has to stop swing for the fence.
Terrible calls behind the plate that were absolutely inexcusable. It certainly didn't cost us the game, but you can't have that. On the other hand, that was absolutely awful performance by the Heels. You can't that either. Better come ready to play baseball tomorrow.
I know Forbes likes French in right for his defense but that can be a late game, with the lead, move. He is struggling mightily at the plate. I wouldn’t mind seeing Gavin drop down either. Maybe hull in the 2 hole. I know Forbes won’t like 3 lefties in a row. However…we are 24-5 and this is one game.
Even besides his voice, I just don’t think his commentary is very good (that might be subjective)
We count on walks so much in this offense. The power, speed and low overall batting average scares me post season.
Take away Le Moyne series our average is not very good!
I say it again this team simply can't hit left handed pitchers. UVA shut us down Fri and Sat with lefty's . LVille shut us out with a lefty with an era over what 5 at the time? And we were a dropped third strike from losing a series to them at home. BC had 3 very good left handed pitchers and at this point just don't get swept. Lynch is now 0 and 3 in ACC games at home let that sink in.
Your last line is what I’ve been worried about for most of the year honestly. Figured Lynch would be better than last year, but so far that hasn’t been the case. Our pitching is still very good but it’s not elite like I expected. And that’s with a huge surprise in Glauber. It definitely should be good enough to hold BC to less than 6 runs at home. I think our offense is honestly where most expected after last year. It was going to be a struggle trying to replace so much. And with Gavin MIA, we just will be in dogfights against good pitching. And the lefty thing isn’t just this team. It’s been a UNC thing for a loooong time now.
Lynch had not been awful but he has lost all 3 games to lefty's and we have given him like 3 runs of support in 3 games. Also as far as the lineup goes we will be replacing it all again next year. The portal should fill holes not be the entire lineup which leads to another question? What had happened to position player development and recruiting?
