Bunting was fine, Paulsen was fine.. you have to execute the bunt better than that.IMO the bunt was the right call there, but they should have pinch ran for Paulsen. Howe can play first. If Hargett is the pinch runner he is safe.
When I have a 2 run lead, I’m playing defense personally. I have been happy with our sacrifices… but I like that matchup with Howe swinging.I get it you don’t want to take Paulsen off first because he’s a plus defender. It’s not like Howe is terrible over there. It comes down to what is more important. The extra run or potentially saving the run.

You've definitely covered all possibilities and been adverse to the actual decision made....but that's what we are here for....Bunt was the right call with Hargett running for Paulsen. I clearly stated after I said bunt, that I didn’t like it with him still on second.
It was the worst outingit’s easy to criticize the pitcher. you must not know ball.
This is all good-natured. Everyone knows we have a great coaching staff. To have 41 wins already is amazing. It's just fun to debate baseball strategy.You've definitely covered all possibilities and been adverse to the actual decision made....but that's what we are here for....
It was the worst outing
or stronger and hit them outGround rule doubles are killing Gavin, he’s gotta get a bit weaker so they stay in the fence
Start a “call out” thread!Paulie is officially in a slump.
It cost us a national championship likely... playing a non regular at 1B...I’m not making my defense worse with a lead in the 8th inning just so I can bunt.
9-4 Carolina top 9 runners on 1 &3 2 outsScore?
He did hit his first home run in like 75 days last game...Paulie is officially in a slump.
And 20 years later, no one that follows Carolina baseball has forgotten that situation and what happened...It cost us a national championship likely... playing a non regular at 1B...
His AB’s when he’s not getting hits have looked pretty bad as of late. I will take it upon myself to call him out tomorrow. We need his bat going forward.He did hit his first home run in like 75 days last game...![]()
