[Heelexplorer84]

Man . Can’t do walks to Putt

 

[THEChapelthrill]

I’m not feeling really confident heading into regionals with our only two quality starters struggling. No idea how lynch has so little control in his second year…

Not a great start to this inning. Tying run at the plate. Long way to go here.

T5

Wagner - BB
Fenderson - single to center, Wagner to second

Mound visit - McDuffie enters

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Here comes McDuffie

 

[KenansDad]

Another short starter outing. 3 innings and 90 pitches is nowhere near good enough.

 

[ranzino4three]

I’m sorry but we can’t reach our goal of winning it all if our starters can’t go 5. Especially when we have 2 reliable relievers.

It’s extremely concerning. I feel like we should be ok through the regionals, maybe, but once we meet a top 15 team in the supers, I don’t think it will end well. Counting on Caden and Walker to go at least 4-5 innings is crazy.

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

Pitching overall is starting to worry me. Feel like we can piece together enough to get through a Regional. But a Super is another story entirely.

It’s not this inning. It’s not winning this game. It’s recent history. He’s struggled compared to last year pretty much the whole year outside of his dook start. Yeah, that’s still pretty darned good. But that level isn’t gonna work with the current state of our pen and only having two guys Forbes trusts.

 

[goheels1117]

Who’s got the savant link for this game? Not sure strike 2 or 3 were in the zone.

 

[unc80]

Set down!

Don’t disagree

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Ryan gave up nine hits? Yikes. Pitt is patient and good at the plate, but that’s just not good. I don’t even want to look at how many walks he issued.

 

[GraceNugent]

this UNC offense has been on FIRE, Tyler Howe adds to the highlight reel

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Unbelievable play by Howe in LF

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Great play by Howe!

 

[goheels1117]

Sick play. Please be ok.

 

[unc80]

How do we do it? That's Howe!

Defense, you mean?

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Oh my goodness, Tyler, that was incredible. Please do not be hurt right now. Please.

 

[unc80]

Defense is ELITE!

 

[THEChapelthrill]

Woah… maybe the most suprised I’ve been real time when that the catch was made when they showed the ball falling and where Howe was… what a freakin catch.

Jason and Ryan aren’t struggling. One weekend doesn’t mean they’re struggling.

We have a top 5 pitching staff in the country.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

A fired up McDuffie lets out some emotion coming off the mound after that strikeout.

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

Love me some McDuffie!!!

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

Jason and Ryan aren’t struggling. One weekend doesn’t mean they’re struggling.

It’s not just one weekend for Lynch

 

[unc80]

Set down Pitt boy!

 

[TommyAshley]

T5 continued...

Dierdorf K
Pisacreta F7 on great diving catch by Howe in left center
Baran K swinging

Which AB are you talking about? anyways here it is

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Let’s get some runs!!

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Pitt Pitcher Drew Lafferty shaken up during warmups coming back out for the fifth inning... appears to be staying in the game.

 

[goheels1117]

Jason and Ryan aren’t struggling. One weekend doesn’t mean they’re struggling.

Ryan allowed 13 baserunners via hit/walk/HBP in 3.1 IP last week.

He allowed 12 in 4+ innings today.

25 baserunners, 22 outs recorded. If that's not struggling, what is?

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I would love to get Walker some run support here.

It’s all relative. He was All-ACC for a reason. For your 2nd starter, he’s as good as you’ll get in college.
