Game 54 - State 7 Carolina 2

[SpencerHaskell]

Tar Heel bats need to get going here, 2-for-15 on the afternoon

 

[KenansDad]

Really good job by McDuffie. Bottom line is bats need to get going

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Folder good for 2 times through the lineup. Great job Walker to shut the door and give us a chance. Let’s get some runs or at least get this guy out of the game .

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Would really encourage everyone to watch some other Sunday games around the country

Look at what GT is doing to a ranked BC team. It’s not pretty for birdball. Our offense needs to wake up.

 

[unc80]

Attaboy Gavin!

 

[MayetheForce]

Hard to complain about the #2 team in the country that only has 9 losses, BUT

Pitching depth and the inexplicable occasional cold bats are going to be what limits this team’s ceiling

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Macon can’t make an out on 1 pitch with this guy at 85 pitches.

Why do you think other teams lose games?

I think that poster who said they weren’t worried about who were facing on the mound because of how well we are hitting might need to delete that. This is ugly.

 

[Psycho50]

Paulsen back to his regularly scheduled program today

 

[TommyAshley]

T6
Gallaher - singles to right
Winslow - L8
Paulsen - K swinging on 97mph heater
Nicholson - P7

[sweetcaroline1874]

Obviously I want to win, but at this point I just want to at least put up more than one run.

Just not our day

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Just not our day

Yet…

Yeah, terrible day at the plate, so far. You’re not going to beat many teams with those numbers.

 

[premn]

We have 3 elite pitchers who give us 225 pitches every weekend, a Saturday starter who is as good as anybody when he’s on, and a Sunday guy who can usually get you 4 innings. I think pitching depth is fine. We don’t have anyone else in the bullpen who is automatic like Glauber and McDuffie but most teams don’t even have one of them.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Just not our day

If they can get into the pen... State relievers have given up 9 ER over the first two games.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Yeah, terrible day at the plate, so far. You’re not going beat many teams with those numbers.

3-for-19 now.

 

[TommyAshley]

B6
McDuffie on mound

[unc80]

Set down fack boy!

3-for-19 now.

Is that the worst we have been this year through six innings? It has to be. That’s brutal.

 

[premn]

The angle on the wall down the foul lines has produced at least 4 doubles on balls that bounce 90 degrees back into play this weekend. Hull had 2 himself yesterday.

 

[Heelexplorer84]

If they can get into the pen... State relievers have given up 9 ER over the first two games.

That’s why Macon making an out on 1 pitch was tough.

 

[premn]

Hope this guy throws some balls

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Wolfpack goes to the pen... LHP Luke Hemric enters... to whom I will tip my cap for having the best walk-up song of the day (War Pigs Black Sabbath)

 

[premn]

Ball was at his shoulders

 

[unc80]

Strike at the shoulders? Sure Blue.

 

[RogerThatHeel]

Home plate ump is ready to go home. What a pathetic called third strike.

 

[goheels1117]

The catcher didn’t even think strike 3 to Howe was a strike.

 

[premn]

Why do they keep saying we have a top 5 offense?

 

[unc80]

The catcher didn’t even think strike 3 to Howe was a strike.

It was above his head so yeah.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

FYI, Hemric has given up a combined 16 ER in his last four appearances

 

[TommyAshley]

T7

LHP Hemric on mound for State

Howe - K swinging
Hynek - P3 foul
French - BB
Schaffner - K looking

4-1 State going B7

 

[BlueHeels02]

So low smdh

 

[Psycho50]

Too close to take when you know ump has expanded his zone

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Ump ringing us up at the neck and ankles lol. Wow

 

[premn]

ump is ready to go home

 

[JoeyPowell]

First time I’ve felt like this team wasn’t playing loose in a long time. It happens.

 

[Razbill23]

3-1 count with 2 outs down 3, and we don’t take the bat off the shoulder…..
