Game 44 - Duke 3 Carolina 1 - Series Tied 1-1

[Hhs2013]

Lol yeah 8 and 9 are auto outs (and good chance for two)

 

[goheels1117]

Nunez would be having a better night if he went up there without a bat.

 

[THB15]

Nunez tries to pull a pitch 6 inches outside 2-2 on double plays.

 

[tarheelbrown]

Nunez hits into his second DP tonight, right?

 

[THEChapelthrill]

I understand getting the pen ready, Lynch hasn’t exactly been lights out, but losing right now isn’t all because of him.

NONE OF IT is him, actually. He’s a bit wild but Dook should still have a goose egg. And a lot less pitches on his pitch count.

 

[kenankommando]

Wow, it's getting crowded under the bus.

We'll be alright.

 

[Hhs2013]

No Hynek?

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Nunez has to touch the front edge of the base. Not on top. He would have been safe

 

[THB15]

Do you? Think there’s a couple names in play.

Probably Jackson but outside chance it's Cayden.

 

[RogerThatHeel]

I just made the dumb mistake of looking at dook’s record. Yikes. There’s plenty of game left, but we have got to get some runs ASAP, and let’s get to their bullpen. I believe, but it would be awesome if we could do something here.

They’ve had a couple of decent wins but they aren’t world beaters by any means. I feel like we’ll get things going. Hard to sweep any team, but at a minimum the Heels should win this series. Anything less would suck.

 

[RogerThatHeel]

IMO, they 100% missed that call. Looked safe by a half step. SMDH

 

[uncjhodges]

Anytime we think a guy may be separating himself at the bottom of the order, they’ve absolutely self destructed

Front foot was clearly above the bag with the ball in the glove

 

[THEChapelthrill]

Bottom line: for this team to reach what it wants to, Ryan Lynch has to be better. He’s got electric stuff, but he’s not has the fastball for basically a month.
Has to figure it out.

There’s no gun today… is his velocity down? Hes been less than expected all year for me. I expected a nice little jump/ improvement from his frosh season. I know he was throwing 94-95 last year against AZ…

You obviously saw something different than I did.

 

[THEChapelthrill]

Did French have a few at lunch today?!? what in the world?

 

[THB15]

Just wild.

 

[GraceNugent]

back-to-back Ks for Lynch

 

[GraceNugent]

make it three strikeouts for Lynch to end the fifth

Rivalry factor on the road in play. Just need to win the series but it’s also only 3-0. We can come back

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Lynch has settled in and looks good, offense has to put something together

 

[unc80]

Attaboy Ryan! Now help him out batters.

 

[footballlover10]

Lynch’s slider and 2seam play so well off of each other when he’s in command

 

[unctarheel1984]

K K K

That was nice.

 

[THEChapelthrill]

Can I be an announcer?!?

“Sure looked like the change up, didn’t it?!?”

What?!? Clearly a slider…

 

[TommyAshley]

Lynch through 4 - 68/48, 5H 3R 0ER 5K 1BB 1HBP, 1WP....

 

[unc80]

Wake up on GT 3-0 in the 1st.

 

[THEChapelthrill]

Can the top of the order do something… please.

 

[THB15]

Auto out.

 

[KenansDad]

Bats are a complete no show thus far … 3 runs in 14 innings. And these ABs after first inning are dreadful. Very little even hit hard or out of infield. And Gallaher has brought absolutely nothing for quite a while now.

 

[goheels1117]

The late sinking movement is just causing us to pound everything into the ground, even when we hit hard.

23 innings of pretty rough offense in ACC games going back to Sunday.

 

[GraceNugent]

Lots of ground balls by UNC thus far, just in that inning (which was only 5 pitches) was a 3U, 4-3 and a 6-3

 

[TommyAshley]

Lemke through 5 - 56/33, 3H 0R 1K 1BB 2HBP. 10 ground ball outs.....

 

[THB15]

Weak *** ground outs.

 

[goheels1117]

I don’t think we can just count on Gavin to turn it on at some point.

 

[THEChapelthrill]

This offense this weekend….

 

[Hhs2013]

You obviously saw something different than I did.

As did the umps who confirmed the call

 

[unctar2001]

 

[Hhs2013]

8 and 9 are huge liability

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I believe, but it’s getting tough. We just aren’t disciplined at the plate, and every time it seems like we might get a little momentum, we hit into a dp. Come on boys, please do this.
