Canes bs Duke game 2

[BP Joe]

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.

Gotta change that vs to bs, quick

Down quickly in order in the first

 

[BP Joe]

Canes go up and down in order in T1. Their starter looks like he'll challenge us w lots of strikes.

Oh, you are there - good. Bring us a better T2 than out first three hitters.

 

[Florido]

Nice catch by Burke of long fly to center

 

[BP Joe]

Burke w a great catch and no regard for his body as he smashes the wall and holds on.

Pitt just gave Louisville their first ACC loss 8-7 although their closer nearly blew a 6 run lead in the 9th.

What a treat to have Walters as our closer. To borrow from SteveO, Pitts closer was "cheeks"!!!

 

[scane]

It may be a negativity bias but I feel like the number of instances where the shift hurts us outweighs those where it helps us.

Ligon escapes a two out mini jam. Nice job by Pitelli on the final out.

 

[BP Joe]

Huge wiggle out of jam in 1st - Ligon was not that sharp that inning.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Excellent play by Pitelli. Saved a run with the play up the middle for the 3rd out.

Having said that about him the last two weeks, I’m just going to trust him until proven otherwise at this point.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Our guys take way too many strike 3's looking. They are being too fine at the plate.

 

[scane]

Down quickly in order again

Ya, he seems to settle in the longer he goes.

I understand you have to protect with 2 strikes, but if the umpire is gonna call a strike on a ball over the chalk in the left handed box, you really can’t do anything but tip your cap.

 

[scane]

Back into trouble. Duke has 1st and 2nd, one out.

 

[stoopid311]

Perfect location on that breaking ball to get the K for out number 2

 

[scane]

Pair of Ks for Ligon in the second. Duke has now stranded four.
