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)

Wake opened -205 today for the series sweep. Last two days were around -190. Don’t know if the slight bump is just adjustments for Wake at large or Hartle out there.

That’s a good point. The minors are terrible living conditions for players. And they are on the road all the time in the same shit cities in the same shit hotels.

The flip side is no classes and more games. And, until recently, paying vs being paid (a pittance).

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Semi-related, the minor league baseball union just struck a collective bargaining deal with MLB that more than doubles minor league pay at every level.

 

[Deacsfan27]

I could not believe how little money they were making, especially the low minors. Believe it was like $17,500 a year.

Their CF is a POS. If he keeps doing that BS with his feet and staring down the pitcher then he’s gonna get put on his ass a few times by opposing pitchers.

He has a super punchable face.

surprised with Grimes vs ????? as the starting pitcher.

Any free trials for espn + ???

Is this game actually going to happen? Family in the upstate said it’s raining really hard there.

If you have cable or a streaming service with ACCN you shouldn’t need ESPN+ to watch (and I’m not sure that you would get it there in any event, since it’s ACCNX)

You don’t need ESPN+. I wish they wouldn’t list them that way. They are on ACCNX which you have if you have ACCN.

I get verified with YTTV for all accn(+) games, but some games point me to login with ESPN

There have been a few midweek away games on ESPN+ (depends on the home team’s streaming platform), but all ACC games should be available without ESPN+ (and home midweek games).

True but I think you still may need the ESPN app to watch correct ?

I do

I get ACCN through YTTV but ACCNX doesn’t show up on YTTV, only the app

 

[Wakelaw2006]

Yes, definitely (or ESPN.com on a computer). But you don’t need an ESPN+ subscription.

Looks like it will be windy but only a 20% chance of rain in Clemson. Low 70s. Depending on which way the wind is blowing, could be a slugfest

Glad Lee is back, but Cueto acquitted himself well the last couple of weeks, especially with the bat.

His defense and energy last night was a huge difference in the game. He could help us down the strech.

He definitely deserves continued PT. I have actually been most impressed by his defense. He should play Tuesday games with an occasional weekend start IMO.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

I'd imagine he starts one game a weekend or so still?

I had to use VPN for last night as with all the Bally hoops games. With ESPN app and signed into both YTTV and ESPN plus subs it said at first something like game was not available with my package or in my area.
