The ACC Baseball Tournament gets underway on Tuesday at Greensboro’s NewBridge Bank Park, and Wolfpack Baseball (32-22, 13-17 ACC) will be there. Havi
[See the full post at: 2014 ACC Baseball Tournament]If only the baseball team would have changed their hat design, perhaps there would have been more interest in the game tomorrow. Looking forward to Carlos getting a chance to pitch the Pack into Pool Play against the Holes.
Throwing it out there, no pun intended – but does Carlos pitch today on 3 days rest?
Avent has already said no. But he also said that last year in CWS and Carlos basically told him he was pitching.
IF you rest Carlos today, there may be no tomorrow. IF you rest Carlos today and we do advance, when does he pitch again? If he pitches Weds (against FSU), would be 3 days rest for Sunday championship. If he goes Thursday, no chance for Sunday.
Or, would you pitch him today, knowing he could come back Sunday for the championship on normal rest?
Tough decision but I think today is do or die, and the ace needs to be on the hill. No chance planning for tomorrow if there is no tomorrow. Interested in thoughts and opinions.
I would pitch Carlos as a reliever in the 8th or 9th to close out the game if its close. Keep his pitch count very low in order to bring him back on Thursday or Friday to start.
Saying that, I’m no baseball expert by far. Very casual fan here.
I would NOT start Rodon today. Without him against FSU, we have very little chance. Without beating FSU, we have also no shot to make the final.
I WOULD then start Rodon on short rest in the final, if we get there. Assuming he feels up to it. Winning a final would be too big an opportunity to pass up. But winning today means nothing if we don’t advance out of our pool.
That is the tough Q BJD – really need to win against FSU on Weds to have any chance. But if you dont make Weds……….
I think the mental math gives us better odds of winning the tourney if we save Rodon for tomorrow. Of course, you’re probably talking about a fraction of 1% in either instance.
Haha, BJD, what is wrong with you? Do I sense some optimism? You are giving us a fraction of 1% but that is still more than normal 🙂
Agreed our chances are slim either way so I am almost preferring to stomp some Heel tail today. I would rather win today and go 0-3 than lose today to those cheaters.
Names of actual Hole starters:
Landon, Skye, Tyler, Parks, and Wood.
You couldn’t script it any douchier.
Mike – ha! I suppose I am saving the bulk of my pessimistic energy for my personal life. Sometimes it’s hard to balance one’s allocation.
Swoffy Cabal alert – no TV replay shown until the league office could confirm that he did stay on the base.
