Canes bs Duke game 1 6pm

[scane]

It just seems like a stubbornness at this point w him in the 4 hole. How can you have a guy who hits low .200's and strikes out every third time up as your clean-up hitter?

I suspect the answer is a lefty between the two right handed hitters, but it’s not a great reason.

Are we trying to bring him back for the 7th?

 

[scane]

Still nothing

If so, really lazy for not using probabilities vs some historical formula.

Gino loves his matchups

Apparently, yet he bats clean-up vs LH's as well.

If he’s set on it, I’d rather see:
Villegas L
Burke R
Kayfus L
Yoyo R
Dorian L

We’ve been saying this for a few weeks now and nothing has changed. He had a big hit last week but the kid, more times than not, is a black hole in our 4 hole.

Needs to change

12 Ks for Palm after six innings

 

[BP Joe]

If he’s set on it, I’d rather see:
Villegas L
Burke R
Kayfus L
Yoyo R
Dorian L

Or simply drop him to sixth and quit worrying about L, R.

 

[scane]

This feels like a classic bunt spot

Preferable.

 

[scane]

Duke heads to the pen with Pitelli on second and one out for Kayfus

Good call and good execution.

 

[scane]

Sigh

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Lol

 

[Ajcane8]

Wow.

 

[BP Joe]

The base-running rears its ugly head again. You've got your best hitter at the plate - what the ****?!!

 

[jmandel9]

There is no way Gino called for a steal there? Right?

 

[Ajcane8]

Now we just need the dropped pop fly in rf and we’ll hit the strand bases loaded-out on the base path-e9 Gino trifecta.
