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

[For Deac's Sake]

Went into hiding for my mental health for a few days after our ACC tourney Bball loss and the Virginia series. Was just watching some of the reply of last nights game - why is Kurtz out?

he initially hurt his shoulder trying to make a swipe tag on a runner after a bad throw from our favorite future redemption story, austin hawke. then aggravated it trying to make a diving play against UVA.

(i think those two are related based on evan's commentary the other day)

BTW, Evan and Larry are a really good pair in the booth.

Got it, thanks. Is there an ETA for his return or is it a Tom Walter injury mystery special?

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Initially I heard 4-6

Most recent reports are by next weekend. He wants to DH this weekend.

Cool. Although we missed his glove more today than what his bat has been thus far...Winnay I think has done well but Kurtz is so good at first.

Winnay has been good at 1B. Had an excellent catch early today. The problem is the throws from 2nd and 3rd are rarely on target or quick enough.

That was fun. Skipped out on the law board meeting at noon and got to see Burns live from right behind the plate and a Deacon W. He's something special.

 

[Deacfreak07]

Burns apparently sick and didn’t have his good stuff today.

this lineup is gonna be so dope:

ss houston
3b tellier
1b kurtz
2b king
dh reinisch
lf winnay
cf javar
c gill / ballestero
rf nelson

5-1

Burns not at 100% and still putting up numbers like today just reinforces the fact that he is an absolute beast.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Missed it. Slide at second? You can pop up in college just not high school.

Didn't realize that. Yep slide in second

This will most likely be the lineup game 1 in Omaha

Of the championship series.

When WF initially moved King to infield before Marek was bonked in the head, they played King at 3B and Tellier at 2B. Think King has the better arm.

I think this is true too. Probably better on the hot corner too. Some combination of that is the ticket.

Marek, Nelson, and King is a little scary to try to hit into.

I very much agree. King should be playing SS, 3B, or CF. He's one of the best, if not the best, athletes on the team.
