Duke baseball -- 2024 season
- Thread starter ConorONeill
- Start date
Thanks, Conor. Is a sweep of Clemson too much to ask for? What the heck, I'll ask for it anyway.

Ha, it doesn't hurt to ask ... but I think Duke is in *great* shape with another 2 of 3 series.
I'm convinced that's all anyone should want in ACC series other than when you play one of the worst 3-4 teams.
Doing something a little different with weekend recaps ...
Here's the link.
It only has yesterday's win over Clemson in there so far. I'm going to update it after today's game, and then again after tomorrow's series finale.

Interesting stats: as of the 14th (before Clemson game) Duke was ranked nationally in the following categories:
Batting average.......10th
ERA..............................10th
Hits.............................8th (Ben Miller, 6th)
Home Runs................3rd
Runs...........................15th
Not shabby at all.

Weekend recap is up to date and complete.
Duke lost the last two games after winning the series opener.

Our day 2 pitchers have been awful the last two weekends… what’s up with oschell? He’s been terrible
It seems like in trying to ramp him up to contend for a starting gig, he lost some of his effectiveness from last year. He looked great at WF last weekend and had a scoreless inning in the midweek series against Rider ... next outing or two will tell if yesterday was a blip in his return to form or more of a concerning trend.
I'm surprised that we only dropped two spots in the rankings, to #11.

Took series from #9 Virginia. (Had to try hard to beat you to it, Conor!)

4-0 lead turned into 4-4 quickly
We were lucky to pull out today’s win.
We usually lose our second day games in the series. We gotta get more out of them I want to see pollard reach Omaha
Wow what a way to get the programs first ever sweep against Miami!
I know it's a baseball thread but I saw the softball team is #1
We can have softball discussion in here, too -- not going to violate any rules.
Honestly I don't know. I really don't follow baseball nor softball but saw that they swept the Cheats and now are #1
Looked up the answer to my own question:
Texas took two of three from the Soonerettes.

Great wins at pit today on a doubleheader! That last one was close but glad we got it!
Conor, I saw that Ben Miller had to come out of the W&M game after being hit by a pitch, and didn’t play at all in this weekend’s series. I’m assuming he suffered an injury by the HBP. Can you (or anyone else) confirm, and do we know what his ETA for a return is? He’s having one of the best seasons ever for a Duke baseball player.
Yeah, got that question on Twitter, too.
Will see what I can find out this week.

Forgot to pass along from this morning:
Ben Miller isn't in the lineup for tonight's game against Gardner-Webb and missed the Pitt series because of a hand injury. It's not a long-term injury, but he was expected to miss tonight's game.
He *could* be back this weekend at VT.
