Eh. I think 110 is fine. Other teams don't have a problem with their guys going that long. Send him out there and maybe have a quick inning and get through the 7th with the game still a swing away. Maybe a batter too long at most for me, once you go out there, pull him. But it's clear we need the starters to go deep. Yesterday and today, both guys really only had a couple of bad pitches, and guys who haven't done anything all of a sudden are Mark McGuire. That's been the difference to me, not leaving guys in too long.

JT needs to let the rest of the team know what he's seeing, cause he's seeing that dude well.

Of course three guys who have done nothing all year are winning this series for Clemson

Feel like that should say a lot more about our team than it does Clemson

Why?

I'm just not one of those people who says of course such and such had the game of their life against State or of course BC plays their best game of the year against State, or whatever. We routinely think that other teams or players have breakouts against us...I disagree, I just think it's easier for that to happen because we're not that good.

Thata way Murr! Let's go!

I agree. We haven't really played bad. They've had dudes step up that haven't done anything before this weekend. It happens. I would guess most wouldn't say that we are better than UNC, but we swept them.

Wow! Helluva play by Butler!

Only have 2 vet arms in the bullpen and everyone else is FR

Hopefully we get at least 1 with a W today

They need to move the field mics. This is just obnoxious

Not to mention, you can barely here Ciencin

We're not doing ourselves any favors, but we can't catch a break.

State has gotten nothing out of the DH spot this year. We should move Tresh to DH every once in a while to give him some rest, and try one of the backup catchers in the field. Maybe it gets Tresh going a little bit and see if Carnazzo can build off the experience.

Big time 2 out RBI hit by Torres. Back in this

Torres finally starting to heat up

This game will be won or lost depending on which Evan Justice shows up

Welp. There goes the bad replay call against us. We were due one of those

Clearly safe, but we've gotten the benefit of replay several times so I'm not surprised it went against us. Bad luck for the ball to bounce straight to the first baseman anyway.

Avent is going to get a third chance at handling the bullpen timing here to start the 7th. Let's see if he's learned anything

So if we go to the pen and lose, will that still be his fault, or no?

Nope. But if you do something twice in a row and it beats you both times, do you try a third time?

I think that each situation is unique and I trust the staff to know their personnel well enough to know whether or not to send the starter back out there.

Terrible call on both the initial call and the replay. Umpire was mad because he thought Torres showed him up by calling safe. An umpire can never let personal feelings get in the way. Pitiful.

I don't care who does it, please get 9 more outs and salvage this series

Yeah, when the ump gets all TV Teddy with the call,I know he's not going to overturn it.

Whether this works or not, bringing in the lefty is the right decision here.

Except you are bringing in a lefty that has a tendency to be wild with the tying run on 3rd

Wasn't pretty, but he got out of it

And Justice gets an out on a 3-2 pitch after walking the first 2 batters he faced

IMO the thing the makes Justice at times unhittable also makes him inconsistent, which is his mechanics. He's all over the place with his plant foot.

Who all is injured in the bullpen? Nelson, Bender, Cotter, Silver.....

Are they all beating each other's asses after practice everyday?

Clutch hit from Tatum. Just get the bat on the ball, good things happen.
