wish we could have saved Gilbert for TCU but glad he gave us a (mostly) worry-free win.

hope the potential thunderstorms tonight wreak havoc on TCU's pitching

next game is tomorrow at 8 eastern, btw. saw a tweet from PP a second ago where they had it wrong, but they've gotten about a dozen things wrong while trying to livetweet this game.

V i do. don't actually have a twitter account but had packpride's feed up from earlier and refreshed it every now and then to see if they had anything interesting to say. thought it was pretty pointless since our official one is so good.

^just follow NC State Baseball. Their live tweets are on point.

5/29/2015 6:22:14 PM

Good W. Let's go 2-0.

5/29/2015 6:23:04 PM

Id love for TCU to lose...that would be perfect.

5/29/2015 6:30:41 PM

Who is TCU throwing?

5/29/2015 8:47:39 PM

TCU leads Sacred Heart 6-0 in the 6th. They are throwing Traver tonight, who by ERA (1.89), is their ace.
Haven't seen anything about tomorrow. Other starters have ERA of 2.05, 2.63, and 2.87.

5/29/2015 10:09:50 PM

TCU wins 10-0

Day 2 schedule:
Stony Brook-Sacred Heart 3:30
State-TCU 8:00

5/29/2015 11:15:02 PM

kinda surprised TCU threw their ace last night.

5/30/2015 8:11:38 AM

I mean, they supposedly have 4 aces so I don't think it matters.

5/30/2015 10:22:27 AM

Yeah. They have three more consistent starters to throw. Young 9-2 2.05 ERA, Morrison 11-2 2.63 ERA, Alexander 5-2 2.87 ERA.
The three guys most likely to be used out of their bullpen for us have an ERA of 0.00, 0.67, and 1.60

[Edited on May 30, 2015 at 10:35 AM. Reason : Their pitching staff is good.]

5/30/2015 10:35:19 AM

4 starters with sub 3.00 ERA's and 3 bullpen guys with sub 1.60 ERA's. How did they ever lose?

5/30/2015 11:07:56 AM

the guy they threw last night has been mostly starting midweek games, has only been used a couple times as a weekend starter IIRC. hard to determine who's their ace, though. here's part of an interview Backing The Pack did with someone from a TCU site, which lends a little more insight into their pitching:

Quote :

"BTP: TCU has a lot of good pitching options to work with -- how will the Frogs order their rotation this weekend? MW: I think they're going to keep it like they've been doing as of late. And that's going Tyler Alexander (LHP), Preston Morrison (RHP), and then close it out with Alex Young (LHP). Especially starting the series off at night, they'll wait to use Morrison's ground ball (think Greg Maddux approach) for the second game. Should TCU lose their second game, you might see the hard throwing righty Mitchell Traver. But my gut would say, in that case, they'd still stick with throwing the lefty, Alex Young, who's arguably been the best pitcher for the Frogs all season. BTP: The thing that really stands out to me about TCU's pitching staff is the top-to-bottom ability to avoid handing out walks. Is this a skill that TCU actively develops, or is it more the result of who they target in recruiting? MW: I think it's a little of both, really. They know they kind of pitcher they want, but even then, TCU is made up of an electric arsenal of arms. You have ground-ball savants like Preston Morrison, who will beat you tactically. Traver and Ferrell will beat you with power. And the starting lefties; Alexander and Young will beat you with a low-walk count, and high K/9s. Trey Teakell out of the bullpen is another arm to watch. The team's approach in the postseason is going to be exciting to watch, and hopefully, it gets a little experimental."

GON

WIN

5/30/2015 12:10:13 PM

TCU is starting Morrison tonight.

5/30/2015 12:36:12 PM

Wolfpack in the house!!!

5/30/2015 1:57:03 PM

FYI the Sacred Heart/Stony Brook game had a rain delay in the bottom of the 1st so our game may be delayed. there's currently 1 out in the bottom of the 3rd (7-2 Stony Brook lead)

5/30/2015 5:27:14 PM

Sumbitch, thx for the info


9:05 start time

5/30/2015 7:54:45 PM

So where's this game

5/30/2015 9:12:26 PM

i dun get the brick laying outro.... anyone??

5/30/2015 9:22:01 PM

Good thing is we seem to be putting the bat on the ball...disrupting their pitching.

5/30/2015 9:26:57 PM

Not on anything but espn3?

5/30/2015 9:35:55 PM

Swing at balls. Take strikes.

5/30/2015 9:39:04 PM

welp...

5/30/2015 9:50:18 PM

smdh what a terrible decision

5/30/2015 9:50:27 PM

Turned a single into a HR with 2 outs.

5/30/2015 9:50:45 PM

ugh. what a terrible risk to take in that situation

5/30/2015 9:51:51 PM

Lol that was some little league shit.

5/30/2015 9:52:40 PM

Why would you play deatherage..

5/30/2015 9:54:24 PM

"Im so mad i made an embarrassing error...im gonna throw it as far as i can"

5/30/2015 9:58:20 PM

A) what a dickbag move by the ump charging the delay and the ball, then he didn't even have the balls to stick with it meaning the game was delayed even more
B) what a stupid choice by our outfielder. Keep the ball in front of you.
C) cheap move by the catcher. Fuck him.
D) why the fuck are you running on a hard hit ball right by you with 0 out. Jesus Christ

[Edited on May 30, 2015 at 10:07 PM. Reason : .]

5/30/2015 10:06:11 PM

lol cheap shot by the catcher

5/30/2015 10:07:32 PM

Do we not have base coaches, Jesus christ

5/30/2015 10:08:02 PM

Still a good inning. Would've liked to not have questionable base running

It seems like we could have two errors on that play.. But we have 0

5/30/2015 10:11:10 PM

I can't be too mad at that half inning though... we really benefited from a lot of their mistakes

well, really would have appreciated that insurance run even more now

[Edited on May 30, 2015 at 10:13 PM. Reason : ]

5/30/2015 10:12:38 PM

I'm very mad at that half inning

5/30/2015 10:14:45 PM

Home cooking

5/30/2015 10:50:05 PM

Home plate ump is a massive dick

5/30/2015 10:51:08 PM

Not sure that was a balk on multiple replays, that guy definitely can't tell from behind the plate. Hope It doesn't matter

5/30/2015 10:51:19 PM

If we lose this game it will be because of the basics...inside the park home run, terrible base running, their triple should have been a double, balk...

5/30/2015 10:51:41 PM

yea questionable balk call.

5/30/2015 10:51:48 PM

TCU sure does have a bunch of idiot fans

5/30/2015 10:55:08 PM

Whew

5/30/2015 10:56:19 PM

LOL at those idiots cheering after the strikeout

5/30/2015 10:57:03 PM

3-0, Wolpfack

5/30/2015 11:05:32 PM

uh wat??

5/30/2015 11:12:38 PM

We have to go 3-0 after tonight to win this regional?

[Edited on May 30, 2015 at 11:19 PM. Reason : Tonight's impending loss]

5/30/2015 11:19:05 PM

Good decision to bring on the new pitcher
