Like the aggressive base running. Press the issue.
Not really. Suspect. If we got Edwards out after 5 and it was 0-0 still I think Forbes would have been happy. 3 runs a huge bonus. Plan was to work counts and get him out earlier than they wanted.
That was a good, quick read - he doesn't score if he hesitates at all there.
Yall keep the updates going on this thread. Can’t watch or listen to the game so I am depending on y’all! 
Say what you will about our at bats there in the first but outside of that I’ve been happy with our selection today. Seems like a much more conservative approach than we typically see under Forbes lineups.
That first inning set all of this up for our offense, kid is pushing 80 pitches through 2 2/3

We left at least one out there in the first but they gave us one back.
Hard to argue with 3 innings, 4 runs, and 77 pitches.

That’s a great break! Run scores. Runner safe. 4-1 Carolina.
That deserves another Friday afternoon beer.

Strong answer by O. Pitch count 76 through 3- will pay dividends today and tomorrow.
Forbes lineups ultimately do what Forbes wants them to do. Depending on hitters and pitchers, he may want early swings or he may want to work counts like today. Let’s be honest. Edwards control is off and he’s helping us with our patient approach…
