Game 40: Stanford 4/19/26

[Allabouttheu95]

Buddy has the prince fielder swing

 

[ewcanes]

And another error just because.

 

[ewcanes]

West was barely running…

 

[Allabouttheu95]

West was barely running…

it’s what our team does. A select few actually hustle down the line

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Not having Alvarez in the lineup is ******* criminal

 

[ewcanes]

The broadcast not having our ACC record correct is annoying me.

 

[Canesfreak]

Not having Alvarez in the lineup is ******* criminal

This defense is criminal.

 

[TaylorWalls]

Maybe we come back, but you have to mix some sweeps in there occasionally. This is how you make sure you stay in the 2/3 range with no hope of moving up.

 

[scane]

Literally a comedy of errors

 

[ewcanes]

Another error leads to another run.

 

[ewcanes]

Bullpen disease has gotten to Dorn now.

 

[ewcanes]

That should do it, this one’s over.

 

[scane]

We’re definitely going to get to fully stress test the bullpen today after largely being shielded by the starters since Clemson

It’s going very badly

 

[FreddyCane]

Pitching has been good of late but it failed miserably today. Defense has been bad all season so I expect the circus in the field. Hitting hasn’t been terrible but considering the Stanford team era it’s been disappointing.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

This is revisionist history but I hated the decision to pull Ciscar

Another JD management blunder. The guy makes up to 5 management mistakes a game. It’s simply not a winning formula with how bad we are on the bases and especially defensively

 

[Cane30]

I will be shocked if we win this. I am going to have to read about it if we do. I am done with this one.
This team has been poorly coached for the 2nd straight season by JD. I wonder how his job performance evals go?

 

[BP Joe]

This team is what you see at this point. Decent SP, a still crappy bullpen and an inconsistent offense.

And last, but not least, a defense so bad that the lousy bullpen gets taxed even further. Keep winning ACC series, get a favorable Regional draw, then somehow play 3 - 4 clean games in a row to advance.

 

[scane]

No Robert this weekend (this would have been an ideal spot). Someone mentioned to me last weekend that he was being a little more cautious with his return, but I didn’t really pursue it.
