Sorry. Forbes stated in his podcast with TA that Glauber was the closer this year
Game 19 - Carolina 8 California 1
- Thread starter TommyAshley
- Start date
UNC plates another insurance run with Paulsen's second hit of the night, big for him
Would love to save Glauber's arm here and go to the pen
I don’t disagree, however, he may be more valuable out of the pen in multiple games. Matty can be the set up man for Glauber
The armchair coaching from these announcers is cracking me up
At 8-1 I'd probably take Glauber out but based on how we managed a lot last year I doubt we will.
I agree and sometimes they don't know who is at the plate or how to pronounce the names of the Tar Heels
three hit day for Owen Hull, the power of a thread people (and baseball ability)
Dont understand why you do not go to pen here.
But as mentioned earlier we did the same thing last year. But luckily if efficient he can pitch Sunday most likely

Globber, Ma-thighs (at least he corrected that one), Boze, and that's all this inning
Once he came in the game, he wasn't likely going to pitch tomorrow anyways, based on how we've treated freshmen arms in the bullpen.
And 35 pitches doesn't burn him for Sunday.

Nice win tonight. Keep it rolling tomorrow.
Ended up working out. He should be good for Sunday, but still would rather go to the pen there for future situations in case he was not that efficient
Great win though

If needed, he’ll be available Sunday. Didn’t really have to tax much either. 3 relatively stress free innings.
Great game by our boys. Let’s do it again tomorrow!!! Excellent job, Diamond Heels!!!
I’m not a big baseball guy, but I feel like whenever I read this thread it’s just people overreacting for 9 innings straight! Maybe just let them boys play and they’ll do their thing like they did later in the game? This isn’t basketball, there’s no clock! Go Heels!
I really don’t like this type of comment. People need to vent their thoughts. This is such a stressful season for us true tar heels. This forum is my truest friend. Sorry to hear you don’t feel the same TarHeelAlum1987
I’m just trying to keep the positivity because I think that’s more beneficial than complaining for half the game than acting like it’s “expected” when they finally do something good. Highs aren’t very high and the lows are very low…I really don’t like this type of comment. People need to vent their thoughts. This is such a stressful season for us true tar heels.

You know, you’re growing on me TarHeelAlum. This is very wise of you. Baseball is a game that’s all about how you take failure. Thank you for teaching me a little more about that tonight. I’ll look out for more of your posts.
Very impressive win in game 1 across country! Good team win and DeCaro was on point
Can't win them all without winning the first one and as Forbes has said many many times on the show with us....you do whatever it takes to get the first one, period.
And as someone already pointed out, Glauber threw 35 pitches....he's good for another go this weekend if needed.
The season is a process....winning each individual game is important, but also, it's not one game, one game, one game...when it comes to lengthening out a pitcher and preparing them for more later.

Great point Tommy. The coaches don’t want Glauber going 15, 15, 15 pitches or something in 3 straight days when in all likelihood he may be our third starter in the postseason. There is value in keeping him relatively lengthened out. Forbes has said explicitly that he views Glauber like he viewed Trent Thornton years ago. Thornton started our second game in Omaha one year after pitching out of the bullpen most of the season.
It’s also not like Glauber is our only guy who can close a game. Walker McDuffie and Matty Matthijs not having to pitch at all in a Friday night win is also valuable. Glauber is doing great but he isn’t so entrenched as our closer that there is some huge gap in my trust in him to close out a game compared to those other two guys.
you have a chance to slam the door in Game one of a road series coming off a frustrating series loss, I think you gotta do it especially when the pitch count is that low. If Glauber is the closer let him close.
