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)

Just doesn't feel like it's going our way. Time to dip into the 'ol bag of tricks.

This is typical Wake. Get your hopes up and rip them out. Probably going to lose this one 8-1

There was never any hope. Only a fool's hope.

Good call.

Well we knew LSU was gonna pound some shots

Holy shit they are lightyears ahead of everyone hahaha

Tough for amateurs to beat pros.

 

[Deac6]

I hope your right, but I’m not sure

Told you

 

[TripleDeac21]

NO, and never will, buddy.

Sad!

 

[RacerDeac]

I think the atmosphere had us a little off our game. I mean, shit, they're playing in essentially an MLB stadium on a national stage. Who wouldn't be?

BUT, we've settled down now and I think even more dangerous!!

Yeah. Stanford definitely had the advantage of having been there, done that the last two years.

Kurtz really looked like he was pressing at the plate. I’m sure others were a bit unsettled. Stanford looked more comfortable than they did in their Super. Lol

Y’all, this is fun. This is really fucking fun.

Love the win obviously but also love all the guys that had various hands in the win at one point or another even if it didn't result in a run....was really a microcosm of whole year.....Lowder with only giving up 2 runs after the shaky start....Brocket....Sullivan with the 2 pickoffs....Hawke beating out the infield single....Houston and Johnson bailing out outfield with tough catches....
Keener dealing in late relief..Corona with the 2 run single.....Minacci closing it. Sure I may have missed a guy ...not intentional for sure. Go Deacs! One of top days ever to be "Proud to be a Deac" as they used to say!

 

[DeacsPop]

Good job Deacs; ya had me shittin my pants late but I appreciate the come back.

 

[vtwhat etc]

Hope we’re a little more aggressive at the plate, watched too many pitches go by today.

But, did we?

 

[For Deac's Sake]

So is it 100% that we’re in the late game Monday? Buying a flight and game time potentially influences when I arrive/depart.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

It sucks to come back and retort people who are posting in the heat of the moment. Come on dude. Don’t be that guy

Yes, 7pm Monday vs LSU/TN winner

 

[BoDeac]

WAKE…

FOREST!!!

 

[Deaconblue]

Love it that Kurtz and Wilkens were willing to get on base and not try to tie the game with one swing. That let Corona deliver two runs.

 

[mersk862]

So who do we want in this game tonight (aside from we wanting it going 22 innings early into tomorrow morning)

 

[BoDeac]

Stanford looked more comfortable than they did in their Super.

Can't wait to see how comfortable they look playing in the loser's bracket
