2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Gotta win 2. We still have our horse left today.



Took me a while to find us but we’re in the upper right! Let’s see how long we can stay there. Throw strikes. Walk at the plate (which we have not done the past few games)

Throwing strikes and be disciplined at the plate has always been a winning formula. I wish our hitters were a little more disciplined at times. We've made a ton of outs on the first pitch of an at bat. It's really annoying when we do that against a guy that just came into the game.

Rough finish. Salvage one tomorrow

That might be the nail in the coffin. Great guy. Turned the program around. But that can’t happen 2 days in a row to a meh program. We are respectable now as a program but it’s the same stuff year in year out.

Meltdown. Gardner Webb ?!?!?!

DG was under tremendous pressure to make a change last year but didn’t. It will be interesting to see how the season goes and the end result this offseason. 2026 is largely a make or break year for DG. How basketball ends and baseball progresses/regresses will determine what is acceptable in the fall.

[BambooRdApp]

Somewhat comical that this is a big year for DG due to basketball. Has basketball ever averaged this many wins over a sustained period?
Maybe DG should be evaluated for his football head coaching hires. That would be a better observation.

[ASU07]

Totally agree. Kerns is a fabulous coach and the best hire DG has made. To suggest his future may lie on how basketball ends is absurd.

[Stonewall]

Not hearing anything about DG pressure. It is true about KS , last year and unless he has a solid season , I suspect a change will be made.

Someone tell me Gardner Webb is a College World Series type team, please.

Gardner Webb is a CWS type team.

There, I said it with a straight face

[Appmountaineers19]

Whatever the outcome of this game is - Presbyterian is not good. Should be a nice bounce back series.

[Appmountaineers19]

Any intel on #7. Doesn't look like he's listed as a pitcher

[311neers]

Why does it feel like we’re hitting so many grounders this year? Nothing up in the air.
Changed approach since we’re lacking power?

[311neers]

Our guy? Steven Smith?

Yea he’s thrown for us multiple times this year. Pitched and hit last year wherever he was. Belmont Abbey maybe?
Might be one of our best players. Grinder and competes.

[Appmountaineers19]

Here we go

[311neers]

X! Clutch hit! Need 2 more. 7-7 B9. 3 games down to the wire.

[311neers]

DuPonttt keeps it alive.
1st and 3rd 2 out.

[311neers]

DuPont web gem. He’s really really good everywhere.
