Game 63 - UNC 4 USC 3 - Heels to Omaha

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Why are we pulling Jackson? He has been doing well. What on earth is Forbes doing?

I mean he’s doing what he always does. Over coaching for no reason. As I said, if we tie it, we have no one left to throw in extra innings. There was no need to pull Rose

 

[Razbill23]

Idk if I have ever seen a hbp on an 0-2 count

 

[GrahamReese]

Mcduffie is a really really good regular season pitcher….

 

[Heels096]

Do we coach to auto take first strike?

Judging by the previous 7 innings, absolutely not

 

[GoHeels834]

Rose was rolling.

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Don't get this move to McDuffie even if he does well. Rose was cruising and now McDuffie is going to have to finish the game even if we tie and go to extras.

Classic Mike Fox/Scott Forbes over managing a critical game.

UNC intentionally walks Carpenteir

 

[unc879wins]

worked before.

Classic Mike Fox/Scott Forbes over managing a critical game.

Yeah interesting timing to start micromanaging given how the rest of the game trended

 

[Docbryan]

Yup. And I know baseball is funny and quirky and things can heat up in a hurry, but it's hard seeing a team this ice cold with RISP making a run in the CWS.

No one in this lineup Scares the other team at bat. We usually have at least a couple to pitch around.

Appears to be over managing. If Carolina comes back to tie and it goes extra innings it will bite him.

UNC intentionally walks Carpenteir

Shows you how much faith they really have in walker

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Clearly not. Did you watch innings 2-7 today?

They probably told Hynek to stop swing at the first pitch because he did every other AB. Except the situation in the this AB was jump on it against a new pitcher

 

[Pogo_ka]

So we walk a .250 batter to face a .356 batter.

LOL It worked out.

 

[goheels1117]

So glad Carter French came in for defense while trailing! Great to have him due up third in the ninth with the season on the line! Great stuff!

He’s more likely to get on-base vs. righty than any option we have.

 

[TommyAshley]

T9 continued

McDuffie on mound

Basseer - 0-2 HBP
Riske - 3U, Basseer to second
Carpentier - IBB
Urbon - 4-3

3-2 headed to B9

 

[RogerThatHeel]

28 now right?

That is not a recipe for success. It is what it is,

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Hit by pitch on 0-2 count..

That’s UNC baseball baby

 

[Uncy13]

Alright now or never. Please get some hits

 

[HeelsGrad&Dad]

Intentional walk?

 

[unc879wins]

ok. uno mas

 

[GraceNugent]

That's the top of the ninth; great job by Walker after his last appearance. Tar Heels have three more outs to work with offensively. Howe, Nicholson and French are up

 

[ranzino4three]

Bosh Magic time! Go where you go and do what you do!

 

[jamesfromstatefarm]

 

[TennesseeTarHeel1999]

Thank god we got out. Please offense if you ever had a moment of greatness in you make it these next two at bats

 

[tylerhol]

Praying for a rally. Dear Lord please make it happen

 

[unc879wins]

maybe forbes should have micro managed first 6 innings? lol

 

[FanaticalHeel]

How fast does this bottom half of the inning go? I give it 3 minutes. Two weak groundouts and a strikeout is my guess.

 

[BigJulius94]

I love Carter

but if I see Carter hit with our season on the line I am going to blow a gasket

 

[Rockheel1650]

Judging by the previous 7 innings, absolutely not

Meant to say when we are down

 

[Heely]

Gonna take an unlikely hero now. Let’s go Heels!

 

[THBTHB]

 

[Calimike25]

Here we go, entire season, right here

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Here we go, entire season, right here

Seen this story before.

 

[THEChapelthrill]

Bosh magic time…. LFG

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I will always love Carolina baseball, always. I will get season tickets again, but today has been a gut punch.

 

[GrahamReese]

How fast does this bottom half of the inning go? I give it 3 minutes. Two weak groundouts and a strikeout is my guess.

Just don’t see it. Hope I am wrong

 

[madisonsdad]

Please let me have something good in life

 

[uncjhodges]

Excellent AB tyler

There is one weak grounder.
