Who all watched this weekend? 3 games to 1 over St. Louis

CobbFC09

Yep, I watched parts of every game. Good first series. After Friday, I was left wondering why there was no play-by-play guy in the both for the remainder of the games.

KingOwl

CobbFC09 Nolan did the Friday and Game 1 Saturday games. Gotta give the man some work/life balance. I wish they stuck an intern in there.

We were without a bunch of guys this weekend, probably due to protocols. Next week we will hopefully have more arms.

We'll be playing a tourney vs some really good teams next weekend at CCU. Should be good to see how we stack up.

CCU Baseball Tournament hosted by Coastal Carolina University kicks off tomorrow with an EARLY 10:30am ET first pitch. Looks like live stats only for Friday and Saturday, with Sunday's game vs. Coastal Carolina being on ESPN+.

We got smashed by WVU

Good win against UGA to bounce back from the disappointing loss to Coastal. I feel like the pitching has more depth than we've had in recent years, but I really don't want to look ahead after several seasons of disappointment.

Nice win. Seemed to fight back and not give up. Please, please let the pitching stay around. I want to watch competitive baseball this year.

KingOwl

Did you guys see that video on Twitter from the spoiled UGA pitchers? They are getting DESTROYED over it

SOWEGAbourbonclub

KingOwl oh yeah. I love they’re catching hell for it. I wasn’t offended by it. They’re just being college kids, but when you lose it just seems cringe. Doubt the coach would be happy to see it.

KingOwl

SOWEGAbourbonclub I agree. Even if it is true...if they're gonna talk shit, they better deliver. It's also a bad look for players with possible pro aspirations to do that kind of stuff. Their bullpen got outperformed tonight too and lost to UNF

CobbFC09

Team is really rolling. Good win over Georgia midweek and two so far over UAB.

KingOwl

CobbFC09 UAB blows but two wins on the road and guaranteeing the series is awesome!!

BurialGround

The pitching really isn't there once again this year. I feel like we're in for a long season, and ASun play is gonna be rough.

I think Williams and Horn missing the trip screwed us from the UAB sweep.

Colby and Grogan being out kills our starting depth.

CobbFC09

Good 5-1 win last night to start the four-game series with Georgia State. Weird having a four-game series end on a Monday, with two being on the road and two being at home. Guessing that's due to COVID-19 and the various scheduling changes they made for that or my ignorance when it comes to college baseball.

KingOwl

I am fine with the 4 game series since Georgia State is local and the kids won't miss another day of classes. We're going for the sweep tonight. Weird that GSU started the weekend at 85, and we started at 103ish. We beat them thrice and we're still a spot behind them lol

CobbFC09

KingOwl Where are you seeing these rankings? Surprised Georgia State is so high but strength of schedule likely in their favor as KSU has a pretty weak one.

BurialGround

That was a very good sweep of GSU, but we'll see where we are for sure this weekend. Liberty's coming to town, and arguably looking like the team to beat in the A-Sun.

GSU was like 5-17 and was #81 or so before our series hahahha.

Liberty is super high at #53. Winning 2 of 3 there could give us a nice boost

KingOwl

Series vs. Liberty cancelled on account of the rona
