They always make sure that Puke gets to start in its home state. Brutal bracket - the consensus, undefeated #1, Kentucky; Big 12 season champ Kansas; ACC Tourney champ ND.

They play at home and have a cakewalk bracket. KY, KS, ND, and MD all in the same bracket and Duke gets Gonzaga, Iowa State and Georgetown. A joke.

I am shocked. Md a #4 in Kentucky's bracket? Virgina a #2? Duke, who finished second n their conference and didn't even make it to the ACC championship game a #1? in their home/local bracket no less. This is ridiculous .

I fully expected Md to end up a #3 and in Duke's bracket.

Why shouldn't UVA be a 2 seed?

I think Virginia should be a 2 as well. You could argue for them over Wisconsin if they didn't win the Big 10 tournament, and I guess you could have had Arizona as a 1 as well. Duke got a huge gift with this bracket, it's a shame.

Maybe he meant that Virginia should be a #1. If Maryland was penalized for being in the Big Ten, why wasn't Wisconsin?

If VA had beaten Carolina, I think they give them the 1 seed over Duke. Since Duke beat UVA head to head, and they are both coming off losses, I can see why Duke gets the top seed.

I don't think Villanova is a 1 seed caliber team. Not that they don't deserve it based on their resume, but I think they'll go down early. I might have NC State beating them on my bracket.

I don't know too much about Nova. All I know is Scottie Reynolds and his bunch burned me bad when I was in Vegas for the tournament several years ago.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
