Oh,I think they understand. They just can't execute it

The 1st inning told me everything I needed to know when Forbes walked the lead-off man, then got behind every hitter he faced. No surprise when the walk becomes the first run, and a wild pitch is responsible for the 2nd run. Only thing missing was the HBP.

Hott looking at one right down the middle.

They're swinging like they could use a Bloody Mary or two. Hope they can wake up for game 2

Shortened to 7 innings, not much time for any late game heroics. Better get it going now.

Any pitcher is really going struggle if they can’t control their off speed stuff. No pitcher will be successful if they can’t locate their fastball.

Hitters today can turn any fastball around. Forbes can’t throw his off speed stuff consistently for strikes. Hitters can just sit up there looking fastball. Forbes fastball has zero movement and can’t really locate it. He is working from behind so he is going to be hit.

It explains why he is getting hit and his strikeouts are way down against the better hitter ACC teams.

Good Lord,2025 and we can't get a shot from the one angle that's not blurry.

This one announcer is woefully biased against us and almost openly rooting for GA Tech.

I just don’t see very much “12 to 6” movement on Forbes’ pitches. The velocity is still there, but good collegiate hitters love those mid 90’s fast balls with no break.

Bad start. Hope the bats are alive to help. Forbes struggles to throw strikes consistently and this results in him throwing too many pitches. First inning and he is already at 35 pitches. This rate he’ll give us a whole two innings. He just walked a guy so his 36 pitches will most likely hit 40.
Oh, Ga Tech 3, Cards 0.

Game [s?] appears to have been moved to ACCNX.

They should bring Teddy back to mentor Tyler.

10AM start time tomorrow, weather permitting of course.

I remember the Larry Bird critics saying he was to slow to play in the NBA.

I was one of those people. Obviously, I couldn't have been more wrong.

Looking at the forecast, getting 2 in is gonna be tough. Not sure 1 is possible.

It’s official. No game tonight. Playing two tomorrow.

Honestly, it’s almost like the SEC is managing the ACC; keep them as irrelevant as possible.

I think we are going to play 2 on Sunday. Rain is really coming down. Radar does not look promising. Edit- May not get any game in on Sunday. Heavy rain and T-Storms all day into late evening.

Forbes gets the start. Hopefully, he finds the strike zone.

Additional 30-minute delay. First pitch 6:30PM.

Cincinnati is in a respectable conference a win over a P5 team helps. Memphis is in the AAC which is now basically a mid-major conference. This game benefits Memphis more than us, I have no desire to help make Memphis relevant.
