I am so glad I didn't spend a fortune to be there sweating my rear off watching this
On tv there are alot of empty seats, so the greed of some unc ticket holders didn't pay off
There were still plenty of seats on the secondary market as of 2pm today
I admire those willing to sit in the 90 degree sun to watch a game. Night games only for me.

Fox/Forbes-if they face a program with a good pitching staff,they make the routine plays and can put the ball in play-they lose the game every time. How many decades have we watched the same BS time and time again. Forbes only know about 4 pitchers and has no clue how to play the matchups.
But many of us were saying it all season when he wasn’t developing anyone in the bullpen.

Rose looking good. Not bringing him in to face the first left hander and opting for McDuffie looking like a bad decision.
That was never a real option... you'd have to have seen the whole year to know that though. Duff just didn't execute. Promise the next time it'll be Globe first out, as Duff has cratered twice in Supers crunch time in the last two years.

It wasn’t a real option because Forbes hasn’t trusted anyone outside of Glauber and mcduffie in pen all year but rose been balling all year

Not sure playoff decisions should be made on the "whole year". Rose has had a decently hot hand of late and is a tough pick up for lefties. I get McDuffie's body of work over the reg season but he looks gassed.

We’ve still got tomorrow. I love this team too much to give up on them. It’s not over, so I’m shocked people are actually giving up already.
I agree, great team with tons of potential which we’ve seen pay off this entire year. I love Forbes, just today isn’t going well. I’m really hoping tomorrow they just go in with a new mindset.

Well the game was just completely botched from Scott. I mean there’s really no justification or hindsight for it. It was botched in the moment and they haven’t recovered. Can only hope tomorrow is different.

Needed base runners for a few innings. Right now, USC may be as good as there is left.
They looked less worn out than we in this heat. Power displayed, bottom of the order carrying a load for them.
Oh, well, there’s always another day to Vernette a W but that’s all.

Very disappointing loss. Plenty of ball left to play, but we will have to be much better tomorrow to see a 3rd game. IF we can force a game 3, we can still get this done. We shall see.
