Canes bs Puke - Game 3 - Nooner, ACCNX

[BP Joe]

Based on what these announcers were saying, the staff gets a lot of credit for making adjustments w Pitelli, I suspect JD spends a lot of time getting in Rosario's head and working on his offs-speed, etc.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Umpire didn't give that insight corner to Rosario whose was a better pitch

 

[scane]

Duke push one across on a fielders choice. 7-1

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Limit this to one. Can’t let this snowball

Pitelli Slam: The Sequel! 4-0

Lock for ACC Player of the Week. Will get national attention, too.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Still like what I’m seeing from Rosario. Been a couple of hard hit balls, but soft contact for the most part.

 

[scane]

Rosario gets out of the third with only minor damage

Agree - this is the best stuff he's had, maybe ever.

Not getting shelled like he did against Towson and Harvard. Responded decently well to not being able to cleanly field the potential DP too.

Second trip to the bullpen for Duke Top 4

 

[NC_Canes_11]

It’s every game with the baserunning. No matter how good or bad it’s going, something stupid happens.

 

[scane]

Sigh

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Enough of the bone head running errors. Just daydreaming of a base hit over at 1st base. Not even stealing.
Time to sit people.

Guy comes in throws 4 straight balls…. And we get picked off… only for him to walk the next guy in 5 pitches mental lapses man

Villegas is having a very forgettable weekend

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Just a thought giving away an out. Should be 1st & 2nd with nobody out.

I thought Gino was a base-stealer. I just don't get it - these are mental mistakes that will bite us vs top tier teams down the road.

 

[scane]

Second time this weekend Burke has gotten a hit just by making sure he put the ball in play

 

[TC@ne]

Would’ve added one without the pickoff. Oh well nitpicking at this point

 

[Number1CanesFan]

If they don't move Romero from cleanup, teams will continue to pitch around YoYo to get to Romero.

I know Gino wants to have production at the bottom of the lineup, but you have to start at the top by protecting YoYo and getting production out of your cleanup hitter.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

As much as we're in control of this game, I feel like it's a bit of fools gold. We only have 3 hits surrounded by a bunch of walks. We need to hit better.

I'm not concerned about losing this game because we're getting really good pitching and great defense. I'm just looking forward when we play UVA next week.
