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)

Plenty of opportunities for both teams, only one instance of doing maximal damage, but thats all it took.

 

[2&2 Slider To Leyritz]

Shocking that our strategy of trying to walk our way to the CWS finals didn't work.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

some bad luck and a bad inning

that's why you win the first two so you get the mulligan

but yeesh I don't know if I can do another one tomorrow night

 

[Liquid Karma]

Can we get a gofundme to order up a slump buster for Kurtz?

 

[WindyCityDeac]

Haven’t lost 2 in a row all season. Relax

There’s plenty of hope left

 

[WFcatamount22]

Zero chance tomorrow. Less than zero, actually. Team played scared, gutless baseball.

Fuck off bro

 

[deacfan123]

lol, anyone who’s preached patience on here the last few days should be embarrassed. These guys may as well be taking at bats in my living room. Lucky as hell to win the first 2. Will look good on the wall that we got to Omaha but that’s it we didn’t even really make the trip.

 

[KingCurtis]

Here’s an idea. How about swinging the fucking bat instead of waiting on highly unpredictable umpires to make calls.

 

[ProbationDeac]

Offense better wake the hell up

 

[TripleDeac21]

No confidence in our Rake Forest offense. We left it in W-S. We’ve played hard gritty baseball and grinded out two big wins. But my god we look lost at the plate. Just low confidence at bats and looking at wayyyy too many pitches. It’s like we are hoping for walks rather than wanting to mash the ball.

 

[CounselorDeac]

Gotta bounce back tomorrow -- Can't win many games scoring 2 runs. The lack of a pitching change and subsequent deficit early set the tone, but they had PLENTY of chances to get back to even or take the lead.

Rest up and take care of business tomorrow.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

That’s a great call.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Woof. Let’s win tomorrow baby

 

[DeacdeTejas]

Hard to win a game, much less a championship, in the heart of your order is struggling. I believe the Deacs are going to bounce back tomorrow. But we need the middle of our lineup to step up.

This.

Our offense has absolutely gone pee wee in Omaha. No idea why but NEVER would have guessed just 6 runs over 3 games after the way we played previous weekends. So disappointing.

Floyd and the Stanford pitcher both pitched very well against us. No shame in not hitting those guys. The pitching tonight was not that great. A lot of hanging breaking balls and nobody threw that hard. This was a choke.

Bigger choke was probably Keener though. You can tell just by his body language he was nervous and it showed. He could not locate his change up to save his life. He needs to locate that in order to be effective.

 

[DeacNJ]

I don’t want to hear shit about the strike zone. The zone was all over the place but you NEED TO KNOW THAT and if it’s two strikes and close you have to swing.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Nobody has 2 of 3 of us this year. No reason its gonna start tomorrow.

 

[rawarr]

some of y'all seem more excited after the loss

 

[tbird]

Only one HR by Deacs since coming to Omaha. Hopeful for better results tomorrow.
