This performance this weekend has been pathetic so far. Flashbacks of the fsu series...gotta somehow find a way to pull this one out

I just can't believe they can't hit this guy. He has nothing special. No velocity. Ok curveball, but nothing special.

Pretty frustrating for me to watch how much better all around Pitt looks than us

Surprised to see Smith back out there at 50+

I wouldn't necessarily say they look better. Pitt is a lot more aggressive in what they do. We look passive.

Finally some strike 3 calls!!!

Gino must have been persuasive

It would be nice if Smith could settle in and be that middle relief foundation we need.

 

[Angry Ibis]

I mean on purpose or not it was a mental lapse and led to him leaving a short start with an 18 ERA and us going to an ready exposed pen, he has to do better

I agree he has to do better but why do we think it was a mental lapse? Pitchers lose the grip or the zone. Kluber only threw 39 strikes in 62 pitches yesterday... not many pitchers more mentally strong than him.

I also agree Mederos has hit a wall. Needs to get over the hump mentally and physically/stuff.

Some of the takes on here are so emotional mid game.

Their at bats are infinitely better than ours. Could be because we are scared to swing the bat but I believe these kids are just better pure hitters than us

We aren’t hosting.

Punch his card!!!! Thanknyou!!!

Can’t say he isn’t close to fully stretched now

 

[scane]

Four strikeout inning and nine total for Smith

You're right. It's basically what I was saying yesterday that Pitt is more aggressive at the plate and we take too many strikes. Therefore, that makes them better at the plate than we are.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

So frustrating. We just don't make good contact against this guy.... . . Until now.

Way to CDC!!!

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Play on!!!! Let's GO!!!!

Odds they come back with interference when even the Pitt announcers say there wasn’t?

Clean slide right into the bag, knee popped up when the spikes hit the bag. No way they can call this interference but with ACC umps who knows.

So predictable. Gino needs to get tossed this time
