Unfortunately, tonight’s lineup may be one of the weakest we’ve put out there all season. I still think we can come back and win, but gonna have a lot to overcome these last few innings.
That throwing error hurt, otherwise would’ve been 3 up 3 down. Then not sure why Hall missed that flyball. Had two chances to get out of there with no runs allowed.
If I’m correct, only 5 of these guys have seen the mound over the last 20 days (dating back to Sunday 3/25 game at NCST). I may have missed one or two maybe.
Combs (last night)
Hughes (last Friday)
Chapman (Ga Southern 3/27)
Mannelly (last Sunday)
Winborne (last Friday)
We’ve had 10 games in...
Did y’all hear in the past two seasons for Bart in the games at Mercer, he went 8-8 with 4 HRs and 5 walks???? So he reached base in all 13 of his plate appearances...also, 13 PLATE APPEARANCES IN 2 GAMES!!
Very happy we got the win tonight as I really didn’t want Mercer to keep their in-state...
Archer back in there for his 3rd inning....I hope @FredJacket is right and Archer doesn’t get fatigued over the last half of the season. I’m sure tomorrow we will see 6-8 pitchers get innings.
How about Joey Bart and McCann tonight??? Both have 2 HRs. Joey is 8-8 at Mercer over the last two...
And CDH rolls Archer back out there for a 2nd inning. My biggest concern is that in 2-3 weeks, Archer is gonna be gassed. He’s our only truly reliable reliever right now. Datoc is very close second.
Maybe I’m overthinking it and Archer will be fine.
McCann with a grand slam in T5 to tie up the score at 4-4. Hurter struggled a little with control in the 2nd inning and Mercer started sitting on his fastball. Has looked much better in the last two innings.
I think Curry stayed home last summer and just worked with his own pitching coach (what was his K/BB ratio last year?). We never saw the real CT last season. We never even saw Tristin the last two years on the mound. Hurter started shaky and has adjusted very well so far.
The fact we have 4...
Like I wrote sometime last week, we are running Archer out there too much in situations when we could put someone else in. Archer has been awesome, but I worry he’s getting a little fatigued.
Honestly, I was surprised we brought Archer in last night. We were down 4-1 and I never got the feeling we would score more than 4 runs the way we were swinging (or not swinging) the bat. Maybe that’s a defeatist attitude, but I’d rather have saved Archer for a potential game when we have a lead...
Game moved up to 4pm today due to rain forecast coming in around 7pm.
Hopefully Murray is available to play this afternoon. We really need him back in the lineup.

Hurter was actually in the pen on Saturday or Sunday along with Archer, Datoc, Winborne, and Chapman, so there’s a chance CDH may be thinking the same thing. Since we didn’t have to use him last weekend, that would be why he started last night.
