Niner Baseball This Weekend

This weekend was incredibly annoying, losing two out of three to a team that we are clearly better than, but a few things to keep in mind.

  1. Our starting rotation consists of a junior, two sophomores, and a true freshman.
  2. Our starting lineup is also loaded down with underclassmen, with only three seniors.
  3. Arguably our best player has been out for three weeks.

We’re good, but we are young and we have obstacles to overcome. One frustrating weekend does not a season make.

We have a natl POY type hitter hurt. That’s a killer. He’s a game changer- Lyerly. He hit a bomb his first ab at Clem. Now we play small ball to score.

Our def is suspect, but fixable. We will be fine. I blame much of this on top 25 votes. Young teams get cocky and think they are ā€œthat goodā€ instead of remaining hungry.

We play at Winthrop on Tuesday and at unc-tarholeville on Wednesday. I can’t make the game at tarholeville, but I’m planning on going down to Winthrop on Tuesday.

Is anyone else going to Winthrop? Does Metro or anyone know anything about their stadium? I’m getting ready to look up the info.

Winthrop has some sweet digs. We played a series there in 2007 before Hayes reopened.

I’ll be in Chapel Hill on Wednesday night with the girlfriend - we may not be speaking during the game, though.

If you 2 have a major falling out over the game, send her my way and I'll straighten her out for you.

Just read the synopsis of the game yesterday. And just as I said in this thread. the ball has eyes or doesn’t some days. Fordham had 5 double plays…unheard of. Those ground ball could of been 5 singles. It happens. Thats freakish. Blind squirrels find acorns. Of course Andrew Smith got shelled, that should not happen.

either way, losing 2/3 is not excusable. We will have Lyerly back soon and go on a major roll, bank it.

I’m going to Winthrop tomorrow night. Their stadium is sweet. They took 2 out of 3 from Coastal this weekend. We’re going to have our hands full this week with them and Chapel Hill.

This past weekend SUCKED!!

Agreed........ but now we are due.

I repeat—does anyone know when Lyerly is due back? This week?
