These dudes are truly awful at the plate. Just lost.

We are bad right now

We all probably should have saw this coming after football and MBB. 23-24 was a great year for those 3 and 24-25 disappointing. Bounce back next year across the board

Yikes.

Sosa striking out every other AB is mind blowing.

Look like I picked the wrong week to watch NCSU baseball

Chris hart has been able to find/develop dudes for years. Safe to say he missed/won't be able to make magic out of this lineup this year?

Its similar to basketball, we assume a Keatts team will be above average offensively, but in this new era nothing is for sure. Especially in baseball its going to be a toss up every year.

Seems both portal approaches were not the best

Crazy that we were preseason ranked.

Perfect Game knew. At least I think that's who didn't have us ranked.

Yep. Kudos to them

Tons of holes in his swing haven't been fixed, and he seems less confident

And haven't seen ACC pitching yet.

Serious? That's crazy bad.
Good news is it is very early. These games won't matter if can start winning conf series. But that's hard to see right now

There may be a trend forming here. How is the women's softball team doing?

Standing and watching a meat pitch down the middle of the plate for a SO in the 9th is just inexcusable.

Obviously its going to be a drop off at the C position after what just left but is this all state has behind the plate?

I had been pretty calm about this through the first handful of games but it might be time to press the panic button on this team. Scoring one run on four hits against Richmond is horrible.

Richmond played twice on Sunday and once on Monday, then traveled down here and retired 20 batters in a row. You can't get on base once in 20 at bats against a team playing their fourth game in three days? Seriously?

I still believe in the arms - but at some point not being able to score weighs on your arms too.

3 up 3 down and trot back out there for 7 straight innings is tough.

It's hard to watch. Painful. On the podcast I mentioned revolving door in the lineup to find a spark - but that too is counterintuitive to the thought that these young guys we are forced to count on need at bats to get batter.

There is no trade deadline in baseball where you can get the pieces you are missing. Hard not to wonder if the money to keep arms may have limited our ability to get bats and we just figured Hart is a wizard with hitters and it would all work out.

Hate what may lie ahead when it finally felt like, even though slightly underperforming expectations right now, we finally have the arms to go to war against anyone.

Going to keep pulling for them and hope we get better.

Sosa with a damn near 50% strikeout rate on the year so far.

need to move him down in the line up

We need to get his confidence up as we are not going anywhere without him getting out of this
