NATIONALLY RANKED NINERS play the #5 ranked tarholes of unc-chapel hill.
This game is NOT BIG because we are playing our sister school. This game IS BIG because our NATIONALLY RANKED NINERS are playing the #5 ranked team in the country.
The game is at Chapel Hill at 6:00. This is a great chance for NINERS living in the Triangle or even Greensboro to see this team in action.
I wanna go… 
Hopefully you triangle niners can make up for me.
lets paint that place green - it will at least make it easier to look at when we drive by
Bumping for Triangle are Niners and anyone thinking they may decide to drive to chapel hill to see our baseball game.
I’d go if it wasn’t a weekday game. Is Mills pitching the game? I know he pitched last Thursday, so he should be rested, right?

Utter says Mills is not pitching. Hibbs keeping him with routine, pitching him in Friday conference game.

Thanks Mike. You’re not so bad all the time.

I agree that we should be going with Mills. I don’t see why Mills cannot pitch tomorrow and then on Sunday, especially since this previous weekend’s games were played one day earlier than normal (Thurs-Sat instead of Fri-Sun).
What if there is rain on Sunday? Are you willing to go through a weekend without Mills throwing?

Good point, but is it more important that he throw against the #5 rated team, or against Rhode Island? I don’t know the answer, but…
Metro, can you interject your expertise?
apparently Pfirrman has been given the go.
I haven’t gone to the games prior to the stadium opening, how does Pfirrman look? Where does he fit in our top pitcher list?
Bumping for Triangle are Niners and anyone thinking they may decide to drive to chapel hill to see our baseball game.Alumni association actually sent out invites in the mail for 49ers in the triangle with complimentry ticket offer. I took them up on that and will be showing up for the game.
Another question for Metro:
If Mills is suppose to throw a bullpen on Tuesday, could they do that in the game to close? Did you ever do that in the mid week?

4th best pitcher we have but he has given up 10 run in 12 innings. But he mainly sees a lot of relief work.
I hope Alex White does not start for the heels he was on my son’s little league team and he is very, very good.
Don’t worry, they will be pitching Luke Putkonen according to their website. their website also confirms that we will use Pfirrman.
When does this game start? I’d like to hear updates.

Mills is the game one starter of each weekend series (Friday).
I somewhat agree on starting Mills for this game. I understand the philosiphy of sticking with the weekend rotation, but when it comes down to it we need a win tonight to help the RPI. Win or lose against RI, I think we still have to win the tourney to get into a regional based on our RPI. Yes we will get an at large bid if we win 45 games, but that is tough.
