What a season for Florida State. Nobody but them believed they could turn it around this quickly.
I've had a blast covering them all year and this video is my thank you for giving us at
@FQACC
and
@CollegeBaseCNT
a memorable season.
ESPN doing remote announcer crews for the NCAA tournament is embarrassing.
You’ve got Yesavage and Burns going head to head and you can’t be bothered to show up on site? Disrespectful to the sport
Every ACC host drew an SEC

. I guess we’re gonna find out how close the ACC really is to the SEC this weekend
NC State gets South Carolina
UVA gets Mississippi State
UNC gets LSU
Clemson gets Vanderbilt
Florida State gets Bama
Florida doesn’t even deserve to be in the tournament, but much like 2022 Ole Miss, here we are.
Why bother having a regular season if it doesn’t really matter?
UVA Coach Brian O'Connor last night:
"I believe at this level if you recruit the right kind of players that are talented & fit into your organization, you stick with them. Because when you stick with them, when you really need them, they come through."
Jay Woolfolk today. Wow
You guys know what’s better than 19-31? Being 38-12 with Soto, Stras, Gray and Ruiz about to be 2023 all stars and the
#6
ranked farm system in baseball. I have fixed my
#OOTP
Nationals!
Lastly, I spoke with Griff O’Ferrall (
@UVABaseball
) after his 3-5 performance at the top of the lineup.
I asked him what it was like going from hitting in front of O’Donnell, Gelof, and Teel at Virginia to hitting in front of Laviolette, Condon, and Caglianone for the USA:
MLB: we allow female reporters to be harassed, we don’t care what young people want, and we refuse to market our stars.
Also MLB: why can’t we find new fans? It’s gotta be pace of play
Fran Oschell III (
@DukeBASE
) was the pitcher of record in Team USA’s game 1 win over Chinese Taipei.
After the game, I asked the dominant Duke reliever what was working so well for him today:
@OnePursuitTakes
Yeah you should be ashamed of yourself. What you did was unacceptable and unbecoming of your standards as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

The emergence of Aeden Finateri and Cam Jones in their weekend rotation is a massive reason why
@GTBaseball
has a shot at winning their 4th straight ACC series.
This is a tournament caliber team.
Caught up with
@FSUBaseball
’s ace pitcher Jamie Arnold after another good outing to talk about competing in the ACC, his growth from last season, and how fun this year’s team is:
I needed some time but I wanted to express how grateful I am and how lucky I feel to have covered this special
@DukeBASE
team this year.
From Ben Miller’s ‘stache to Logan Bravo’s walk up song… from Zac Morris’s breakout year to Chad Knight’s ACC Championship base hit… from

You mean the guy that passed on going in the first two rounds of the draft specifically to go to Georgia Tech?
Im not saying he won’t transfer but he was a Top 50 prospect that everyone wanted out of high school. Why choose to go to GT when he could have gone anywhere?
5 years ago today, my younger brother and best friend took his own life. I miss him every day.
I’ve lost too many family members to suicide but it’s the loss of my Irish twin that hit me the hardest as we were inseparable since he was born.
Wake Forest pitching, despite losing Lowder, Sullivan, Keener, and Minacci will still be unreal.
Chase Burns and Josh Hartle might be the best 1-2 punch in the country
Rather than doing an ACC baseball preseason ranking, I decided to split them into tiers based on how likely they are to be competitive within the conference.
Did I get it right?
Special moment in the 9th inning when they came out of the game.

Pitt made the ACC Tournament just once before the pair arrived in 2021. Congrats to both special Panthers on
With the retirement of Ryan Braun, there are currently just 2 players from the Top 10 of the 2005 MLB Draft playing in MLB (Cameron Maybin is in the minors)
Those two players are Justin Upton and Ryan Zimmerman
Devin Obee talking about the “fans” that made the Duke bench aware that his double was actually a home run.
Duke reviewed the play and it was indeed, a home run.
I made a lot of moves in OOTP to make the Nats competitive and Stras immediately got hurt for the season and the team is 5-11. The bullpen is chaos, and Soto is on the 10 day IL
This game is too real
NC State has been injury-riddled this season and faced obstacle after obstacle. And yet they just keep winning.

breaks down what the Wolfpack have overcome this season and what they still have to play for.
Dad, mom, and younger brother (and UVA home run king) Jake celebrating Zack Gelof’s first MLB hit- an opposite field 2 RBI double off the top of the wall.
I had the pleasure of meeting Georgia Tech 3B
@rjaros9
and his father Ken tonight.
Ken stopped me as I was leaving the ballpark to let me know how much he enjoyed our weekly ACC show.
I just want to thank Ken and everyone who watches/listens to our content. It means so much

Excited to announce that
@CollegeBaseCNT
will have an interview dropping tonight with
@bethanybradsher
about her new book “Never Take This For Granted”.
If you’re an ECU fan, or even just a college baseball fan, it’s a must read!
@CBCJakeMck
Don’t make it sound like these kids were cheating. The adults used ineligible players from outside their area. No in-game cheating was occurring
Accidentally bought 11 tickets to the wrong Marlins game and can’t get a refund so basically imma have a whole row to myself and 11 identical Trevor Rogers bobbleheads
Sources say negotiations “are at the one yard line” and that a deal will get done this morning. New signing is just 5 months old with years of team control
Mad props to BC Twitter who made sure their guys won the fan votes (by ridiculous margins) for the
@CollegeBaseCNT
ACC All Star ballot.
I can confirm that this resulted in at least one of these players making the squad (alongside 2 others that were not part of the fan vote 👀)
