Clemson Baseball (Poll)

4 HR's in an inning????? That's incredible and will necessitate further googling.

Nestor Cortez just today, in his first game as a Milwaukee Brewer against his former team (the Yankees), allowed a homerun on each of his first 3 pitches, plus another later in the inning, for a total of 4 in the 1st. Then he allowed at least one more in the 2nd. New York won the game 20-9.

Here's all you need to know... it's not the volts that kill you... it's the amps.

So you’re saying V=IR?

Come on... let's not confuse the kid.

CU leads 2-0 bottom of 2nd

It sucks to lose, but hard to feel like we weren't the better team. Errors killed us, but they definitely escaped with the series win here.

I agree. I am still very impressed with our pitching and we're going to be pushing for a host spot, imo. Spivey, Paden, and Patel is a heck of a pen.

Had it, then

A little better on D this weekend & it's 2-1 or a sweep for Tech.

8-4 in ACC at this point... I'll take that 10 out of 10 times. ...but oh so close to a few wins better than that.

Oof, HBP and an unlucky bounce

Dang. No shame losing a series to the #3 team in the land, but missed a chance to make a statement by sweeping the DH punctuated by that 8th inning comeback. Oh well, let’s keep stacking midweek wins and get 2/3 minimum from a mediocre Stanford next weekend

Hopefully not for much longer. At least one of them has to take over Sundays at some point right? Although I honestly think Riley would be impactful in the pen too, so I don't think the pen would lose much. He just isn't going as long, but hopefully we wouldn't need him to ...

Meh. More like a freshman still learning the position - gotta come up and get that ball. Most "unlucky bounces" are just taking the wrong hop. He needed to take a better angle on that ball to cut it off and get the better bounce. Tough play to his right though at a position that isn't his natural one.

To me, it looks like they're using Riley as an opener. Give us 2 or 3 innings and then give it to Paden. I'm not upset at that thought.

Unlucky bounce I was referring to was the one off Ballard’s glove

The only thing that worries me about that series is going cross country. This is going to be the toughest 2 week stretch for us just because of the travel.

Ah fair. Yeah, that was just an unlucky reaction for sure. Hard to keep yourself from reaching for those on the mound. If he doesn't reach for it, pretty sure Hernandez had an easy play on it.

There were a lot of plays that nearly ended an inning. I think that's what make this loss so tough.

Yeah I felt like they barely made a lot of plays and we barely missed a couple of plays in the two games we lost.

Time to fire Hall! We can't let this losing continue!
