I don't know if any of you have notcied, but the Duke baseball team is really, really, off to a hot start. With their walk off win today against Xavier, they are now 15-1. 15-1. That equals their win total from last year. Sean McNally has really started to turn things around, and it looks like Duke is starting to excell at yet another sport. Your thoughts?
Talk to me about Duke baseball after they play the ACC season, not Mount St Marys, St Bonaventure, Albany, and Holy Cross.Quote:

At least they aren't 1-15. Give them some credit. And yes I have noticed, and appreciate the efforts too Rocks!
There's no question that Duke baseball is heading in the right direction but it's a little early to start talking excellence. The ACC is a pretty tough neighborhood for baseball.
