Major shout out to Coach Forbes for the teams he has put on the field the past 3 seasons. Especially with basically a brand new lineup this year. Replacing studs like Honeycutt, Stevenson, Kepley, etc…year after year and still producing top ten teams is special. Scott Forbes is going to break through one of these years. I am confident in that.

Only got to start watching today in the 7th… Tommy alluded to something as well just a few posts back. What did BC do? During their big inning?
Some walks led to more runs than they should’ve got there. Baseball really reveals the…let’s say…fickle nature of message board posters lol. Puts the basketball melodrama into perspective.

This series felt like Super Regional-level to me. Huge series win against a really good team.
Felt like that… but a huge part was our self inflicted wounds.

Think grace posted the stats. We gave up 25 free bases (20 walks and 5 HBP) and had 3 wild pitches. They only had 20 hits. Not sure that will ever be replicated in a 3 game series.

Big gutsy win today for sure. Especially after getting down in the series 0-1 and needing this one to win the series.

Very few gimmies anymore in college baseball. Just look closely at the D1 scoreboard daily and educate yourself on how reality is.
I was being overreactive in the moment but the Notre Dame, Cal, ECU and Louisville series aren’t shaking out to be all that impressive. We couldn’t have afforded to lose this series this weekend with what lies ahead on the schedule.

Globe and Duff are our best pitchers IMO. Their stuff is different from our other guys and they have the it factor. Love our other guys too, but I can’t get enough of watching those two deal.

This is encouraging to me. If we can win like this against a good team, that’s a positive sign.

Great recovery on the bobble by Cooper, I don't think the media/those not affiliated with the team gives him enough credit for the amount of work that went into learning third. Schaffner and Forbes talked about it yesterday that they have loved to see his development
He's been playing a fantastic 3B. He brings MIF range to the corner so he gets to balls that many 3B's don't reach. He has the quick release of a shortstop and he's willing to stand in and take the ball in the chest to knock it down, not panic, then has the hose to still get the runner.

Walker fired up after that interesting little move right there, a 4-1 put out, to end the 8th for BC
To call that play simply a 4-1 put out understates it's significance. That play was the defensive play of the game. Paulsen ranged far to his right and the ball still hopped over his head. It looked like it was headed to right field but Gavin never stopped. Backing up Paulsen, he fielded it and threw the ball on the run to McDuffie--he didn't quit on covering 1B-- who caught the ball on the run just in time to reach 1B a step ahead of the runner. If he's safe, BC has runners at the corners and is still alive. Textbook PFP.

It all comes down to never posting anything that you might have to apologize for later.

Pointing out a mistake or a tough outing for a player comes with the territory. Just refrain from personal insults towards the kids.

And perhaps most importantly N-E-V-E-R say the game’s is over before it’s actually over. How many Tar Heel teams have taught us in the past that with the right attitude there is a chance!

And please don’t think I’m preaching to anyone about being a fan. I’m just offering advice from experience. Henry Ford said it best: If you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right!

Do we have any more ACC bottom feeders to sweep and boost our paper tiger record?
