Canes bs Duke game 2

[stoopid311]

Duke strands 2. Ligon works out of it again

 

[Allabouttheu95]

I get that getting a vandy transfer is like getting a bama transfer in football but the Romero experiment in the meat of our order has to come to an end. If he has to catch that’s fine but please move him down until he puts it together at the plate

LF gives me pause. Pitelli shouldn't have to run that far to make the catch. That's the LF's ball. He needs to take control and not be a spectator. We've seen that a lot all year.

 

[scane]

I'll get it started but can't do play by play. Pitelli and Gonzalez swapped in the lineup and Garcia w a shot at DH in the 9 hole vs their LH starter. Ligon, as expected, starting for us.

I see Gino remains committed to alternating left and right after the first two

Especially against LH pitching.

Their starter is dealing. We'd better scrape across a couple of runs soon to shake him a little.

Another sleepy start

 

[Number1CanesFan]

This game is looking a lot like yesterday. Little to no offense.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

I have no ideas what the numbers show, but it seems like we really struggle the first time through the order.

 

[scane]

Garcia with the first hit to up his average to .667

 

[Florido]

Garcia with clean hit to left field

 

[Ajcane8]

All it took was the guy with 2 abs all year to prove that their starter with an era over 5 isn’t randy Johnson.

It's obvious Gino sees something we don't. I am as concerned about his defense, especially if he doesn't get a break pretty soon from catching every game.

Nice job working a walk for Kayfus

The big problem with only two healthy catchers is that up you can’t really DH him without risking losing it. Should probably outright sit him for one of this week’s two midweek games though.

Yah, he's a bit slow behind the plate. I think he needs to drop about 25 lbs. He doesn't get his body over on wild pitches.

 

[scane]

Our turn to stand a pair. Did get his pitch count back “on schedule.”

 

[NC_Canes_11]

I hate Villegas in the 2 hole. I’m gonna keep saying it need to be Morales until it happens.

Is Perez still hurt?

looked like viegas slowed down thinking would be a clean out, and got there late when the bobble occurred. with last weeks base running blunder, i got my eye on him now.
