Apr 18 vs Clemson noon ACCN

Pitelli keeps playing like this series thats our leadoff batter. He was effective all weekend.

Any thought to giving Lala the day of Wednesday and starting Jenkins to see if that’s the spark he needed (or really both of them)?

How about the freshman coming up with some big hits there in the 9th. Pitelli has really turned the corner lately at the plate

I would be good with that. He may have earned a start after two good plate appearances...and you know he can play defense

Get them both in the lineup and see what happens. Bring in Rivera for a pinch hit/sub. However, Rivera has hit well enough to stay in the lineup, but I'd like to get our speedsters going if possible. I think were a better team with Jenkins and Lala in the outfield when they're hitting.

Sorry didn’t realize you guys were talking about Jenkins and not Pitelli

 

[txcanes]

I’m not arguing that he should be the lead off hitter..: I’m saying he came through 2 days in a row and the board has written off 2/3 of the lineup by being up in their feels during games

Well said, the during game bashing is pitiful.

 

[txcanes]

Pitelli with the hit. A long fly wins it.

Great call!!

 

[Angry Ibis]

He has failed far more than he has came through, not real sure what you are trying to prove here. He has obviously had a bad season, writing him off is not a wrong take.

he’s batting .294 in a week we are 4-0 and y’all are still ****ting on him...

 

[Gooner#44]

I'm down for this:
Pitelli
Vilar
ADC
Morales
CDC
Toral
Gil
Rivera
Lala

Would love to see that lineup, alot of power

 

[Angry Ibis]

Big day for Jenkins. Basically had two things to do and got them both done.

Great idea. He wants it!!

If the season was a week Pitelli would be an All American this week. Season stats Ace. Check them out. He is not a leadoff for a Top 25 team, its obvious to everyone but you. If he bats 9th and hits. 220 I can live with that. That's called reality, not ****tting on him

I would like to see Gino take the pressure off Lala by moving him down in the order. Let CDC lead off or just move everyone up in the order so your best bats, yoyo and ADC, get more plate appearances.

Does this get us in hosting contention again? Or too little too late?

Our RPI is still fine at 18th as I type but we’d have to go something like 9-1 between now and the cutoff to have any chance. Losses against BC or App St would be RPI poison. That’s asking a lot of consistency that we just haven’t seen.

I don't think so, Clemson is not a good team. Always love a sweep but the FSU/Pitt weekends will haunt us.

i think they could still host. RPI also in the top 20...8 extremely winnable games and then 9 other games that I think will be battles with UNC GT and Lville. Depending on how they fare I think hosting is still possible

When is the cutoff? Before the app st series?
