My best friend was an undergrad at ECU, and is now in the DNAP program there and is pulling for Carolina right now lol. He has season tickets to the big 3 at ECU..

Yeah I understand it to a degree. Most people will favor the team they grew up with.

This board is pretty critical of Forbes' coaching moves from time to time.

But, IMO, bringing in your best reliever in a high-leverage, non-closing situation is a ballsy move. And in this case was 100% the right move.
I used to think come postseason game threads that these fans never watch us play until the postseason. I’m now beginning to wonder if they watch any baseball at all.

People upset about bringing our best 1/2 reliever in during a high leverage situation to relieve a starter they were all saying wouldn’t give us 3 innings.

Now we got somebody that wants us to bench our 3B slugger and move our 2B back when we have a stellar defense already.

At least one poster doesn’t understand splits vs righties and lefties.

It’s baseball people. You should watch and enjoy. We got a great team. Are we perfect, nope. But it’s college baseball, you won’t see perfect often.

People just like to complain. We’re very fortunate to have Forbes.

Disagree, there are teams in the top 8-16 that have more depth in their pen and overall staff than we do than can absorb bad situations better. We have four absolute horses but it feels like we have no confidence in anyone else to fill meaningful innings.

If ECU scores 3 in the bottom of the ninth last night then we’d be at home watching supers because of our lack of depth and how we managed game 1. That’s just what concerns me moving forward. Hopefully we don’t have to dig too deep.
Your argument would’ve been fine without the second paragraph.

Yes, we’re thin. I can agree with that. We just have an incredible mix when you take the offense into account. It would take what you say plus a bad offensive night. That happens in baseball but I’m not betting on it in a Best of 3

It’s also easy to look at stats and think other teams are much deeper. If Rose or Matty can step up, we’re pretty deep. And it seems like they may be able to do so.
