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

[THEChapelthrill]

Me today anytime we have a runner on first with less than two outs….

besides this time Paulsen swing at clearly ball 4.

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Was looking to start the runners there 3-2 to stay out of a DP. Too conservative this game

 

[KenansDad]

That’s a whopping 3 runs in 15 innings now … more weak contact at bats. Just horrible

 

[JAG]

Come on guys quit hitting into Dp!!!!!!

 

[goheels1117]

The answer is .162 and .280... the point being he started slow last year and finished hot. Oh, and his OBP last year was .357.

That would be more relevant to me if he carried it over into this year. Not sure how it’s something that can be expected to happen again.

 

[CCHeel1]

Devils' defense has been good tonight. Haven't seen us hit into this many DPs in a long time.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I keep saying that there’s a lot of game left, but if we keep hitting into dp after dp, it’s not going to matter. I’m not even going to compliment their defense. We just aren’t doing squat at the plate.

 

[GraceNugent]

And the Tar Heels squander another chance, third inning where with one or no outs and men on first and second does not amount to anything

 

[unc80]

Peter Lemke or Greg Maddux?

 

[footballlover10]

Next time you bunt. I don’t care who is at the plate.

 

[THB15]

So anemic. Paulsen swung at ball 4 and then chased high for a DP. Complete rally killer.

 

[Hhs2013]

Paulsen swings at ball 4 and hits into a DP.

It was a hanging breaker right down the mid upper zone…should’ve been lifted out of the oark

Just really surprised, we haven’t started some runners. Especially a good contact guy with a 3-2 count

 

[Hhs2013]

That’s a whopping 3 runs in 15 innings now … more pathetic weak contact at bats. Just horrible

Against a team with a 6+ ERA on the year

 

[Hhs2013]

Peter Lemke or Greg Maddux?

This has nothing to do with ther pitcher

 

[uncjhodges]

We haven’t even given up an earned run in 15 innings

Yeah- grace said their d has been stifling. All they’ve done is taken hard hit balls right at them and turned double plays they should have. Ugh. How bout a fly out?? Half the damage. Maybe advances a runner…

 

[unctar2001]

I’m so glad we don’t have turf at the Bosh

 

[dondon21]

At what point do we bunt 1st and 2nd no outs? Get back to that identity / need to manufacture

 

[Dibbydo]

Carolina hitters making Duke pitchers look like All Americans. Cannot get ANY hits. And Gallagher; after such a great year last year, whew, been totally unreliable this year.

I've seen much more hard than weak contact tonight, but I'm not surprised by your opinion.

 

[KenansDad]

Lynch has done his job. Should be 0-0 right now. But unbelievable Duke is shutting this team out over 6. Need to get going!

 

[THB15]

Does Dook even have an earned run in either game?

 

[Pogo_ka]

Lynch pitching a shutout...except, you know the errors.

 

[Hhs2013]

Sickening Lynch is about to take an L to a pitcher with 1 strike out, 1 walk and 3 hit batters who somehow is still pitching in the seventh inning with the most average “stuff” you can throw

 

[unc80]

Just stretched for the Heels. Bound to get the hex off the bats.

 

[THEChapelthrill]

This is so bad from our offense for 16 innings. Two best starts of the year from Decaro and Lynch and we were within a single of going down to dook in the 8th last night, and are looking at a shutout tonight. Against friggin’ DOOK!

 

[KenansDad]

Nice single by Hynek!

 

[unc80]

Attaboy Colin!

 

[Hhs2013]

Man that Hynek hit would’ve been useful several times earlier in the game…

 

[Malachidad05]

Wonder why Hynek wasn't in the lineup to start

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I just made another mistake by looking at this pitcher’s stats. Yikes. He is just not good.

 

[THB15]

comical just beating his sinker into the turf.

 

[GraceNugent]

UNC is running out of outs in their current offensive state

 

[GraceNugent]

the problem: Lemke has only put one down with the strikeout but the amount of groundballs and rollovers he's induced is something else

 

[THB15]

Warning track power.

 

[Hhs2013]

Gifted them this win

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Jake has wing at a ton of awful pitches both games

 

[premn]

Trajekt broke
