    Hitting

    Not in this case. In both 2024 and 2025, posters were complaining well before this point in the season about lack of hitting with RISP. And in both years, it changed for the better down the stretch. To use last year as an example, IMO, three things changed: (1) Those who were, stopped...

    WATCH Postgame UNC 8 BC 7 Forbes, Winslow, McDuffie

    What remarkably candid conversations with the players. Coach is a known (and positive) quantity, but having Macon and Walker speak that cogently about the details of "guarded subjects" is not only atypical but refreshing.

    Grace: Caden Glauber Dominates, UNC Forces Rubber Match (+)

    I enjoyed the finding of poetry in this year's "Freshman Phenom" switching roles with 2024's Freshman Phenom. who made his first start while still 17 years old. I also agree with your observation that this pitching staff, if everyone hit full stride at the same time, would be well-nigh...

    Game 30 - Campbell at North Carolina

    Optimism. And one run. I'm all for it.

    Nugent's Nuggets: UNC Completes the Sweep of ND

    ND's "Eck" is a difficult place to play until late April, unless you are accustomed to it. Carolina's having that much offense, in the cold, surprised me, and the sweep is a major accomplishment.

    Timely. You're right on top of things.

    Grace: Balanced Tar Heels Earn Series Win over Notre Dame (+)

    Grace said he had gotten the Golden Sombrero, and he had not. That ended your need to react or explain. But thank you. ETA: And I have never heard the term "Platinum Sombrero," but, then again, I never played in your league.

    Grace: Balanced Tar Heels Earn Series Win over Notre Dame (+)

    Forgive me, Grace. In your post about Game 1, in the "Nuggets" addition to that thread, you said that Matty won, and I doubted you. The box score, however, proves that he did. Nevertheless, Erik Paulsen did not, in fact, wear the Golden Sombrero, and the same box score confirms that fact. As...

    Game 27 - Carolina 6 Notre Dame 5 - Nuggets Added

    Matty "grabbed the win"? If so (and I am doubtful), he surely did not pitch well in the 7th.

    Nugent's Nuggets: Balanced Offense Dominates in CLT

    UofSC fans are passionate about baseball, and especially the rivalry with us. They must have been shocked by what happened last weekend, as was I.

    A Sweep of Louisville…

    While I can identify with your post, it is often wiser to keep such thoughts to yourself. It is far better--for all of us--to "Walk softly and carry a big stick."

    Nugent's Nuggets: Compete Factor Lacking Once Again in Saturday G1

    Grace, your article is accurate: Everyone is just floored by what happened and not sure how to reply.

    Grace: Sluggish Outing Produces UNC’s First Loss

    An article about a loss is not easy to write, especially the first one. However, the mention of Dylan Thomas was notable. Fortunately, his idea of the "good night" is somewhat more permanent than the fate suffered by the Heels in Durham on Saturday. One note of concern, though, might be...

    Nugent's Nuggets: Down to the Wire

    What an exciting mid-week game. Fortunately, we had Grace there to do it justice. I hope that someone has video of Howe's 9-5 peg because I would love to see it. Thank you, Grace.
