McDuffie's retired all six batters he's faced today after last night's rusty outing
WD40 cleared the rust!

I can't recall ever seeing 4 DPs in the first 2 innings of a game. Something else you rarely see is a team turning 2 after the ball is bobbled, but that's what happened on our 2nd DP.

Lynch wasn't exactly sharp, and was fortunate to get the DPs in the first 2 innings. He didn't have his usual swing and miss stuff, and the low strikeout total (3) shows that. Only 1 of those 3 Ks was swinging. However, good pitchers manage to win, even if they aren't throwing their best.

Took care of business vs a bad ACC team. No need to make Pitt out to be anything other than that the way many did with Clemson. The ACC is full of a lot of bad teams.

Clemson is in fact a pretty good team. They are a borderline regional team by RPI. Winning a series against them on the road is a quality weekend.

I have no problem with such posts
But it is why these guys are in the development league (NCAA )-not MLB

We're so spoiled to how good our pitchers are that it seems like something is way off when they give up a hit or walk, and get into a jam. But then they get a strike out or a soft grounder into a DP. Even their B-game is still really good and it's why Forbes has so much confidence in this staff.

A sweep tomorrow is a need instead of a want IMO. We can’t afford to lose games to teams at the bottom of the conference.
Need folder to give us a solid 5 innings tomorrow and the offense back him up.

Surprising outing got him imo. This was earlier season lynch imo. The last few outings it’s seemed like his velo was up and his movement was great. Lots more swing and misses and K’s. Today seemed like a regression again. Saying that with the understanding hat lunch’s b game is still like most’s a game.

Something else you rarely see happened yesterday. A team played the infield in with the score 11-2, obviously because they were trying to cut off the game-ending run.

Bad defines the job your namesake did as the UNC coach. At 44 and 35 in the RPI, only someone with an agenda would refer to Pitt and Clemson as bad teams.
