We just have to hope that Jason and Caden can get it done tomorrow. More importantly, our offense needs to step up. That has been the most frustrating thing for me.
We got 5 runs in 5 innings when the best pitcher in the nation was starting. What more do you want them to do? USC is known for their pitching as we are. We just didn't get it done on the mound

Im trying to talk myself off the ledge we beat Arizona 18-2 game one last year and then lost the series….but this feels just as bleak as being on the wrong side of an 18-2 game.

Good thing we knocked out their ace starter and got into their weak bullpen early. 🫩

The best laid plans of mice and men …

But it isn’t over yet. Let’s go, Tar Heels!

Pregame analysis - USC starter is Jesus Christ. Bullpen is what you want to get to….

i caught heat last week saying Coop needed to sit. You can’t look at that last at-bat and defend him. I get he has pop but if he can’t make contact then why does it matter

It's the post season. You play to win today. You don't worry about tomorrow. You play your best today! If Forbes is pulling Lynch you have to go to Glauber. That's the recipe to win game 1.
Y'all are really upset that he went to McDuffie? Like…really? That’s crazy. It’s a great move. McDuffie has come in many times and induced weak contact or struck out a batter to get out of an inning. He’s just as much of a right choice as Glauber there. My goodness…

Yup McDuffie has been used in that exact spot over and over this year just didn’t work out

Credit to our fans today. They showed up on a terribly hot day. Can’t blame them for not supporting their team. Good job.

Yeah tomorrow will have to be 100% better at the plate and hopefully Sunday. Play like this tomorrow and we will be sitting at home next week
stranding 3 early was a bad sign but built a decent lead regardless ... games not over but it's a tough hill to climb ... we can win two in a row but dropping this one will hurt

What’s crazy is our best path to trying to guarantee a win in this game was probably to give Glauber the 6th and never let Lynch face their order a 3rd time. But Forbes would have gotten crushed for that and it would have made navigating the next two days really tough.

Hahaha…sit? He’s one of the best defensive 3B in the country. So you’d shift around the entire infield to get what bat in the order?

I knew some pedantic *** would come in with a snide matter-of-fact comment like that. I’ve been watching in person and on TV since the Indiana series. We can’t do it when it matters. See the NC State series as Exhibit A.
We’ve executed many bunts this year but you probably weren’t watching.
