Duke baseball/CWS -- 2024 season
- Thread starter ConorONeill
- Start date
OFC
Duke had 4 players invited to the MLB Draft Combine, which starts today in Arizona. They are:
Jonathan Santucci, Fran Oschell III, David Boisvert and sophomore Andrew Healy
Healy is obviously the most interesting inclusion. He's in line for a weekend starting spot next season ... or he's going to be drafted for the reasons I explained earlier on this thread.

I hope this doesn't mean that you won't go to the prom with me, Hart. I've already got my white sport coat and a pink carnation. We can still be friends, can't we?

Watching this unc florida state game the Seminoles have had runners on first and second no outs back to back innings and haven't scored. What happened to the bunt to move the runners? They have a two run lead. Our local high school coach would bunt
Heck no SOUPY!! We have lined up 3/4ths of the HATE CAROLINA contigent to cheer you up. #NolesBeatTheHoles
All kidding aside, thanks for being a good sport! I am pulling for FSU,as they are the only ACC(non ABC team)remaining.
OFC
OK, Hart. Where did the SOUPY come from? Ya gotta tell me.
OFC
(I, too, will be cheering for the Noles, but UT and A&M are very tall orders.)
I've gotta say ... Tennessee and Texas A&M might have the two most-annoying fanbases in the country. If they're playing to decide the national championship, I think I'll opt to watch paint dry or grass grow.
True. But neither of them bring cowbells to games.
There use to be a pretty good pitcher for the Red Sox in the 70s(Bill Campbell). His nick was SOUPY or SOUP, because of his last name. LOL...
OFC
Ehhhh ... have a lot of golf to play in the next 3 days, so that'll have to do.
Try to hit it in the woods. More shade there.
After your golf game, could you please rate all "fan bases" in the nation so I know whom not to watch or root for?
OFC
Go ahead. I probably just need the terrible fanbases, not a rating for every school in the country. (Betting UNC is on your list!)
OFC
Hart, your first choice for most obnoxious fan base could only be the Maryland Twerps. Right? OFC
Most obnoxious fanbases:
1-UNC
2-UNC
3-UNC
4-UNC
5-UNC
6-State
7-Wake
8-Ucon
9-Tex A&M
10-UT
OFC
Just for fun, one of you should send the survey to THR, or whatever it is, and see their take on it!
OFC
PS: Wake? Really? no KY?
The party's over. See you next year, folks.
Congratulations to the Vols and their terrible fanbase.

Help me out here, Jim. Have there been any other Duke non-pitchers to make a significant MLB impact since McCracken?Joey Loperfido, "superstar prospect."

OFC
(PS: I now find myself looking at Astros' box scores, even though I'm not particularly fond of the team).
Depends on how we define "significant." Guys like Ryan Jackson and Nate Freiman hung around for a few years. Matt Mervis and Graham Pauley have had some chances and are young enough to get some more.
Alex Hassan grew up in New England and got a cup of coffee with the Red Sox at the end of one season. Fulfillment of lifetime dream.
I'm sure I've forgotten a few,
But Loperfido seems like he's on a different career trajectory. If he really is a budding star, that could be huge for Duke baseball.
I think we may have jinxed the poor guy, Jim. Seen a lot of 0fers since our posts. Now below .300.
One final comment: I did think, coming out, that Conine would have a real shot. I'm sure the PED association did not help his stock.
OFC
Agree on Connie. He had these weird minor-league stat lines, with lots of homers but nothing else positive. He's doing okay in AAA right now but he'll be 27 in a few weeks. Time is running out for him.
Santucci drafted 46th overall. Congrats! (But why did it have to be the Mets? I hate the Mets.)

Here is the short story posted late last night.
Can always hope that he develops well with the Mets and then they trade him.
Conor,
Can't we skip the winter and go right ahead to Duke baseball 2025? Use your influence, Bro.

Not at all, seemed like the appropriate landing area for him. Pirates get a potential first-round talent who struggled this season; Hartle still gets close to a $1 million signing bonus (if they come close to slot) and gets to start his pro career.
He seemed to be so burdened by pressure this year. And I think slight changes in his delivery/mechanics with the idea of chasing velo backfired, leading to inconsistency in his command.
