Friday Clemson:

[73Card]

Not sure why but here I am. At least for a while.

 

[73Card]

Clemson's best arms and most starters sitting this one out.

 

[73Card]

ACC TV crew mentions several times a " must win for Louisville " if they want to advance to The Dance.

 

[73Card]

UL 3-0 second inning.

 

[73Card]

4-0 Cards.

 

[73Card]

6-0 Cards. ACC/ESPN crew giving me false hope of a Dance Invite.

 

[73Card]

King inexplicitly jogs after a hard hit ball in center field costing the Cards a run.

 

[Bardman]

I just got back and turned the game around n. Totally surprised. Doesn’t surprise me about King either. That is part of this team’s problem - effort.

This team needs a Team Psychiatrist.

 

[Bardman]

The last called strike on Luke was criminal - it was sooooooo outside. What a f&ckin joke.

 

[73Card]

Agree with the ESPN/ACC crew. OOC schedule ranked in the 200's especially with losses to teams like Saint Bonaventure at home who won 18 games this year is probably a dagger.

 

[73Card]

On cruise control winning 6-zip and the wheels come off yet again. I think that is the definition of "soft team".

 

[73Card]

Biven.

 

[73Card]

Still not convinced Williams is the problem. Roger has been here since MAC took the job. He has not forgotten how to coach, same with Mac. It's a talent problem.

 

[73Card]

This game is a snapshot of the entire season.

That is this team’s mo. Over and over and over and over

I tend to disagree. Poor pitcher development; poor in-game decisions (who comes in, when to remove guys); sketchy pitch calls. That CU player KNEW a Biven fastball was coming and he drilled it. Pitch calls have been discussed a lot here this season. Oh…if it is a talent issue…who is scouting/recruiting pitcher of not the pitching coach.

Yea..... Don't get me wrong and I am not giving either an absolute pass. I just think maybe a bit of patience, see what happens next year before we start taking scalps.

 

[73Card]

I cannot think of a more appropriate way to end the season. Biven throw 4 straight balls. Batter looked at all 4. Just a very disappointing season.

 

[Bardman]

Well, based these results AGAIN this year…something should be done. Better eval of portal players, better game decisions, and on and on. This game was pathetic. 6 run lead and they totally blew it. Unacceptable.

Agreed. Turnover the entire roster with some exceptions. A few months in the Cape Cod League in not going to make any difference with most of this roster.

No way on God's green earth we were getting in with a win. We literally had to advance in this league tournament. The announcers are on par with their pitiful insights all season. 🤨
