Game 62 - UNC 4 USC 0 - NCAAT Super Game 2

[HannahUNC]

Déjà vu

Yup

 

[WilmingtonNCHeel]

I mean you just can’t swing at that. That was HORRIBLE

Trying the be the hero in the 3rd inning - just can’t happen.

 

[goheels1117]

Sometimes that’s ball 4. Sometimes it’s strike 3.

Considering it was 3-1, 0% of the time is it strike 3.

 

[LikeMikeAir23]

Swinging at Ball 4 when the bases are loaded…

 

[FowlHeel]

Jesus wept…..

 

[psychoheel]

Good lord.

 

[BigJulius94]

I mean difference in the two games so far

UNC w Bases loaded: 3 times 1 run
USC w Bases loaded: 1 time 4 runs

 

[unctar2001]

Can’t go to Omaha with that. Two chit ABs with bases loaded. Same thing yesterday. I don’t care if you get out or not but at least get in a quality AB

 

[Callatoroy]

They will pull that guy now. Really needed to get a couple of runs there

 

[Docbryan]

THAT may have been as damaging to the CWS chances as the Grand Slam yesterday!

 

[GvilleHeel]

FFFFFFFF!!!

 

[unctarheel1984]

That may be the season

Maybe wait until we are losing before quitting.

 

[CarolinaSkies]

3 and 1 and Paulsen says I’m going to play hero ball. A ball in his eyes and he swings.

 

[MayetheForce]

Too many mental errors, just can’t swing at a pitch like that on a 3-1 count. Take the free run

Frustrating team to watch this weekend

 

[uncjhodges]

2nd straight game we could easily be up 5+ runs early and we’re squandering so many chances

 

[LikeMikeAir23]

Sometimes that’s ball 4. Sometimes it’s strike 3.

He only had 1 strike on him. It would have been Strike 2.

 

[footballlover10]

Wasting 2 shaky outings by good pitchers is what makes this worse

 

[MDtarheel96]

Guys pressing a little at the plate . Not good

 

[unctarheel1984]

Oh look, we're pissing down our leg in the postseason again!

Speak for yourself.

 

[Anon1714654600]

This team so dumb at times. Tf was he swinging at ball 4 ???

 

[lward343]

Speak for yourself.

Think I'm speaking for a whole lot of historical precedent. Or did I miss when we actually won something?

 

[FourHeels]

Would have just been Strike 2. Should have been a take!

Exactly. In a 3-1 count you should be looking for a pitch in a very small area - your sweet spot. If the pitch isn't there, you take it. Period.

 

[Rmabe331]

Just really bad fundamental baseball this wekend at the plate. It's really hard to explain what is going on but it's been horrendous.

 

[unctarheel1984]

The casual baseball fans that show up here only during postseason infect this board with more poison than we find on basketball game threads.

 

[Heels096]

Just hard to watch a team be so good do so many terrible things compounded on themselves.

 

[Anon1714654600]

LMFAOOO this goes without any explanation

Jesus wept…..

 

[Headoverheeled]

Can’t go to Omaha with that. Two chit ABs with bases loaded. Same thing yesterday. I don’t care if you get out or not but at least get in a quality AB

getting ahead 3-1 usually means a quality AB. He just ended it with a bad swing

 

[Heels096]

Think I'm speaking for a whole lot of historical precedent. Or did I miss when we actually won something?

Sad but true.

 

[Hhs2013]

That’s been the difference. They load bases grand slam with a guy with no power on the season. We load them and nothing

 

[Calimike25]

Missed opportunities….

 

[Handle]

Can’t continue to miss offensive opportunities. Paulie has been big on both sides, but not his best AB. Hynek AB a bit different. Keep grinding.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Some of you should be real embarrassed about the things you’re saying.

 

[Hhs2013]

Nicholson bro….

 

[Heels096]

Mistake after mistake.

 

[Rmabe331]

The casual baseball fans that show up here only during postseason infect this board with more poison than we find on basketball game threads.

I haven't seen anyone personally say anything derogatory about a specific player or coach. I think it's like anything else it's do or die in the post season and people are a little more amped.

B3

Carpentier - F8
Urbon - 6-3
Covarrubias - E5
Ad Lopez - 4-3

1-0 Carolina

 

[unctar2001]

getting ahead 3-1 usually means a quality AB. He just ended it with a bad swing

An AB consists of an entire plate appearance. If I’ve been married 20 years and screw the neighbor and end up divorced, people aren’t going to give me credit for a partially good marriage

That’s the whole reason I said it wasn’t a quality AB. Not bashing, bc coaches would say the same thing

 

[uncjhodges]

Great inning by Jason despite USCs ********

 

[FayettenamHeel]

Nicholson can’t handle the bright lights

 

[goheels1117]

Big-time stuff by DeCaro to basically record four straight outs when his teammates needed him to pick them up.
