6/2/2006 9:45:45 AM

Playmakers might, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind finding it on a Friday at lunch

6/2/2006 9:49:36 AM

Well looks like Im gonna have to listen to it on the radio.

We should beat Stanford.

I hope Avent is saving Gib for Texas, that's our only chance.

Junior righthander Gib Hobson (9-1, 4.60) will start for NC State on Friday vs. Stanford. Hobson is NC State's most experienced pitcher by far, having logged 50 career appearances, 36 career starts and 210 2/3 career innings. He has a 17-6 record and a 5.17 ERA in his three seasons at NC State. Hobson has made 19 appearances, including 13 starts, in 2006, and has allowed 50 runs, 45 earned, on 98 hits in 88 innings, walking 28 and striking out 61. In his last nine appearances, Hobson has allowed 18 runs, 16 of them earned, on 48 hits in 48 1/3 innings. He is 5-0 with a 2.98 ERA over that time. That follows a stretch of six appearances in which he worked 17 2/3 innings and allowed 22 runs on 29 hits (11.21 ERA), pitching himself out of the starting rotation. Hobson's last appearance was a 9-3 complete-game victory over then-fourth-ranked North Carolina on May 24 in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. North Carolina led off the game with a pair of bleeders that went for singles, and a three-run homer. Hobson allowed no runs on just seven hits the rest of the way as the Wolfpack rallied for a 9-3 victory. The complete game was Hobson's first since pitching a no-hitter March 12, 2005, against Maryland.

Stanford's SP will be Greg Reynolds. Here are his stats from the Stanford website:

6-5
3.47 ERA in 16 starts
111.2 IP, almost 50 more innings than any other pitcher on the team
104 Hits, 50 Runs(43 earned)
26 BB, 92 K's, 7HR's against, .254 OBA
4 Complete Games, 1 Shutout

Looks to me like he is a very good pitcher on a not so good team.

6/2/2006 12:40:25 PM

this CSTV Game Tracker is nice at work

game sucks, tho.

6/2/2006 12:41:29 PM

Why did he pull gib today at that point when he didn't pull him against UNC first game of tourney?

Similar lines...UNC--1 inning, 4 hits, 3 runs
Stanford--1 2/3 innings, 4 hits, 4 runs

not saying Avent did wrong by pulling him today, but history is on Gib's side.

6/2/2006 12:43:23 PM

^^^^ right, i just wanted to know what needs to happen to get to the next round

6/2/2006 12:46:21 PM

we need a miracle, if we continue playing like this

6/2/2006 12:49:48 PM

this is fucking terrible

6/2/2006 12:53:05 PM

gettin' owned

6/2/2006 12:56:35 PM

if we shut them down, we have a chance

6/2/2006 12:56:56 PM

yayyy, they didn't score any runs this inning

6/2/2006 1:00:14 PM

its a start, now we just gotta start hitting....which doesn't seem to be happening

[Edited on June 2, 2006 at 1:04 PM. Reason : ....]

No need in throwing your ace when you're behind in the first game of a tourney.

6/2/2006 1:09:17 PM

he really hadnt thrown very many pitches---might as well have seen if he could finish off that last out

wait--both games under consideration are first games of tourneys...can you clarify what you are saying?
