Canes bs Pitt - Game 3 - 1pm, ACCNX

[Number1CanesFan]

Here's my take on Rosario. He has great velocity. He has a really good curveball. He has a really good slider.

He doesn't have command of any of those pitches, so he's always pitching in hitters counts.

When he is ahead in the count, his waste pitches are way off the plate making it a stress free take for the hitter OR they're poorly located and catch the middle of the plate where he gets hit hard.

If Rosario is going to be a Sunday starter or even the midweek starter, he has to pitch with consistency and command his pitches or he's has to be reduced to a situational pitcher from the bullpen.

Rosario needs a 4 seam FB and needs to pitch at a faster pace.

He is in his head big time, going so slow makes it worse. Also, needs a 4 seam Fb. His 2 seamer has too much movement to control for easy strikes

 

[Pitcher in the Rye]

No way Rosario starts again this season unless it’s mid week

Dimare is in love with his velo. He overlooks the fact that he sucks.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Absolutely. I just worry that even 4-seeds have aces.

It would take a pair to roll Gerland out there game 1 after that Gainesville Regional debacle. But at least it’s an option. Rosario isn’t a real option anymore.

the kid is a jose prado clone.

just doesn't have it mentally, despite the great arm talent.

i'll be surprised if he's on the roster next season. if you let a guy like victor mederos move on, you probably don't keep rosario

 

[RedSquare]

let's face it. we're a two starter pitching staff. those teams don't get to Omaha, much less win championships

 

[Pitcher in the Rye]

Finally pulled after 59 pitches in 2 innings

 

[NC_Canes_11]

I can’t believe they sent him back out there

 

[Number1CanesFan]

I hope Rosario figures it out in Summer ball. Just can't afford to keep sending him out there and falling behind in the score early in games.

It would have been sensible to pull him before the second homer to Evans, but thats just not how baseball works i guess. Never understood it.
(when a starter is clearly not gonna have a good day... yank the sucker)

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Gino should just pitch by committee on Sundays until someone shows they've earned the job.

Finally pulled after 59 pitches in 2 innings

I’m surprised he came out for the third . But then he walks the 1st batter

 

[Allabouttheu95]

If we get Another ligon in this class Rosario is gone imo

 

[AmeriCane26]

I still have faith we can win this game, this team has no quit in them unlike years past. Let’s Go Canes!!!

This is where I’m at. Leave Garland as is

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Ok. Need to get some runs and start chipping away at this lead.

 

[AmeriCane26]

Spark we needed there with Kayfus!!! Do, he is so much better than toeral!!

They should have let him pitch a CG. He was on pace for only 270 pitches.

 

[AmeriCane26]

This is where we will start to hit, we’ve seen his pitches, chip away Canes , chip away

Leave Garland midweek, but pitch the bullpen guys by committee on Sunday.

McFarlane could be the Sunday starter, but he had consistency issues earlier in the season.

He has pitched well out of the bullpen.
