2024 Wake Baseball Thread: What Did We Do To Deserve This?

[WindyCityDeac]

You can play "small ball" without giving away outs. It's dumb for Tellier to ever bunt just to move a runner up given the power and hitting ability he has.

Giving away 1-3 of your 24 or 27 outs every game is antiquated and needs to go away, ESPECIALLY for a team that can rake like we can.

I get bunting down the lineup in college. College defense is sketchy. I get bunting in late game high leverage situations with those guys. I get bunting as a “play”, 1st and 3rd 1 out.

Other than that just stop that shit. Tellier, King, Kurtz and Winnay should Never bunt. Ever

Alright almost game time today..let’s get Massey a few rehab innings in and then bullpen it 2 innings at a time to keep things mixed up. As long as the bats keep feasting we head to the broom closet!

I would throw Javar, Reinisch in there and Houston is close to it. Nelson and the catchers bunting would not upset me.

How is it possible I get every other college baseball game possible on ESPN+ through Hulu, but never the Deacs

I'm sure it's been answered somewhere and I'll search the ESPN+ thread

This is going quite well so far.

Cameron Gill might actually be a good defensive catcher after all.

This is on ACCNX, not ESPN+. Need to have ACCN on your cable/TVstreaming plan with whatever provider and be signed into ESPN with that provider.

Know Gill has had some issues holding onto the ball but he has a deadly throw to 2nd for pick offs!

Or at least a couple of really good throws today!

What is greatness if not a collection of great plays?!?

It’s not on ESPN+. It’s on ACCNX. ESPN+ is a pay streaming service. ACCNX is free as long as you have access to ACCN through whatever cable/streaming provider you use.

Marek is a great bunter. I sort of figure with how the bottom of order has been he’s not have much opportunity. But yeah

Massey looked good - I’m kinda surprised they pulled him if they really thought he could go 50 pitches.

I appreciate the discipline with his recovery. Need him healthier next weekend than this one.

I want to meet the woman in the Bimzelx commercial.

Rhino looks back on track

This is more than I ever wanted to know about frisbees.

 

[Deacfreak07]

Why was it important to have Ballestero in at DH with Rhino in RF?
