Game 3 - Indiana at UNC

[GraceNugent]

Matty got up to 91 mph on his fastball, during his first few pre-season scrims he was sitting around 88-90, which is great for his point of he's still getting the comfortability of in game work with his pitches but all of this weak contact back to the mound is just what you want.

 

[GraceNugent]

First Big crunch time down situation for the Tar Heels, will be big to see how this team responds to that this early in the season

I get it but if you’re getting a good enough secondary you can take that easy out the dirt to the backstop, much less halfway up the baseline

Catcher running too. They’re usually going to be conservative on the bases.

 

[goheels1117]

12 runs earlier today don’t count?

The 6-run innings in both of the first two games were full of Indiana mistakes. Yes, we’d scored 21 runs in 15 innings before this game, but I didn’t think we’d looked very good offensively. And that’s not very surprising in February.

12 runs earlier today

This game has been rough, but did you not watch us beat this team 12-2 four hours ago and then 9-4 yesterday?

Still not impressed. A lot of walks and hit batters. Missed a ton of opportunities to score. Indiana is not good. I’m not saying we suck. Just not impressed offensively so far.

Every team has what the heck games, but geez. Our offense this game has been brutal.

Tough crowd

Figured this would be a relatively easy sweep but guess this is what you get with early season baseball. Pitching very good. Bats struggled first two games until mid to late innings and the entirety of the third game. But pitching and defenses are normally ahead of the pack at this point anyway. Team has promise just needs the reps.

Tough crowd

i don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the offense hasn’t been great. it’s taken some help from indiana to blow the first two games open. The pitching staff has been as advertised though. 8 runs in 3 games and i think 3 unearned and 2 additional off a bad bounce off the second base

 

[CFowl]

Bats have to wake up. IU has gifted us runners but we need to plate a few

 

[BlueHeels02]

Matty ice cold. Lets win this

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Come on boys, we have to at least tie it up here. Indiana isn’t LSU for crying out loud. We need some Bosh magic!

 

[GraceNugent]

Matty with a fantastic outing...2.1 innings 3 strikeouts and a ton of jammed up batters with weak contact to either 1st or back to the mound

 

[GraceNugent]

Schaffner, post error, with the all important lead off hit (yes the box has ruled it a hit, it would have to be fielded perfectly with Schaff's speed)

 

[GraceNugent]

Gallaher singles through the left and UNC has runners on 1st and 2nd

 

[KenansDad]

Alright, something brewing with 2 on, nobody out … let’s go!

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Need Paulsen do something here

 

[GraceNugent]

Paulsen walks and bases are loaded for Cooper Nicholson

 

[Psycho50]

Its wierd seeing a 44 that isn't Luke

 

[BlueHeels02]

Come on bases loaded

 

[GraceNugent]

Nevermind, Cooper Nicholson will not be hitting, Lee Sowers will be pinch hitting

 

[GraceNugent]

Dr. French is running for Paulsen

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Why is Cooper not hitting?

 

[GraceNugent]

PANDAMONIUM...throwing error on a routine ground ball by the IU second baseman and it is a tie game

 

[Psycho50]

OH MY

 

[BlueHeels02]

OMG LOL

 

[premn]

horrifying for their 2B

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

STELLAR OFFENSE

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I’ll take that, but what???

 

[oldwell]

Wow

 

[Ol’DirtyMac]

What’s wrong with that 2B!?!?! Let’s get one more and go home!!!

 

[uncjhodges]

Guy just spiked it

 

[Psycho50]

Most 8 year olds make that throw easily. WOW
He got money on this game?

 

[Hhs2013]

Bro’s controller died at the worst moment

 

[ticket2ride04]

omg I feel for that kid. WOW

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I really want to win this game, but I genuinely feel bad for that kid. Yikes.

 

[GraceNugent]

for the first time this season we are going to extras here at the Bosh, free baseball! Stay tuned after this game I will have post-games, nuggets an analysis story, everything

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I’m no expert, but could someone explain to me why Lee hit for Cooper?

 

[premn]

Genuinely one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever seen. I do feel bad for the young man.

 

[KenansDad]

It is really, really hard to win baseball games when you leave 13 on base and 3-6 are a combined 0-14. But Heels have new life!
