Coach Avent lives just around the corner from me. You don’t see him out very much but the few times I have have met him he comes across as a really nice guy. Just my gut feel but I would not be surprised if this was his last year.

Didn’t Forbes say yesterday, he didn’t want to tax glauber or walker and wanted to keep them around 40. now he’s doing it on back to back day in a 10 run game
He’s thrown a total of 100 pitches in 2 days. If he was a starter and threw 100 pitches in 1 day you wouldn’t be worried about it. If he pitched again tomorrow I’d be worried but that won’t happen.

I don’t know. They stretched out Lynch similar to this last year. Not sure it paid off. Maybe Forbes is just seeing how he responds with back to back days of somewhat heavy load.

How did it not pay off? He had dominant starts in both the regional and Super. Doing that with Lynch didn’t cause us to boot a DP ball or misplay a bunt.

Play to win y’all. Put up some runs and let other guys pitch tomorrow. That was a crazy a** game.
Globe was cruising stress free. The mistake in my opinion was not starting Chewy in the 4th? Lynch spent a lot of gas in 2 stressful innings. About 60 pitches in 2 innings is a lot. And he didn’t have anything off speed. You were up big. Start Chewy and he may cruise for 2 or 3 innings. And I think we have the best staff in college baseball by the way. Baseball is always a 2nd guess game

I don’t disagree, but I feel like people have been saying this for a decade.

After this game thread I'm not so sure some of you know this, but the Tar Heels are a very, very good baseball team. And for every decision Forbes makes that doesn't work out well, he makes about 100 others that work out great. Baseball games are long, to quote Tommy.
