpi

need to sweep 3 non-con games and take the series in two weeks from Miami
 
wow, FSU was a couple of inches away from having the tying run at the plate and one out

 
If we could have just gotten the same level of pitching out of peluse and mcsweeney as last year, we would be looking at a High seed in the ACC tournament be locked into a bid.

You mean giving up 34 runs in 3 games in Tallahassee is not good enough?

Deacs have 9 games left: Gardner-Webb, @ High Point, @ Radford and a home 3 games series against Miami and a road series at Clemson.

The ACC tournament takes the winners of each division, and then the 10 teams with the best conference record. 12 teams make it; 2 do not. Deacs will get in the tournament, and will likely need to win a couple, at least.
 
With their SOS and current RPI, I think Wake needs to be at least .500 in the ACC regular season to make the tournament. Which unfortunately means taking half of the six games against Clemson and Miami.

ETA: Yes I believe Wake's magic number to clinch an ACCT berth is 1. They hold the tiebreaker over VPI and are up 5 games with 6 remaining.
 
On the other hand Clemson has not been playing good baseball recently and we have Miami at home.

You have to beat some good teams to make the tournament and this seems to set up about as good for us as we could hope.

Our predicted RPI has us spliting the 6 conference games and going 3-1 OOC. That would have us with a predicted RPI of 42. Right on the bubble.
 
Really need to sweep this week's midweek games (off this weekend). Peluse should be good to go tomorrow, curious about tonight's game. Perhaps McSweeney, who only pitched an inning this past weekend, even though he's been awful the past month.
