Outmanned and outmatched at the plate. Usually don’t see us cave like this but USM has some great pitching.

[Stonewall]

Four pitches , three outs. Yes Sir.

[311neers]

Start the bus, seems like we want to get out of town. But we’re home…

[Appmountaineers19]

These announcers are really grasping for straws when talking about the pitching.

Why do we take Clark out? He was in a groove. Are we “just getting work in” again?

Clark could be our #2 starter but isn’t getting his pitch count extended because of stuff like this.

[Stonewall]

I noticed the same .

I have no idea. At this point I would just throw arms that aren't in the normal rotation against WF. (because it doesn't matter at this point) rest whatever arms are left and try to hang on to a 6 seed because by the end of next week they could be a 9 seed.

Rainout wouldn’t be a bad thing. RPI is toast anyway for optics and “feel goods”

[Stonewall]

Swept clean. Caught them on an off day and still couldn’t get it done. Base running mistakes cost us.

[311neers]

I wouldn’t want to be in that locker room right now.

RPI meant nothing all year. They don't play a schedule where if they had a chance for an ALB that the committee would give them a look. They are what they are AND no more talk about this damn pitching lab until there are tangible results produced AND no more talk about ALB at the beginning of each year. Ok sorry rant over.

Ok i'm with you now.

We aren’t contenders in the conference. So Missy is so much stronger in every phase. Are they the best ? I hope so but we might find out differently in Horry County. Maybe we steal one there and manage to finish in the top six. Now a question: in what other sport would we consider finishing in the top six an accomplishment?

We’re in a great conference for baseball, and it’s only just getting started. Get a couple more arms and we can be in the top 4-6 consistently. That’s the trick, how do we lure top arms to Boone, NC? Money? Facilities? Playing P5’s? We’ve had some success with pitchers going pro…we could use that as an advantage.

[BambooRdApp]

It is an uphill battle in NC...
UNC, State, Dook, Wake, UNCW, Campbell and EasyU typically have decent to good teams .. although I realize that all players not coming from NC... still much talent to spread around NC alone..

So can everyone else. They get one or two "diamond in the ruff" kinda of prospects the succeed every few years but not consistent enough to be a contender. It's very evident they get the 2nd and 3rd tier pitchers. We will kindly disagree and that's ok. They have had 3 all conference pitcher since 2015 (start of SBC) while boasting the 3rd worst team ERA during that time.

Take a look at the stats for this year - only 4 pitchers have less than a 6.00 ERA and one of them only has 5 appearances.

Where are they going to get the money? Facilities? They play the first month off the mountain and barley get out to practice.

I think we are saying the same thing, but I’m not sure. The sweep this weekend did make me drink a few, but seems like someone finished off a 24 rack. Our pitching has to get better. No one is disputing that.

Top 6 seed and pulling off 1 or 2 wins in the tourney should be considered a success for this program.

[311neers]

Please just win 1 against the beach chickens. Can’t stand those teal turds.

Depends on the year. Finishing in the top six in football this year would be an improvement.
