3/17/24 Game 20: UNC 1pm ACCNX

[Rellyrell]

We got destroyed but it could be worse. Virginia has given up 68 runs in their first 6 ACC games. And that game is not technically over yet

Told ya’ll UVA is overrated & that pitching is deplorable. They have a hot O, & a terrible Pitching Staff this season.

Regardless, great gutsy victory yesterday to seal the series against another Top 25 opponent. Would like to be better than 2-2 for the weeks, but it’s better than 1-3 or 0-4.

Mark Light has been kind to us in late innings this season. As I’ve said all along, can’t keep playing w/ fire b/c it’s not good for the long run. Really liked how we approached the game Friday; just wish that was the norm.

They should not have been ranked with that god awful pitching staff

Agreed; speaking of rankings, beating two top 25 opponents I think should land us in the top 25 ourselves.

I would agree with you if we hadn't lost today and hadn't lost the midweek game.

FAU is a quality team, and going 4-2 against Top 25 gotta mean something, u would think. But, u’re right, the loss to FAU most likely keeps us out.

I wish; all that was green was the vomit coming up after the enactment of the mercy rule like some lil leaguers. Lol

Herick would solve our midweek problem imo.

He's overmatched on Sundays but could give us 6 IP against inferior lineups.

May be something to look at when Dwyer and/or Vargas is back, but we’ve just got to Rosario the situation for now

Our opponents were helpful today and boosted our RPI to 84th

Amazing we’re 4-2 when the ACC pitching and fielding stats are absolutely horrifying. Only Ziehl and Robert with an ERA below 6.5, 2.19 team WHIP, and a less than 2:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

It is, and yet we are 11-8 after a month long home stand. We have hit 42 homeruns in 19 games, also amazing. Much rougher waters ahead.

And either ACC teams are very over-rated, or there's a lot of parity and big question marks surrounding a lot of the teams that were supposed to be good.

The second option probably hits the nail on the head, but you also know I think UNC is perennially overrated

Your stats are not even close to accurate

Earl Weaver ball. Play for the 3 run HR.

Math error on the WHIP. It’s a still quite high, but not as bad, 1.98 in conference play.

I’m getting a 1.84 K/BB ratio (48K/ 26BB) in ACC play. The ERAs the school provided for ACC games speak for themselves.

Honestly, if Sunday is going to be a bloodbath either way, go for the midweek win. I think it was Duke one year would tank the Friday night game because they didn't have a true #1. But they went hard after games 2 and 3 with their two best starters.
