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)

I'd imagine Keener starts any integral postseason games after the Big 3

 

[IAppreciateIt]

Well if McGraw doesn’t go down then one of Sullivan/Hartle isn’t on the weekends anymore.

Maybe they’d be weekend BP and Keener would be midweek, but either of Sullivan/Hartle would have ludicrous stats pitching against midweek opponents. Although then again Keener probably would too.

I'm sure it depends on the pitcher, but from what I can tell a lot / most of the time you end moving your next best pitchers (outside of the weekend) into the pen. E.g. Minacci has been a guy who I know has been mentioned as a possible weekend starter, and Keener was our primary weekend starter last year. I've heard mid-week starters almost being treated as good soliders who are willing to accept that role for the good of the team (I think Sorenson was describing Mascolo like that). I think closer --> weekend rotation is not an uncommon path.

that was a good pitch

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Really good pitch. Pretty much unhittable but a strike.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Let's get some runs here. This guy struggling to find the zone.

We blooped but we failed to score.

Strange.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

We've gotta get some hits with RISP. Been a consistent issue the last few weeks

Massey reminds me of Bobby Hoekstra.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Meat of the order. Tie it up boys

Argh

I thought the outburst in Game 1 at Louisville was going to be a turning point for the bats, and it may still be, but not much the last 23 innings

 

[deacdixieboy]

That was a hilariously bad call.

 

[Deacfreak07]

This is all WCD’s fault. Also, can we please stop playing this team in anything. Add Campbell to the schedule.

First game at full offensive strength in a while and Hawke gets hit in the hand and the eye in the 1st.

Is Hawke okay? Not watching. In Tampa looking for those women WindyCity is always posting about.

Wake hitters put him to sleep.

Yes (or at least appears to be), just fine. Stayed in the game and has made some good catches in center.

 

[Jroc25]

Are we really going to lose to Liberty?

 

[Wakeforest22890]

9 outs down 1. Let's get it going. Get hits with runners on please

 

[WakeForest Fan]

KURTZ!!!!
