Folks, I’ve been swamped- research, and on top of that Organic Chemistry lecturer (new position!). But, much like the hibernating bear must awaken from his slumber, I too must force myself to make time to preview the Pack9! I will begin with last years disclaimer: It’s f*&#ing baseball folks, we’re going to lose games, 10 […]
I cut it pretty close, but I still managed to get to the baseball team before Friday’s opener against Appalachian State. I’ll add to this periodically; I only had about an hour to throw in tonight. 2013 should be a fun year for the Wolfpack, who return a solid nucleus from last year’s squad that […]
Since we all need a break from last night’s events- NC State defeated Marshall to open baseball season 10-3 today. Trea Turner broke the game open with a bases clearing double, and Carlos Rodon picked up his first college win in his debut, pitching a stellar four innings (5th through 8th). Ogburn went the first […]
My favorite time of year is fast approaching- baseball season is upon us! We open next Friday against Marshall. I’m particularly excited about this year’s edition of the Pack Nine as we have a good mix of talented veterans and newcomers this season. The new arrivals should be very, as evidenced by a recruiting class […]
So… I’m ridiculously slow. You can thank 90 hour work weeks for that. However, as promised, I have this year’s glimpse at the NC State baseball squad, and we’ll focus first on the offense. Why the offense? Well, let’s face it- it’s sexy. Pitching and defense win championships, but unless you’re a hard-core baseball person, […]
We’ve gone over a lot of NC State baseball in the last months; I’m quite impressed by the baseball conversation that has gone on this year. It appears interest has really picked up since I penned my first entry 2 seasons ago. We’re going to take this entry to briefly introduce the competition we’ll be […]
The Wolfpack open the 2010 season today with the first of three games against LaSalle. Many were disappointed with last season, but this year should prove to be better with a more seasoned offense. There are a few bullpen questions, the most intriguing being what role Russell Wilson ultimately plays. It has been suggested the […]
Baseball is coming up next weekend (19th), so it’s time to polish off the team preview. We’ve looked at an overview of the offense, now it’s time to take a look at the pitching staff. I’m not going to get terribly heavy into the stats here, but rather will just throw out the key names. […]
Fresh off a fantastic basketball win over Duke, I thought now would be perfect timing to heap on the positive news. Baseball is right around the corner, so it’s time to begin the preview of the upcoming Wolfpack season and I’ll start with the offense. Last season was a disappointment to many, although I warned […]
The Wolfpack baseball team recovered from a Friday loss to the Hokies to take the series 2 games to 1 with a doubleheader sweep on Sunday. The first game, well, looked like football with a 19-18 final score. Pratt Maynard paced the offense, going 3-4 with 4 RBIs. The two teams combined for 11 errors, […]
