Game 47: 5/3/25 NC State

[Reyrey]

How do you get picked off twice

 

[miamimarine]

Mind boggling how bad that was.

Semper Canes!!!

 

[MiamiVice7]

Sheesh, getting picked off at first right there is nuts.

 

[F-MarioCristobal]

Good balk move. Usually get away with it once but he got away with it twice.

No need to complain up 8-1 but in a closer game I’d hope the ump calls it. It’s deliberate too because his other (fully legal) move was clearly different

 

[CTCanes]

Ciscar just gets everyone to hit the ball on the ground.

 

[scane]

I’m not the biggest fan of playing matchup games, but platooning Dorian and Smith in the cleanup spot may be the best way to protect Cuvet without moving him around right now.

 

[Sebastian Font]

Love Ciscar, but this is the type of game where you need to get other arms besides the typical bunch some looks. If we're gonna do anything in the postseason we need more arms to rely on

 

[CandideCane]

@sms4, this is the type of game that I was talking about where we need to get those arms who haven't pitched much some innings

So who you thinking of?

Any of the lefties in the pen tbh, I can't remember the last time Evans or Fernandez got looks. Also a guy like Cleveland would be nice to get going too considering he had the stuff to be our opening closer

I agree with sending him back out in this sense: he’s seemed to start to tire around 70 pitches, and JD has had a relatively quick hook, so an 8-1 lead is great opportunity to build up his pitch count.

Edit: His day ends as I hit send.

 

[Sebastian Font]

Ciscar walks off to a standing O, Fernandez in the game now. Top 7, 1 out

 

[scane]

Now that he’s done, I’m ready to fire my hot take: Ciscar has been our best starter since he entered the rotation.

Griffin (Karl) Hungus is pretty good too, but you make a fair point.

Love the kid's body language - he exudes alpha male without the ****iness.

 

[CTCanes]

Love how Hugus is always first out of the dugout. Leader.

 

[scane]

I’d assume Hugus is still the consensus, unless my take is considerably colder than I think

 

[Sebastian Font]

I’ve got NC State fans next to me in the press box freaking out about the standings here. If any of yall get the chance you should search up their message boards. Out of the corner of my eye those guys are in disbelief

Definitely doesn’t look like a Frosh starting Saturdays. Tonight you could argue was our biggest game in a minute as well. Agree with scane and will add that his 91 with wiggle > 93 “straight” imo.

 

[CBurrr93]

Our lefty on left at bats are brutal

I agree with everything you said minus the 93 straight part, Hugus' 93 plays like 98 with his rpm's which is why scouts are all over him. So when he has the revs on it hes elite, when he doesnt it looks like yesterday where he got hit around
