After many conversations I'm settling on thinking Dudan will start Sunday
I like Dudan starting. If he can get you 3-5 innings. Fill in with everyone else.
It makes everything around this make a lot of sense. 40 pitches on Tuesday as his bullpen day. Nance as the setup for Shaffner tonight when Dudan got the ball in an identical spot almost last weekend
In the post game Avent said Dom was the best he's ever seen him. I think he's probably right. Shame he didn't get the win but he had the best command of the off speed pitches tonight I can remember. It's amazing the growth he's had in the off speed stuff. His first 2 years he was a 90% fastball guy. Now he's getting so many more ground balls by keeping his pitches down instead of trying to get everyone with high fastballs and giving up so many fly balls. Spit a few really nice split/changes out there to get some rightys too. That pitch takes him to another level. Now he has multiple out pitches to both sides of the plate.
Great win and comeback. Great to beat unc at their home stadium. Take that to graduation tomorrow. Enjoy the next 48 hours, Pack fans. Avoided the sweep, put ourselves in position to win the series, kept our chances to host alive.

Yea I think Sunday determines if we host. UVA and VT hasn't helped us
Kepley looks like a Roblox character (if you have kids, you know what I'm talking about). He was on base all night. Want to see the Dude start off Sunday with a 3 pitch strikeout and make him look even sillier than he already does. Where is his neck???? The world may never know.
Just got back from holeville great win for the packing lovely night. The double play to end it happened right in front of us.
Made lots of bad plays but guttted it out for the win. When they hit those homers I was ok here we go, but we pulled through.

Hell of a game. Dom was awesome tonight and got left in for 1 too many innings. I understand why but with a day of rest no reason for it. Nance had a (imo) very predictable "off" outing after missing a weekend and being unhittable for 4 appearances. That's sort of baseball…
Great response after they tied it back up. Personal note but glad UNC made a pitching change to start the 8th as if they had stayed with Boaz not sure it would have played out as well. Very biased there with personal connection and glad it worked out for us. He looked as good as I've seen him tonight since surgery last season. They have an absolute ton of good arms but the UNC pitching decisions (going back to last season) continue to leave me a little confused in big games. Almost have too many guys and don't allow anyone to get a rhythm or find enough innings for confidence or roles…
Love what we have left going into Sunday, good start from Andrews and you have 2-4 innings of Dudan. 1 from Schaffner for sure and then Cooper/Kelley/Potts as needed for an inning each if needed. Need to drive in the runs and make it easy!

I still can't figure out the DeCaro thing for UNC. Has been on an absolute heater in conference play yet they toss him out against Campbell on Tuesday for 70 pitches.
Don't necessarily disagree with the thought process here but I'd be absolutely floored if that happened. Don't like it at all personally with how e have played it all year with the number of arms we have left for Sunday. But I'm like Ethan and think we have done a crap job of getting innings for people that maybe have. Higher floor and should have got deeper looks last month. Zero reason to not just roll Andrews out with a super quick hook if needed. Just my two cents
Andrews will start Sunday.

Assuming Shaffner will still be available now. What a play.
30 from Nance. 11 from Shaffner. I don't think you can count out anything for Sunday.
But like I said a minute ago, just gonna sit back and enjoy it lol
Yep. Both should be available to go along with Dudan and Andrews. Sunday sets up well for us.
Just win the game. Whatever it takes.

Figured Boaz was your boy. I thought he was still out this year since he was their Friday guy last year.tau06 said:

Luckily we can always thank Gosnell for a particular game....

Agree. I think Sunday also sets up well for UNC.
I thought last night favored us. With the Dom on the mound and a fully rested pen. Haugh is good don't get me wrong. But I think is their 3rd best starter and his last couple of outings have been not ideal.
I think Sunday is a true 50/50 game.
We get to do it all again tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/kuNNimbedY
