2023 Baseball Week 5 - UNC-Chapel Hill (ESPN+); At LaTech (CUSAtv)

Maybe too many practice game amongst themselves.
Jacks demise is mind boggling.

We are currently in the middle of our toughest part of the schedule (VT, ODU, LT, DBU). The conference blessed us with the toughest 2 teams in the league as our week 1 & 2 opponents. LaTech had our number last year, so I’d love to go down and grab a road series in our last trip to Ruston ever. LaTech just split 2 games vs Air Force at home during their mid-week games.

Next week we host DBU and then after that the schedule gets easier. If we can be 3-3 in the league by next Sunday, we will be in really good shape.

Weekend rotation:

FRI- Hudepohl
SAT- Conte
SUN- TBD

Is Evans hurt?

No. He pitched last Saturday in relief.

clt advises the team to allow fewer runs

will send a consulting invoice to mike hill

I can only assume Loathes will never be a starter again.???

Lothes never was a starter to be honest. He was a bullpen guy in 2021.

He hasn’t been the same since coming off injury. Looks like he’s lost some weight. Hopefully he’s still working his way back and he will be able to contribute.

Yeah, i hope so.

Unless I missed it, I don’t remember Rossi making an appearance yet ?

I think you are downplaying the importance of Marquee games here.
We still have SC and ECU uptown. If we get drilled by both of those in front
of nice crowds, hard to complain about getting the fanbase engaged.
We all hate to admit it, but these games move the needle.
Have to beat these guys in front of our fans to ever get some respect.

When you go uptown for the ECU game you will get a good look at a fanbase that truly supports their program. Their fans make plans, our fans make excuses. That’s the way it always has been and always will be.

They took over our stadium when they came here in 2020 while most of our fans sat at home complaining on the internet.

Cant believe LaTech has us on CUSA TV this weekend.

He has not. Tony had surgery at the end of last season and he’s still working his way back. Not sure how close he is.

Exactly, why go to these games and get embarrassed?
We have all seen it over and over.
I bought 6 tickets and will fully support my niners, but
I am also expecting to sit there and drink beer while
We get drilled in front of some ECU guys in the group.
TBH, I would rather win the ECU game than win the series against
DBU.
I want to have the same feeling I had when we beat Georgia Uptown.

I think we are in agreement that our fans suck. Enjoy the game!

You should plan on coming to more games, but with lowered expectations.

Not ALL of our fans :flushed:

Futility at the plate through 8. Putting on my rally cap.

Yeah, our “big guys” aren’t producing in the big moments.
