Tough one but State played well which is an improvement from last week. The Brown bunt in the 11th was… not great
it's a sacrifice bunt. He did exactly what he was supposed to do. If you're gonna criticize, the two at bats following the are there for the taking.EthanBarry said:

Yep. I like the bunt there. Then the next two guys come up looking like they want to hit it to Lee Hall. So frustrating.BigLefty24 said:it's a sacrifice bunt. He did exactly what he was supposed to do. If you're gonna criticize, the two at bats following it are there for the taking.EthanBarry said:

I don't want to turn this into a bunting conversation but you lose .2 expected runs going from guy on first, none out to guy on second, one out. Aside from that, you bunted your best hitter to set up Soles, who isn't a starter, and Pilolli, who has struggled. Brown has had countless huge hits for you, why take the bat out if his hands?
well, your post didn't indicate you disliked the decision to bunt. You simply said the bunt was not great, which seemed to indicate you didn't think the execution was good.EthanBarry said:

Once Avent made the decision to bunt with Brown, he should have bunted the next two.EthanBarry said:

bc of wind and cold? Seems like an odd decisionwilmwolf80 said:
Game cancelled
I'm a couple miles from campus and have been outside since about 10 this morning. Yeah it's cold and very windy bit no reason baseball can't be playedGost8 said:
They are playing over in CH
Wake postponed their game today against FSU, but I believe they are playing a double-header tomorrow. So, I do not really understand why State and Notre Dame can't do the same. It was snowing at Wake when they made the decision to postpone their game.wilmwolf80 said:
In the past there has been mention of some sort of rules regarding Sunday game times and the visiting teams travel arrangements. I think that's why there's no double header tomorrow. As to why the game was cancelled today, I saw it said on Twitter that ND didn't want to play, but I'm not sure why that would be.
Starters for this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/7R3lcOkZoG

This team is in trouble. The fundamentals are not there.
Amazing what a couple good at bats can do for an offense, ha.wilmwolf80 said:
