Let's GO!!

 

[nutz4Dheels]

Elated that we've won the series, but you need to win today or GT stays first in the conference standings. Need Folger to be sharp like he was last weekend. Good news is that we haven't really taxed our bullpen besides Duff. Go Heels!

 

[premn]

Need 4 from folger, 2 from rose, and then hold onto your butts after that lol

 

[FreddyB01]

Wonder if Glauber might be available for an inning or two?

 

[floridahighschoolcoach]

I understand he threw 45 ? Or so Friday night so if that's the case with a day off he should be good for a couple of innings.

 

[unc80]

I hope Globe is available. I expect we will need him.

 

[JimmyDaHeel]

GT has used 11 pitchers so far. Three of them (McKee, Angelakos & Buursema) have thrown 60 or more pitches. Hopefully we chase their starter early and get back into their bullpen (again).

I know little of such things
But I have read on occasion that there is a lot more reluctance to pitch a very young arm on such short turnaround?
EDIT
Tommy from another thread on availability
Globe Rose prob Matthijs. And anyone else not named DeCaro Lynch or McDuffie

I don’t spend a ton of time paying attention to other rosters. I’d imagine they are more stretched in their pitching staff than we are?

 

[floridahighschoolcoach]

Yes 45 or so with a day off is not ideal but not abusing either. I think we have to have a lead or at least a tie late to go to him.

Yep, that's been the plan. Jump on their starters before they settle in. Their bullpen is shaky. I doubt we're changing that approach today.

Happy Sunday!!

 

[dondon21]

Compete! Wind is moving today, interested to see which way the flags are blowing at the bosh

 

[jdHeel49]

Boaz/Glauber/Matty if necessary? We're in a great spot to sweep.

ETA - I thought it was mentioned earlier in the week that Globe would be available Sunday. We'll see.

 

[uncjhodges]

Would prefer to hold on Glauber in case of emergency going for sweep. If we can get 6+out of Boaz and Rose we’d be in great shape

 

[6string]

Would Glauber be available? He threw a lot of pitches and I’m not sure i would push him.

 

[unctarheel1984]

Happy Sunday!!

A few years ago I brought my broom to the Bosh on Sunday for a sweep (we got it) and they took it from me. Buncha kill joys.

 

[unc80]

Gusty day. Could make things interesting.

 

[TarHeelDad]

Should be absolutely gorgeous weather. Wish I could be there

 

[uncbornbred]

if you follow and listen to Forbes, there’s a pretty good likelihood he could be available … if glauber feels like it

GO HEELS

Game plan for today:

Souls

Go Heels!

I normally don’t post on the baseball board but kudos to the fans in Bosh. They are really into it. While watching yesterday’s game, when Carolina had the chance to close it out in the 8th, they were all up and raucous trying to rattle the pitcher. Great job by the fans and the Heels closing it out.

 

[CCHeel1]

We've still got Rose as well. I would bet he'd be first out of the pen

 

[maxmrnb1]

What a statement game if the heels win

 

[unc80]

It's probably asking a lot to beat a team as good as GT 3 games in a row, but please get it done somehow.

 

[uncbornbred]

“I know little of such things

or you decide to have a young arm throw until he tears up his arm/shoulder for the szn … and you coach @ lolstate

GO HEELS

He threw 58.

I’d say he’s available for an inning or so if we have a chance to sweep but not much more.

The 8th inning getting extended Friday night likely cost us a chance of being able to extend him today. He was at around 35 with 2 outs in the 8th.

The fans even got a shout out from the announcers, so great job to those that are there. To me, there looked like a lot of empty seats on the broadcast. Was that due to the really hot weather, or is that a "normal" crowd for the Bosh? For this series, I would have thought it would be sold out with standing room only.....maybe fans were at the top seeking some shade? Just curious.

Defintely a lot of this

Defintely a lot of this

I would love it if we could get the stands covered.

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

So GT is dropping Burress out of the leadoff spot? Interesting.

Lackey moved back too, right. Shaking things up is probably a good move

The concourse was packed for much of the game, with fans seeking some shade. The sun was brutal yesterday.

 

[TommyAshley]

approximately 30 degrees different in temp here today....wind gusts up to 25.....going to be an interesting 3+ hours here in Bosh....
