He has actually been pretty good this year except for the 2 App games. He’s looked terrible in those 2 games for some reason. He’s going to be a key lefty out of the pen as a Freshman.
Speaking of lefties, Tanner Kaler is starting to come along. He’s put together some good innings lately. Threw 1 pitch and got 2 outs tonight.
Carson Bayne is a little high-strung at times, but in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs, bases loaded, and a 2-2 count, this pitch was called a strike 3 pitches after the same pitch was called a ball. He deserved to yell at the ump after this.
UTSA will be coming in off a big win.

He seemed to have a tight zone all night, and then calls this ball on the chalk a strike. Unbelievable!!!
clt says it seems that is hard for our team to take appy seriously with those unis.
glad we kept the focus for the win
One of the less satisfying wins we’ve had, but still far more satisfying than a loss. Tough series this weekend coming up
Great way to end a game, but against a traditional defense, theres no runner on first.
Win is a win is a win. Anything can happen in mid week baseball. Take it and move on.
clt says this is the problem playing lower tier teams like appy. even with a win, we feel like it is a loss.
Great crowd at The Hayes. Where were all the thousands of Appies though? A lot of people forgot to give their all yesterday.
We still have a lot of upside ahead of us. Still, after last week it was good to bounce back to get a win against an inferior program from an inferior institution.
Yep------but thank goodness for Taylor, although he didn’t look near as sharp as he usually does, he did just enough.
Taylor seems to need a couple of batters to get settled in.
How about Cody Gunderson? Kid is hitting almost .400 with a nearly 1.300 OPS 5 weeks in. I’m impressed with his work at 1B as well.
Mr. Consistency!
Nice to have him even if its only one year !
We gotta get Maryniak going !
He is doing well. I must say, I would like to see Spencer Nolan getting a little more time. I like him and thought he was pretty solid, even last season.
I heard from some App fans that there were probably more of them at the Hayes tonight than their home games usually get. Shockingly no one wants to live in Boone
If you subtract the player families, there were not more than a handful of actual Appies. It was a tough night for them to come out though. It was less than 48 hours until their heels play in the tournament.
FWIW, the Heels played last night. Quite a beat down they put on the Aztecs, though Ole Miss should be a more formable foe.
When we went to Boone last week, there were more event staff there than App fans at first pitch. A few more trickled in as the game got going, but to be fair, their students were on spring break.
As for last night, they had lots of friends and family, not necessarily fans there. They have a few players from the Charlotte area, namely 2 from Hickory Grove, and it seemed like their whole team was there.
LOL fair enough. Shows you how much I’m paying attention to those folks. That really does explain where they were.
