G11: 10-1 *Good start by Barlow *For a team that was expected to have less power these guys have hit some moon shots early *Mahlstedt outstanding *Another quality midweek win and solid performance *Appreciate @JP_Priester asking about Reed Garris. I’ve been wondering
@JP_Priester G12: 11-1 *No panic when this team gets behind early *That said, comeback wins are great, but color me skeptical that’ll continue at same rate during ACC play *Moonshot by Purify (from what I could see). Kid oozes potential *Hinderleider playing solid 1st base
G13: 12-1 * Sloppy early. Lead off walks, not covering 3rd, 1st & 3rd 1 out but strikeout + pickoff kills rally in 4th, more bad base-running in 5th * Good for Tristan Bissetta *Reed Garris sighting 👀 *Wasn’t beautiful Saturday, but bullpen sepetates Clemson in non-con
G14: 13-1 *No panic in this team *Nice recovery from inauspicious start for Purify *Love to see Knaak (or any starter) stretched to 6/100 *Tigers win battle of bullpens again *Competition ramps up next weekend
G15: 14-1 *Not a ton of takeaways from today, but nice to see Tigers put it away early and leave no doubt. That’s what good teams do. *Looking for same intensity tomorrow. *Nice to see different names getting PT. You never know when you’ll find a Mike Triller.
G16: 15-1 *”Cruise control” on O after 1st *Easy to form bad habits in game/series like this. *Nice start for Billy B. *About as good a start to season as anyone could ask for.
G17: 15-2 *Mistakes by Gordon up in zone in B1 and B3 to Bravo *1st & 3rd no one out after Wright HR & 3 straight Ks was huge missed opportunity *Bullpen doing work again *Duke’s power for real *Understand Santucci is good, but all the Ks reminded me of previous regime.
G18: 16-2 [1-1] *Duke solid on defense *Clemson missed early opportunities w/RISP *Pitch to Obertop was center center & he clubbed it *What a play by Mathes at wall in 5th *Looks like Bissetta will get some more ABs 💣 *Thats the Tristan Smith we’ve wanted to see *Rob Hughes 🔥
G19: 17-2 [2-1] *What an outing for Knaak *Huge hits from Hinderlieder & Purify in 8th *💣💣in top 10. Clutch from Obertop and Hinderleider *14 Ks 0 walks 0 HBP by pitching 😍😍😍 *Big series win with FSU next weekend *High level college baseball from both teams
G20: 18-2 * Good to see Jacob Jarrell and Cooper Blauser on the field *Will Taylor with a couple hits *Young arms get mound time *Played solid all around
G21: 19-2 *Holy Seth Beer Jimmy Obertop crushed that HR *As did Blake Wright on his second of the game *and then Mathes crushes one 😱 *Blake’s third HR has not landed yet 🚀 *Another big series this weekend *Been a fun first five weeks but the best is yet to come
G22: 20-2 [3-1] *Run ruled a 19-0 team after trailing 4-0 after 4 batters *Stones from Darden after horrific start *Bakich was right. You can just see talent bursting from Purify *Offense on 🔥 *For a team that wasn’t supposed to have much power they continue to 💣💣💣
