    *Watch/Read/Listen This Week in UNC Baseball w Scott Forbes: Focus and Improvement Ahead of ACC Play*

    The connection you have with Coach is exceptional and it really doesn’t feel like “work” for either one of you during these interviews. It seems each week, layers upon layers are peeled back and we gain more insight into the program. It sometimes feels like we even have a seat at the coaches...

    Game 11 - UNC 16 Le Moyne 3

    Looking at Le Moyne’s record and opponents…seems we won’t get much competition. Maybe we had another mid major or semi quality team lined up and it fell through late leaving us scrambling to fill the schedule? Thinking anyone on the roster (that is available and healthy) will see some action...

    This Week in UNC Baseball w Scott Forbes: The Drive To Improve

    Interesting comment that he doesn’t expect any of the 3 current weekend starters to be here next year. It will be important to get the young arms as much experience and innings as possible this year.

    Greatest College Baseball Teams of All Time

    2019 Vandy 2023 LSU 1985 Miss St and 2006 Heels for teams that never won it. The 2006 year still feels like a punch in the gut even to this day.

    Takeaways - ECU split

    So far the pitching (overall) has been good. Not great except for DeCaro, but the other guys have done a ton of good things and are really close. Just need some more innings under their belt and hopefully gain some consistency. Really liked today how Lynch was able to run his 2 seam inside for...

    Game 8 - Game Called - UNC 3 ECU 3 FINAL

    Guessing the only reason we didn’t go with a double header yesterday was due to not wanting to miss the revenue and gate $ for a well attended home game. Weather was great yesterday.

    *Watch: This Week in UNC Baseball w Coach Forbes: The Grind Begins, ECU Looms

    Have heard before that Forbes grew up a State fan. Not sure if that’s accurate. Maybe a good question to ask at some point on the weekly show…

    My Takeaways - Opening Weekend

    Just listened to today’s podcast. Walker apparently missed some preseason work due to a blender incident and his thumb. Sounds like all is good, but he’s slightly behind. Lots of things like this affect the decisions that we don’t know about until after the fact.

    My Takeaways - Opening Weekend

    Correct. G1 of Saturdays DH. May have jumped the gun claiming “big”…but it was a comfortable lead after the HR and we clearly had the momentum plus that essentially ran their pitcher. We got into their pen and ran away with it. Bottom line is (at that point in the game/series) I would have...

    My Takeaways - Opening Weekend

    Good write up and like the deep dive into different aspects of the weekend. One thing I think got overlooked and maybe lost in the thrill of the walk off was the bull pen decision on Saturday. We used our best arm (McDuffie) G1 when we were up big and didn’t really need him. Seemed a better time...

    LHP

    That was an anomaly. We were definitely world beaters that day. I guess we hit elite LHP, but struggle against the rest of it.

    Recruiting to Carolina - Scott Jackson's IC Interview

    Great interview. Lots of good info shared. Would assume inefficiencies such as traveling far just to watch one indoor BP and field grounders…then having to make a quick recruiting decision are in the past. But how are they vetting the transfer portal recruits when the clock is ticking even...

    Non UNC game thread

    Looking at Wake’s box score and Andrew (not older brother Luke) Costello got the start today. He enrolled a year early and should have been a senior in high school THIS season. He had 1 of their 2 RBIs. Serrano (INF) at State as well as Rich (RHP) for us also bypassed their last prep season...

    A Rod

    Arod only cares about Arod. He’s not giving UNC Baseball anything. Whatever he gave to Miami was for a tax write off and part of his rehabilitation campaign to soften his image. It wasn’t done out of benevolence or the kindness of his heart.

    Inside the Lines - Strong Arms, New Faces Highlight UNC in 2026

    Agree. I try to give the benefit of the doubt to any staff, but too many times seeing bush league antics is more than a coincidence…it’s a pattern. And it sure seems to be encouraged there vs just letting stuff slide too. Beat my chest, look at me culture. They have talent and continue...
