Game 57 - Georgia Tech 13 Carolina 6

[tarheelcoach]

The fact that Boaz is our 3rd starter is mind-boggling…..6.68 ERA coming into the game. Everything is up and hittable….

need to try Jackson Rose as the 3rd starter in the Regionals. He’s more consistent

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I think we all know Boaz isn’t a great Sunday starter, but moving Caden there could be a mistake. If Jason could routinely go to seven innings, then sure. Caden has had to bail him out too much this year. We need Walker for Ryan. It’s really unfortunate that we don’t have any other arms we can count on.

 

[Polkheel98]

Save him for what? We don’t play til Friday.

Because he threw 50 pitches yesterday! Why run him in the ground in a game we are down 5 runs in?

 

[goheels1117]

Dude, before the game started, Boaz’s stats on the year showed what he is. 3-2 6.62 ERA.

This was a worse outing than the last time he faced GT on a Sunday. Saying this was predictable.

Agreed, he’s not good. Our staff would love to start Glauber game 3. They’re not going to sacrifice games 1 and 2 to do it, though.

Not many teams have a third starter they trust.

I would start Rose at this point and hope for the best can he be worse than Boaz

 

[UNC23NDME]

Lefty heavy lineups and Boaz is great. Other than that, he’ll be able to turn the lineup over once. Just have to pick matchups with him next weekend

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Our staff would love to start Glauber in game 3. That would mean we won the first two games easily. They’re not going to save him when we need to close out a game to do so, though.

If you start 2-0 in a regional, somebody is throwing their 4th starter and deep bullpen arms by time you play again. At that point you have to win with offense.

But as I’ve said, we don’t have bullpen depth which is mind blowing to me. We throw 4 pitchers. We won’t win a game three in a super regional. Sure we will get through a regional because the comp is much lower, but this is exactly how last year vs Arizona played out.

Where is Jackson, Boston, Skip, Tom, Matty….?

 

[chapelheels]

Reminder we play a 9 inning game not a 3 inning one

Do you think Boaz has been good this year?

 

[KenansDad]

Starting pitching this weekend was nothing short of abysmal. 3 starters combined for 10 total innings pitched. Big problem.

 

[THB15]

If Boaz remembered where his defense was positioned with Gallaher up the middle that ball over his head would have been an easy double play and probably changed the whole inning.

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Y’all in here blaming boaz when he should’ve been pulled when he walked the bases loaded that one was on Forbes

The issue was starting him

 

[TommyAshley]

B3 cont

Hernandez - double of left center wall...clears the bases.....not great from Howe playing ball off wall.....6-1 Tech

Baker - 1U

Forbes out....McDuffie enters....

Brosius - K dropped third, out at first

6-1 Tech through 3

 

[THB15]

No reason to throw Walker more than 35 today.

 

[TarheelWFcpa]

Went old school with the radio out on the beach and this is what I’m picturing in my mind right now

Pretty much......

 

[UNC23NDME]

Let’s answer here and get back in it.

 

[THB15]

Let's score some runs and make a game out of this.

 

[tarheeltyler9]

The issue was starting him

Who else we starting Glauber pitched Friday

 

[mchi1ders]

Great move by Forbes bringing in Duff. Let’s get the bats going.

 

[KenansDad]

Game isn’t over by any stretch but offense needs to get going to stand a chance

Agree, and that’s this issue of all the bullpen depth never being developed all season. Would we have rather taken a couple more L’s to develop the staff(relievers)?

If we get to a game 3 of a Super, it’ll be better if we lose one handily than a close one where we burn good arms.

I’m disappointed that Rose hasn’t become a bigger factor after the Campbell appearance. His midweek starts weren’t as good after that. If you had asked me after that game, I would have thought he’d be our 3rd starter by now.

Sure would not be fun hanging out with some of the posters. Whoa is everything not going my way..

 

[tarheelcoach]

Boaz locates like he throws 98 but throws low 90s. Teams just tee off him

It’s not how fast he throws, it’s his location

 

[premn]

Boaz can get through an average lineup twice. He got through GT, the best offensive team in the country, once.

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Agreed, he’s not good. Our staff would love to start Glauber game 3. They’re not going to sacrifice games 1 and 2 to do it, though.

Not many teams have a third starter they trust.

Which is why we needed to develop the rest of the bullpen. If we could not win the other games with other arms, we know this is our limit. And that’s my point, many on here have been saying that our ceiling is low based off of only having 4 arms

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Makes him sound like a middle reliever hahaha...

It is when every AB looks similar

All of the bullpen arms got chances, nobody did anything consistently. Just giving them innings where they aren’t successful isn’t “developing” them. You can work guys longer to build up endurance but you can’t make them pitch better just by giving them innings. At some point they have to pitch well, and they haven’t.

 

[JoeyPowell]

Do you think Boaz has been good this year?

He’s flashed. Every player can’t win the golden spikes.

Every game isn’t played in a vacuum: GT is allowed to hit, too.

It’s T4.

should I continue?

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Reminder we play a 9 inning game not a 3 inning one

If we don’t score and give up 5 more, we play 7 hahaha...

 

[GoHeels834]

Only complaint I have had with Forbes is letting Boaz pitch at all. Should have been kicked to the curb a long time ago. I get Glauber has been lights out in the bullpen but he should have taken the 3rd starter role. Really he should be our 2 starter.

 

[TroyVaughn]

GT getting their revenge today

 

[6string]

and I thought the FB board was negative, geez.

He’s ERA is 7, this is not an isolated incident. I don’t think anyone showing concern over his performances this year is unreasonable

Now explain Boaz being what you just described but being given innings

Imagine losing a winners bracket game in the regional because we’re saving Glauber to start game 3. That would be silly.

 

[unctarheel1984]

Good thing McDuffie threw 45 pitches yesterday instead of 30 for really no reason at all.

Do you think Coach Forbes did that intentionally just to tick you off?

That’s not true
