I like those picks Mackus, especially Carolina winning and dook going out in the first round.

I will differ with you on only one minor point: I think GT will beat UVA in the semis.

As much as I'd love to avenge the 2 losses to VT at some point in the tournament, I'd be content to avenge both the Maryland and GT losses en route to the title.

And as much as I'd love to roll the trifecta against dook this year, I'd be just as happy tp see them go down in flames to State.

I'm not even going to attempt any predictions, but I will say this to UNC fans: Look out for FSU in round 2. They're on the bubble, and they have the best player in the league (if not much else). Just like Tech last week, talent + desperation can make a decent team better.

I agree, I really, really wanted to pick FSU over UNC, and I think if either Clemson or FSU can put beat UNC that they'll get into the tournament. With the way Thornton played this weekend, it looks like he knows the only way FSU gets to the dance is if he carries them. This is the reason he came back to school, and I think he's gonna have a great game against both Clemson and UNC. I'd love to see them win and the ACC to get 8 teams.

I am literally too frightened to make picks right now. Seriously. I feel like I need to wait until Wednesday afternoon when I'm down in Tampa to do it, because that will have meant I've waited as long as possible to try and forget what happened on Saturday.

Until then, I'll be trying to come up with some rational explanation to pick Virginia to even win one game so you guys don't call me a homer.

I'm just gonna throw this question out there, and see what people think:

Is there anyone, anyone, that thinks that UVa can beat Duke (assuming Duke beats State)?

I'm pretty sure I'm the only UVa fan on the board, and I might have to get drunk to convince myself we can beat them.

Round 1:

MD over Miami

Duke over NC St

FSU over Clemson

GT over Wake

Round 2:

Duke over UVA

MD over BC

FSU over UNC

GT over VT

Round 3:

MD over FSU

Duke over GT

Round 4:

Duke over MD

WOW! Talk about a homer pick. Here are some real picks!

RD 1

MD over Miami

Duke over NC State

Clemson over FSU

Ga Tech over Wake

RD 2

VA over Duke

MD over BC

Ga Tech over Va Tech

UNC over Clemson

RD 3

UNC over MD-very close hard fought game.

Ga Tech over VA

Final

UNC over Ga Tech

Maryland loses a great game mainly due to being tired and UNC having relative fresh legs. Ga Tech is playing really good ball right now. Maryland gets a much needed extra day off and it is no great dissapointment losing to a rested UNC team.

Why can't you beat Duke. UVA had super quick guards and Duke's guards are too slow to stick with the Terps guards. If Cain can hold his own and either Diane or Joseph get hot down go the Dukies...You've seen the sign..."Beating Duke is so easy that even a caveman could do it!"

Of course you can beat Duke. The X-factor for you, as you said before, is whether Diane and (guy whose name I forget at the moment) hit jumpers. They have you beat down low, but you have better guards.

Perhaps but Duke has a favorable road to the final game IMO.

IMO, GT, MD or Duke will win the tourney. If GT beats Duke, i wouldn't be surprised.

It is a homer pick, no doubt. I wouldn't be shocked if they won, but would be surprised.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By eddie83 · Posted

      A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By MDtransplant757 · Posted

      I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point?

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle.

      Choices: how many big long term contracts will the O’s be able to afford?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea, for this season. As I said, any of those guys are capable for a season or 2 but the odds are that they won’t live up to larger contracts and that you don’t want to get into expensive deals with guys like that.

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Good question. I have been so focused on this season I have given zero thought to the 40 Man and Rule 5. I think Santander gets QO and O'Hearn goes FA. We could lose both. I don't really see any young guys that "must" be protected other than Mayo, McDermott, and S. Johnson. D. Johnson is having a nice season as CF is a need but not sure he belongs on the 40 man. Davidson is having a nice season. I could see him taking a deep depth spot to replace Zimmermann.

      I wonder if he could comp with the glove to a guy like Alec Bohm? Big dude, not a great defender, but doesn't kill his team and makes some great plays along the way with the glove while mashing with the bat.

      That's good. By the time he gets back he'll almost 31, so there's some age decline uncertainty to go with the health uncertainty. I certainly won't be counting on him for anything. But you can hope 2 years of light workload (and a reinforced ligament) will rejuvenate him.
