UCLA has started a RHP the first 2 weekends on Sunday that hasnt made it out of the 4th inning yet. Our line-up vs RHP's is ridiculous. Wondering if they go with the same guy 3 weeks in a row
Curious about that too. Guess we'll find out.Quote:

I’ve just got a gut feeling that the team that scores 6 or 7 runs will lose.
Is there any way to watch this without flocollege? I watched the AZ St one youtube, but I couldn't find the VT one yesterday.
Duke has earned the right to start on Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised if we play well today..
I think we play lights out and win today. UCLA will be playing their stiffest competition that has depth in the batting order and the bullpen. Should be a fun one to watch!
It appears they will start Stump. He is a righthander with tons of experience and a lot of innings in his career. But he has control issues and his ERA has always been high.
Gotta be patient and lay off of spin.Quote:

2026 he has made 2 starts and is 0-0 with a 6.35 ERA.
So he's a veteran. But he hasn't been highly successful. We hit righthanders well.
lineup is up. Big guns up.
Jacob Parker in rightfield. Nunnalee on the bench.Quote:

I would move ace to 3rd or 5th. Need someone who can advance the runner even if you have to bunt. Need Ace to bat with men in scoring. Dam don't run him again.Quote:

No, we want him getting max ABs and you should never be bunting in the first.Quote:

Last year we did get people out and managed to turn 27 double plays. Last year we made a Regional Final. Damn some of you act like we went 15-40 last year. And one of the reasons we are as good as we are this year is because of the experience these guys got last yearQuote:

We need to be into their bullpen before the end of the 4th. This guy is definitely a guy this order needs to be able to chase early from the game.
Edit: we're extending him by just giving him outs.
Stop ****ing trying to steal on this catcher!!!
Catcher has a cannon.
Guess we going to keep running into outs
Apparently we had no scouting report on their catcher??
At this pace- we are losing more runners on the bases than last year
Dang Woodson. Let the best pitch go for strike 3
Should have reviewed
Stuck his elbow out there
Dumb if so on ball 4Quote:

Belt high Duke. Not ideal to this guy. Duke seems a little erratic. Throws a good pitch, then misses.
That landed somewhere in Oklahoma.
