The ACC Tournament opening-round game used to be called the “Les Robinson Game” because of all the times Robinson and NC State played, and usually lost in it. Starting to think the Wild Card Series should be named after AJ Preller.

2026 prediction:
May: Walkoff HR at Petco Park sends national media into a frenzy. Padres are “World Series contenders.”
July: AJ Preller makes many trades. National media declares him a “mastermind.”
October: Padres are eliminated in Wild Card Series.
Rinse, repeat for 2027.
