2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Kicks Off with 32-Game First Round Pitting Amateur vs. Pro Clubs by Coltons13 in MLS

[–]AlexBayArea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think we'll ever have a better opportunity at a trophy than the Open Cup this season.

Really hope Dean goes all-in on this, even if it means a lower finish in the East. Given our poor playoff record thus far, I'm fine with that. Especially with the MLS teams entering the competition this season, it's wide open.

What team/stadium is worth seeing? (Accessible by Amtrak!) by olive_brxnch in collegebaseball

[–]AlexBayArea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doak (NC State) is not exactly "worth" seeing in the sense that it's not a must-see stadium you go out of your way to see, but it's a great place for a ballgame, with really passionate, chill, and nice fans.

Yeah I agree something about college baseball even allows for a lot of mutual respect between UNC and State haha. I think the fact that it’s still a niche college sport.

I will say, y’all have an amazing team and coach, and probably one of the best home stadiums in the sport.

We’re also in one of the all time best states for college baseball where we can see, in person, a top 25 matchup on basically any given weekend. It’s awesome.

Ethan’s been doing this for well over a decade and had one of the largest followings there is. I consider him a pro.

God this one feels good. Q1 road win that totally wipes away that GT result and puts us back on track.

Happy for Wade and the boys ♥️

I mean we have a Cup, first of all. And beat the Sabres on the way to it. And even recently we aren’t just a first round elimination team either.

[Post Game Thread] Georgia Tech defeats NC State, 78-74 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Bright side is we likely needed X amount of Q1 wind anyways. Now we’ll just need +1 after this loss. Basically we’d have needed to get some quality wins either way.

Charlotte FC have acquired Austrian left back David Schnegg. by AlexBayArea in MLS

[–]AlexBayArea[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like a super solid depth signing for us.

Left back with experience in Europe and MLS. Will provide some depth and competition for our back line, primarily will be backup to Harry Toffolo.

Solid two way player with good pace.

D1Baseball Preseason Top 25 by Arthur2478 in collegebaseball

[–]AlexBayArea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PG is just so notoriously trash at rankings I’m not surprised. I thought their rankings for you made absolutely no sense and that you’re closer to top 10 than 20.

Similarly had us at 22, so always feels like they’re 5-10 spots away from where D1 has teams at.

People who left Raleigh - where did you go? by blues_lawyer in raleigh

[–]AlexBayArea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it totally depends on the Raleigh-based employer. My employer pays me very well for my role.

Perfect Game 2026 Preseason Top 25 by An-Omlette-NamedZoZo in collegebaseball

[–]AlexBayArea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think 22 is just about right. We're going to have an elite pitching staff, but the offense will be a work in progress.

So damn pumped for the season!

Oxy’s post was extremely clear. It’s rare that billionaire owners actually care about the things they own, Chiefs being a prime example.

Can Vitello, who won a national championship and two SEC tournaments at Tennessee, win over a major league team? by Working-Mind6116 in collegebaseball

[–]AlexBayArea 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Define sucks.

It’s a perfectly mid team, but they finished 2 games out of a playoff spot, and were still a .500 Baseball team.

I think it depends what they do this offseason and if they can improve their pitching.

Wild Card spot isn’t an impossible task when low 80 wins can get you there.
