Duke Baseball 2018

A balk?

Wow. That's like seeing three-seconds called.

Laskey in danger zone.

Was watching on my phone. (Ain't technology great!) That balk, and I'm sure you saw it at the ballpark, and I assume that's where your are, was a "no doubter". He made his complete stretch and windup, taking the arm back to throw, and then slow-motioned his arm as he came forward. Very strange looking and hard to imitate, but definitely a balk. Guess he lost his grip on the ball (maybe(?) LGD! GTHc! 9F!

Laskey hits the 80-pitch mark after 3.1 IP.

[jimsumner]

Bases loaded two, outs, Laskey running on fumes, 92 pitches.

Duke going to the pen.

Chilliari is the usual Tuesday starter. Pitched four against Liberty on Tuesday.

You want your Sunday starter to eat more innings.

[jimsumner]

A single makes it 4-1.

All four Carolina runs have come with two outs.

[jimsumner]

Make that all five runs.

[jimsumner]

5-1, b4

[jimsumner]

Duke looking a bit overmatched right now.

[jimsumner]

Make that a lot overmatched.

[jimsumner]

Stinson in for Duke.

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

This is baseball, according to some dude named Berra, it ain't over till it's over!

[jimsumner]

Sunday baseball can be a different sort of beast.

But it would take quite the rally. Quite the rally, indeed.

[Bob Green]

Jimmy Herron with a 3 run homer to cut the lead to 8-4.

[jimsumner]

Herron 3-run blast over left-field wall.

That's a start, I suppose.

8-4 Heels after five. A quick 2 hours, 10 minutes.

Sunday ball.

Interesting...can you elaborate?

Third game in three days tends to find college teams with tired bullpens. Common expression is "we ran out of arms.

Gotcha...I knew arm management was a key in these series, but somehow the phrase "Sunday ball" made me think there might be something else. This makes perfect sense. I knew Pollard was very carefully counting pitches for Labosky and DeCaster.

[jimsumner]

Two-out hitting is the story so far.

[jimsumner]

Still, 8-4, B7.

[jimsumner]

Carolina catcher takes foul ball to crotch. Does not look good.
