Who else do you give it to?
While I agree, it’s also like…if you have someone on your bench you like better than Kellis in that spot, why not just start that other person? Same pitcher on the mound that started the game for Clemson.

If they liked French or Sawyer Black in that spot better than Kellis, those guys would’ve been in the starting lineup today.
Completely get it, but nothing about Kellis first 2 AB today seemed like he had it. It’s a moot point. Really bad timing on playing Clemson it appears

This is where getting nothing out of Sowers, Black, And Hargett is killing us

The only good thing about this game is that we’ll go into tomorrow with both of our main bullpen arms unused.

Need to keep this game close enough that Clemson uses some of their best to get the last 9 outs.
Have to create pressure on the base paths, had a chance to do it twice.

I’m not giving up, but I do believe in Ryan and Folger. Ryan had an uncharacteristic not great outing last weekend, so hopefully it’s out of his system. I can’t imagine us making the same defensive errors that we have made today again.

Clemson has swung the bat really well, we haven’t. We’ve kicked the ball around on defense, they haven’t.

that’s the story, that’s literally it.
Offense has been a struggle for a few weeks - hits will come, just got to hope we start swinging it best in May and June

Team has been very good this year but if we wanna talk about Omaha then our offense has a ways to go…no power in this lineup since Paulsen started seeing ACC pitchers

Other than Gallaher and Nicholson there isn’t much power in the lineup, for sure.

The idea is we have elite pitching and a lineup that’s good enough. The pitching can you win a lot of games in postseason baseball, but they’ve got to pitch a little better than they have the last few weeks.

You don’t think that Schaff has power? The player who leads the ACC in triples? I would say he has plenty of power.

We all love our boys, so let’s just support them. This isn’t like baseball and football where the best players are getting paid millions. Our boys are playing for their love of our university and the team.
