The way it worked out, only Logan and maybe Crowl
Won’t be available for UNC. Baseball is about matchups and their was no need to waste Brent vs ND. . If VT can get 7 strong innings from their starter vs UNC good things can happen..

No brainer if you know you are locked into the ncaa
from the posts here, it looks like I was the only guy who didn't think we were a lock, and therefore had to pitch Renfrow today. Szefc and you guys knew better, we were a lock prior to today....I do not understand that, maybe you or Heartandsoul who was certain, can help me out. We were 46 rpi, with 7 quad 1 wins but a decent chance of losing 2 of those if Cal fell out of top 60. Also Szefc indicated Friday he thought we needed 3 more wins to feel good. We only got 2 last weekend. Great that we are in. ** Edited by vtfin91 at 5/20/2026, 10:29:12 PM ** Edited by vtfin91 at 5/20/2026, 10:32:53 PM

D1 Baseball, Baseball America, and USA Today all had us in the NCAA...
and they were all bracketologies from yesterday - before the ACCT. And we were the #3 seed in each Regional and were not mentioned in the "last four in" category so it sounds like we were solidly in the NCAA tourney,

People are saying that the baseball committee
Are paying attention more to DSR this season. and i think that's why the hokies are more solidly in than we think. And hokies are currently 24th in DSR

Sure wish softball committee had!
Sounds like baseball committee is moving away from RPI faster than softball is

To be honest, i was not 100 per cent certain . But pretty close. VT’s
Last month was huge and I like that VT is playing to win the whole damn ACC crown. The Hokies have improved dramatically in the last 30 days. Maybe they can ride the wave and win the league . Ethan and Logan have a chance to be top 2 round picks if they continue to develop .
