2026 Baseball Mega Thread

[AppinVA]

Baseball time change to 3pm!
For those attending, plan accordingly.
Ready for some ESPN+ today. Will be soothing to hear Matt Presents voice.

Missing Matt big time

Yeah these guys doing the broadcast are….I’ll be nice…not great.

They're fine. The color guy is a little corny, but theyre fine. Yall are being whiny. Matt is on the way back from pensacola, he'll be back.

The entire production…let’s say, leaves a lot to be desired.

[311neers]

Sweep!
Now the fun starts.

[BUTCH1991]

They swung hard

[Stonewall]

They aren’t Gardner Webb.

[311neers]

Team ERA sitting at 4.72. Not bad.
Bats hitting .297.
We don’t strike out much at the plate. Need to walk a tad more, the walks fell off some lately.

For the most part, relatively healthy heading into conference play, especially the arms. Knock on wood.

[Appmountaineers19]

Right now that will put them in the top 100 ERA wise. I never thought I’d ever see that to be honest. Let’s hope the trend continues.

If this pitching coach continues to turn this pitching staff around, he won’t be around very long

This might be the first year pitching coach is making all the calls. We seem to be deeper this year. We’ve got a few starting options and deeper pen. But with the easy schedule we played, we might not be sure who to go to yet in the pen.

Marks midweek? (feel like him or Nolan could swap if Marks gets back to form)
Tibbett, Clark and Tramontana might get the most mid relief work.
Wilson/Harris/Watson/Garcia/Stanford late innings?
Fisher/Smith- closers
Barrazino when he gets back to health.

Might be missing some. That’s a decent stable. Doesnt seem like we will see Oblen or Zang, not sure of their status.

[BambooRdApp]

I HATE purple!!

[BambooRdApp]

RF throw out at the plate. Got out of inning. No harm done

[311neers]

Can’t leave them on looking.

[BUTCH1991]

We play like poop

[BambooRdApp]

We going to get "run ruled" at home?

[311neers]

It’s just a scrimmage.

Anyone else tired of us not taking midweeks seriously?

The weak OOC schedule and treating midweeks as bullpen work days have run its course.

[ncman071]

damn 9-1...wth...

[Stonewall]

Embarrassing

[IM4ASU]

Will this be Kermit's last year?

[Stonewall]

If he has a losing record I expect a change.

[311neers]

Will this be Kermit's last year?

Tracking that way.
Swept by Omaha bound GWebb.
Destroyed by Western.

Need to steal a couple of series in conference play and not get beat by similar foes in midweeks.

[ASUFan4863]

We will see what happens on 3/10

I didn’t like what I saw. It’s going to take a turnaround at this point to save Kermit’s job.
