Let's GO!!!

 

[unc80]

I'll be interested in seeing the lineup. It hasn't been producing well lately.

 

[dondon21]

Globe Day! Makes sense given the game scripts + extra rest next week.

Positive vibes for the lineup today. Be on time for the fastball, do your job, take the extra base, expose their inability to hold runners. Baseball rewards those that do the little things well

 

[Psycho50]

Became a big game after yesterdays debacle

 

[Malachidad05]

Their pitcher has a 5.15 ERA. We really need to attack him early.

 

[TarHeelDad]

Let’s go out and take this series! Go Heels!

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Good feeling we will come out a put a few up early to take control. Team is full of a bunch tough dudes, will be a good day.

 

[fireandrain]

I like Glauber in the relief role but today is the perfect day to start him, with our bullpen still fully loaded and ready.

 

[HoopsHeel]

You had to know CG would eventually get a chance to start. Good time to try it now, right before the break.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Let’s go Caden! I’m so happy that’s he’s getting his first start. It’s well earned!!! Hopefully our bats will heat up today, because yesterday wasn’t great.

His BAA is really pretty good (hint:it’s better than all three of our starters). I wouldn’t expect early results either the way we’ve been swinging it. Just gotta hope we don’t have him go career longs like the first two we’ve faced.

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

The fact McDuffie is rested is what makes this possible. This becomes a Glauber / McDuffie game.

I personally believe that after we took the series from GT and beat them pretty bad in the first two games that the Heels were feeling pretty good about themselves. I think they rolled into Durham thinking they just had to show up and that dook would be easy Pickens with just a half hearted effort. Well they barely got away with it Friday, but not last night. Hopefully they will approach game 3 with more effort and desire.

Don’t drink the rat poison! Go heels!

Can our bats be alive?

 

[TarHeelDad]

Three up, three down awfully quick.

 

[GraceNugent]

Quick work for Andy Leon to begin the game...7 pitch first inning, both Owen and Gavin out on the first pitch they see

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

Damn…wanted a little more impact in T1.

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

Is Duke’s pen taxed in terms of their best arms?

 

[Chooch]

Amazing how strong dook pitching has been against us.

 

[TarHeelDad]

Unless we put more pressure on them than fhat first at bat it won’t matter. We made that inning too easy for Leon. He has been bad. We don’t need him gaining confidence.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I just don’t understand swinging at the first pitch. It would be great if we could at least get into their bullpen.

 

[GraceNugent]

RJ Hamilton homer, second home run that Glauber has given up all season. Only other one was Tague Davis from Louisville (who leads the ACC in longballs with 25)

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Wow, that’s a pretty horrible start.

 

[TarHeelDad]

Damn. What an awful start for us yet again

 

[premn]

Well,

 

[TarHeelDad]

We lose this series that will be a horrible loss on our resume.

 

[unc80]

Amazing how strong dook pitching has been against us.

I believe my daughter could get Gallaher out.

 

[goheels1117]

The first home run Glauber had given up all year to somebody not named Tague Davis (who has 25), right?

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

It’s still crazy to me that a week after we run ruled GT, we’re struggling in game 3 against dook. Dook! Come on.

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Globe has to get ahead

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Caden is really struggling. I’m not used to seeing it. He’ll settle down, I hope.

dook has been pretty awful this season too. That’s the bad part.
