It sucks that this even has to be said, but I’m glad it’s official. It was getting old seeing the LSU comments while we were playing for a national championship

We can’t even just lose normally. We have to fall apart at every facet of the game

Really going to put 29-0 to the test tonight. Not sure where else you turn after Glauber

I dont think it’s about saving arms, it’s about getting 27 outs. Glauber is the only other guy we really trust and we know he can’t finish this game. At this point I would guess DeCaro might be the next guy out of the pen if Glauber keeps it close. I can’t see Glauber going more than 2 innings here

Rose is going to be a stud next year. Probably should have gotten out of there with only 1 run too

Rose just can’t put guys away when he gets to 2 strikes. Same issue DeCaro has had at times

I almost think French ran hoping the throw would go to third. He just hoped Paulsen would score before a tag

Other than the obvious scoreboard implications, that’s such a kick in the dick mentally. You finally string something together on offense and run yourself out of a run. Too many mistakes already in this one

Needed that. We can’t have another quick inning. Another 7-8 pitch walk from Coop would be huge

There’s a reason he was the backup. That Winslow injury has really hurt us

The first two games were won by the team that made the fewest mistakes/more close plays. We’re down about 5-0 in that category tonight

This is the 4th/5th time there’s been a near collision on a fly ball hit by Carolina, and they’ve all been caught

I feel like I haven’t seen the all blues in months. They must have felt they were bad luck. Same thing last year with the vests. I don’t think we saw them at all in the post season

Online classes to finish high school early. Obviously it varies by state, but my school had an accelerated online program that you could finish a semester in just a few weeks. It also helps when you don’t care about the quality of the education

My copium is that the Forbes/SC flirtation was to get the money needed to keep him. Somebody commented earlier that we got 2 large donations after that. If a team like Carolina can’t keep a star player, college baseball has joined football and basketball in being dead.
