Wake Forest 2023 baseball season thread (Deacs end historic season with extra inning loss to LSU: Final record 54-12 and top 4 finish nationally)

[Harpua]

Hawke and Bennett combined for 5 hits. Rest of team 0-19.

Baseball is hard. One goofy infield hit changed this entire game

It Is but our big hitters have been terrible. you don't see crews or white take 3 strikes in a row.

It’s amazing we are playing this poorly when LSU’s entire pitching staff is on fumes. And we’ve had the extra rest. Just beyond lost in the batters box, save for maybe Pierce Bennett.

And Hawke.

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Our lineup seems to be full of guess hitters and they keep expecting pitches out of the zone and watching strikes go by instead.

Tommy has been good too.

Looks like SEC pitching is better than ACC. This deep into a pen in ACC and we generally get high run totals.

How does Walter not tell jj that with 2 strikes, they are going to throw every pitch in the dirt. So predictable

We watch when they pipe it, get desperate and swing in the dirt.

If we believed in the bats it would be different

 

[dreadthedeacs]

Just falling apart.

LSU’s pen looks pretty damn good to me.

 

[deacdixieboy]

Kurtz couldn’t save us that time.

Who has the ability to see how many strikes we have looking vs swinging tonight? I don’t understand the approach at the plate any of the last three games

That’s just terrible. No question about it.

 

[morrison2951]

We look very bad tonight. Uggh

 

[mersk862]

Fucking shit.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

I don’t think it’s anything other than a little nerves and baseball. Just gotta swing. Can’t get on base standing there watching strikes go by. Our strength isn’t standing and watching. It’s watching close balls go by. And it feels like we’ve lost that difference somewhere recently

They are pitching really well. Strike 3 to JJ was gross. Looked like a FB and just dove

 

[TripleDeac21]

And Houston’s throws continue to sail.

Fuck off

 

[Wakeforest22890]

We’re just quaking now

 

[Harpua]

Fuck are you doing?

 

[TripleDeac21]

Really getting exposed tonight all over.
