I don't know but maybe Forbes should have had Paulsen take the 3-1 pitch. The pressure was on the pitcher to throw a strike in that situation.
You can’t just auto take a 3-1 pitch with bases loaded with one out

you still want to do damage. It’s obviously easy to say that now but that makes no sense

Sorry, but it’s just INEXCUSABLE for a supposed fan to call an 18-22 yo kid a “moron” because he swung at a bad pitch. It just is.
I agree. I’m saying that all these “Ive been here all year and you guys are big negative meany” posts are just a little nauseating. I get how relentless negativity can be a buzzkill, but just ignore it. Besides, it’s not like our performance has been immaculate…

Really hoping we pull this one out. DeCaro is giving us one hell of a last outing at the Bosh.

Unlike yesterday, the Tar Heels have struggled to get the leadoff man on, which limits their options

Yeah that’s something you do with a 15-year-old hitting .180 in JV ball, not a dude in the middle of a D1 lineup hitting .300.

Makes plenty of sense when a pitcher is struggling to throw strikes. 1 more run versus no run. It would only have been strike 2 anyway but who knows? He popped up by swinging on a clearly ball 4.
