Getting shut down by this pitching staff is just embarrassing
I would lying if I said that I am not concerned about the prospects of this team's success this year. There is time to turn it around, but the problems didn't start this weekend.

I’m not super concerned yet, because I remember Stanford and Louisville last year, but I don’t feel great. We have got to do better at the plate. There’s no excuse.
We were competitive in those games except maybe one of those games (Sunday against Louisville)….not anywhere close to relatable to this series…

We might go back to back run rules at home….no fight back in this team either which is another concerning trait

Forbes preaches “process”, I get not wanting to get “too high or too low” but it keeps showing up as laying eggs and completely rolling over. Something has to give. There just isn’t any juice anywhere on the roster. Knapp was a dog. Kepley was a dog. Stokely would get fired up. Guys that brought energy. I don’t see those guys so far this season.

The Hoos have taken us to the woodshed so far. I think we’re seeing how good OR how bad we are this year. You CAN’T hit batters with 2 strikes.

You simply have to find a way to compete. You can’t get embarrassed at home in a conference opener and come right back the next day and allow the exact same thing to happen. Not a good baseball team at all right now. Time to turn it around but to get smoked like this out of the gate AT HOME where the Heels have been just about unbeatable is not a good sign.

We are simply a bad baseball team right now. Long season ahead but this is bad . Time to start playing the young kids we recruited out high school.
Really thought baseball would be a bright spot this year. Oh well, we just don't compete. Where's the pride and competitive spirit?

Good to see Gavin barrel one. Like how he ran the bases and got in the dugout. Setting tone that we have work to do, and one bomb is just a start. A lot more baseball to play today

Macon has taken 2 hanging breaking balls only to get out on two balls ways out of the zone. That’s the stuff that bothers me with us at the plate. We have talent, but the approach is awful.

Did the pitcher just spike the ball after catching a little league pop up a game and a 1/2 into a series where we have like 6 hits?

This is embarrassing. These two games have been about as uncompetitve as it as it gets. Disappointing to say the least.

Is it the way we are coached or the way the individual players are approaching it?

We have every trusted BP arm available for game 2, sure hope we actually see them. The offense needs to get going a little in the late innings to gain some sort of confidence.

The third baseman needs to go to the bench. He is totally lost at the plate. Move Gavin back to third and play a freshman at 2nd base . Also give black some run as he has some pop as is young.

That’s a start towards the confidence factor, big swing for Owen on a ton of different levels.
