Given the circumstances, that's in the conversation for one of the best pitching performances in wolfpack history.


Agreed. I got choked up watching him walk off. I am pretty sure I heard his brass balls clanging as he walked off here in Winston Salem!

Sam is awesome. He doesn't get too high and is never too low. Perfect demeanor for a pitcher.

Rocker has probably 1 more inning if it goes smooth. Gotta get to their bullpen by the 7th but also got to keep it within striking distance

Feeney not getting the normal movement in his pitches so far. Someone get him some sunscreen.

Anybody think Highfill owned a first baseman's mitt or is using a teammate's?

I was wondering how many of the guys playing today even bothered bringing gear to Omaha

Was getting ready to say the same thing. He's throwing the heat but no movement at all - just pencil straighten

If he owns one, I doubt he brought it to Omaha. Gotta be a teammate, but it's a different color than the one Murr uses.

That play was because of the earlier play where Sam didn't pick the throw from Vojtek, he was hesitant to throw it to him.

Well the real speedy guy was also running to first. I'd guess that was in his mind.

Why isn't Murr playing 1st to begin with? Only thing that makes sense is if we wanted to possibly pitch Highfill, and therefore not DH him.

If we can get rocker out of the game and still be within a few runs we will have a punchers chance.

Speaking of sunscreen, the guy in the pen warming up is the one they caught lathering himself in it during our night game against them. If he comes in coach should ask the umps to check him.

I would think it's to make sure highfill wouldn't have to make any big throws.

The other thing I didn't think I"d say....the bottom of the lineup would outperform the top (thru 5 1/3 innings)

That's the reason, to have his bat but have available if he needs to throw. That and putting him in a place he doesn't have to run much.

Murr has played OF previously at his JUCO and IIRC, Sam played some first last year.

The regulArs really haven't done jack. Everyone just seems to be trying to make that game changing swing. Just need to string hits together- barrel to ball. Get it in play and make that big pitcher work.

Approaches have been much better with the bottom half of the lineup precisely because they're not try to do too much.

Short. Compact. Keeping their head in. Quick to the ball.

Need more of that!!
