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've worn the same polo every game day since the Regional. Guess I know what I'm wearing to work on Wednesday.

Don't you go and do something stupid like wash that thing before the game.

 

[WFcatamount22]

Gotta keep that winning stank

“Is this Heaven?”

“No. It’s Omaha.”

There are a lot of LSU fans online complaining about the strike zone lol.

If you even try to make the argument that ump’s zone was favorable to either team you have insane bias. Dude just sucked ass

The ump‘s strike zone was equally horrible for both sides. We made 2 big fielding errors and walked too many and still found a way to win.

 

[DeacdeTejas]

Who starts Wednesday? Keener and Sullivan with plans for Lowder and then Hartle in the final?

This

 

[Harpua]

Ha ha. They'll likely be eliminated before we'd have to face them again.

Their pitching staff is skenes.... skenes.... and skenes.

Credit where it’s due, Floyd was very good today. Prefer to be done with LSU.

 

[1976Deac]

hartle through some bad pitches on his way to a very good outing and the bullpen came through

fun to be on this end of a grinded out w

Nice to have two starting pitchers whose poor games consist of giving up two runs.

Their starter tonight was very good until he fell off the cliff. But I think we have a huge advantage in the bullpen against everyone except maybe Florida.

 

[deacon14]

Yeah so I’d rather just play Tenn and not think about it.

Tennessee’s pitching is deep, which scares me.

LSU is a better team, but they’d have to beat us twice and can only throw Skenes once.

 

[Deacsfan27]

The ump behind the plate is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. He did tighten up at a terrible time for them, but he was just bad.

 

[Harpua]

So, win Wednesday, win Saturday, win championship on Sunday?

 

[1976Deac]

I muted it with the Skenes bullshit and watched the entire rest of the game on silent. I couldn't unmute due to the vibes.

It was bullshit filler, but Skeenes impressed me. He’s our kind of kid.

Works for me!!!

 

[wakelaw13]

It would be really dope if we could get a big lead and save one of Keener or Sullivan. How about throwing Mascalo for a few.

I mean if we win Wednesday, then we get Thursday and Friday off, and Saturday would be Rhett Lowder day.

No real need to think about saving anyone

Yeah, I thought he came across pretty well in that interview, not his fault it was too long and the announcers were ignoring the game.

Keep that thing stanky!

 

[rawarr]

This team is really fun. Seems like the timeout in the at bat just before the game winning RBI was essentially a “this worked the other day” joke. Those guys were all smiles in the highest pressure moment. And it worked again. (edited for clarity)

After mowing down 3 (possibly 4) SEC teams!

Yeah Florida and Wake I think went into Omaha the two teams that had the only real chances of winning out of losers bracket. Instead they are last two in winners.
