Belltower?

I'm hoping we are a bit more aggressive in what arms we through against ECU. With a weekend series against Ball State coming up it would be nice to see a combo of Van Dam (if he's rested enough from last Thursday), Dudan, and Smith to go along with Marohn.

Past history would say you aren't likely to see any extended action from VD, Dudan, or Smith on a Tuesday game. A win over a projected regional host would be good at this point, but Ball State doesn't seem like a cupcake looking at their record, and weekend series are the standard you're judged by. If Whitt still isn't available this weekend, we're still short staffed, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the normal mid week arms. But EA doesn't like losing to ECU either, so who knows.

Thanks for that. A series we should win, but not a walk through weekend.

Right. Not Towson, but you have to play well. Can still be a little bit of a "get right" weekend to clean some stuff up. I'm just hopeful some of these 100+ exit velos we've put into gaps won't get run down anymore lol

If they've got guys that can do that like UNCs guys, we need to hit them up in the portal. Brutal.

Oh good, Budrovich.

Looks like only on ESPN+. Anyone have the score? 0-0 bottom on 1st?

Why is every camera angle so awful in this park?

Am I tripping or did someone throw a beer at Hogue while he was tracking that ball?

---

I didn't see it, but would not be surprised by it.

Just forfeit the midweek games and do intrasquad scrimmage in Raleigh if we are gonna make these pitching decisions.

Sigh. Incredible how poorly we pitch in every single midweek

Pack 0- ECU 2 after one.

Guys our staff is absolutely wrecked. Even if we had options we sure as hell wouldn't use them in a midweek.

Something definitely got thrown on the field in right field on that play. This crowd is way too rowdy way too early. This has the potential for ugliness.

"Butterworth smokes one to the gap"

On a pop-up off the end of the bat to left center.

Sigh.

Getting ahead in the count and just serving pop ups to the outfield. Smh.

Gotta be a little more patient at the plate. This guy wants to walk us

ECU using their premier arms haha.

We pitched really well 2 weeks ago and better than good

enough to win last week. Have to hit in these things

---

Truthfully can't remember who we played 2 weeks ago. The Campbell game was an adventure pitching wise

I mean not really. 7 given up in the 9 innings should win you the game. We just happened to leave 19 on.

UNCW 2 weeks ago

I guess that's true. I was there for the entire 5 hours lol. Entertaining yet brutal game
