Duke Baseball 2023

[loran16]

UVA leads, 4-3
Disaster inning.

UVA doesn’t hit homers like we do but they also hit for average and don’t K often. Once beilenson let multiple runners on, it was right where UVA wanted us

[CameronDuke]

3 run 6th for UVa.

Duke is down 4-3 top 7.

Need to answer back with a run or runs here.

Wake up the bats.

[Bob Green]

We need hits.

[arnie]

Oschell in now, which just makes me confused - if he was available now why wasn’t he in earlier ?

And UVA hits an immediate sacrifice fly.

Pollard tried to save Oschell for later innings. Plan didn’t work, but he couldn’t have known Charlie would get beat up so quickly.

The game is still right there for the taking.

After the first two hits there was time to pull beilinson and get Oschell in there. Instead he waited till the game was tied and might be burning our best pitcher in a game we were no longer winning.

He let an inferior pitcher pitch the higher leverage spot and got burnt.

[CameronDuke]

The starting pitcher for UVa pitched a hell of a game and is in line for the win.

[loran16]

Duke offense seems to be trying to hit home runs off everything. Hitting the under side of every pitch and popping it up.

Duke now needs to beat Virginia’s best reliever instead of a tired starter. Sigh

Relievers need time to warm up.

Relievers need time to warm up.

He has also been extremely effective in his role getting us to Oschell & Tallon.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Very nice outing by Oschell.

[CameronDuke]

4-3 UVa top 8.

Duke is in dire need of runs. They sit 6 outs away from a super regional opening L.

[loran16]

Relievers need time to warm up.

This is why you do things like stall after the first two batters to try to get Oschell time. This is not hard or unusual.

Anyhow, Oschell throws under 20 pitches so hopefully this won’t affect him having to throw in a win or go home game tomorrow

[chrishoke]

Agreed. I wonder if Tallon pitches the 8th.

[loran16]

Leadoff single for Beshears. Do NOT get thrown out stealing with 4 and 5 up please

[CameronDuke]

5 outs left for Duke.

[devilsadvocate85]

Set up for Metz to be a hero. Let’s go MJ!

[CameronDuke]

1st and 2nd 1 out.

Please don’t strand these runners.

Metz is pinch ran for.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Tying run at 2nd, leading run at first. One out.

New UVA pitcher.

[Bob Green]

Virginia changing pitchers. We need to capitalize here.
