⚾ 2024 Baseball Offseason

Baseball
303

Schedule released yesterday.

Non-conference slate is tougher than most years, two neutral site tournaments to start the season. The Round Rock tourney should be the much tougher of the two with games against Oregon State and Oklahoma who both hosted regionals last year. Also have a midweek game against Maryland in Fredericksburg.

As for the conference slate, the month of April looks tough. Road trips to NCST, FSU, and GT, and it also sucks that we only get two home weekends in April and May when the weather gets better as that hurts ticket sales.

We don’t play UNC, Clemson, or Wake who are all supposed to have top 25 caliber squads (former two supposed to be top 10-15).

Don’t have a sub, but Aaron Fitt (D1 Baseball) had this to say about the '25 Diamond Hoos…

Anyone considering the Round Rock (basically Austin) tournament? Hometown for me, just a matter of which / how many of the games I attend.

I might pop down from Dallas. Didn’t put two and two together that it’s that round rock

That’s one day I will always remember at Scott . I believe it was Michigan that lost that day and once we beat NC STATE we moved up to #1 in the country. Scott stadium was rocking

Edit: That was 34 years ago. Damn!

It was sweet but fleeting. I will never forget that GA Tech game. I was there to see the train wreck.

I was on the goalpost after we beat Clemson that year… on the one hand it feels like yesterday, but on the other hand it feels like a lifetime ago.

A stupid penalty cost us that Georgia Tech game. We fell apart after that

Hadn’t they beat us something like 39 straight games?

I told a friend at work, “Nobody beats UVA 30 times in a row”. We had a good laugh.

The White Sox are receiving four minor league players from the Red Sox in the Crochet deal, including catcher Kyle Teel

Both love and hate that for Teel. He’ll have a pretty easy path to the majors but it’s for one of the worst ran organizations in major professional sports.

Hope he kills it there regardless.

I heard it was for a pre-arranged trade, so true destination TBD.

Phillies aren’t in a position to carry a Rule 5 guy on the roster all season.
