[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 936715, member: 4003"] Almost responded to this yesterday, but wanted to double check my recollections, since I was listening to the game on the ramblinwreck app while driving. And the driving part consumed most of my attention. First of all, yes, GREAT Sweep! Yes, the defense made a few mistakes, but I think they were solid overall after the first inning. The first error on Diamant sounded like it could have gone either way. If I'm not mistaken, WREK originally called it as an infield hit, later changed to an error. I was not watching, so others may have a better feel for how difficult the play was. The error on the DP ball was the big one that inning. But even after that error and a SAC Fly, you have 2 on with 2 outs and only 1 run in. There are times where pitchers will have to pick up their fielders, just as fielders pick up their pitchers by making nice plays to get out of innings. Finley did not do that in the first. That's also one of my pet peeves about the way earned and unearned runs are booked. If a pitcher has an opportunity to get out of an inning with 2 outs and only 1 run scored due to an error, and they then give up 6 with no further errors, those are all unearned runs... I call BullS#!t on that, but that's the way it is. The other error was on Romano in the 4th, which the radio broadcast indicated that he had to go a long way to get to the ball and had it bounce off the heel of his glove. Again, those that were there or watching on TV may have a different perspective. Romano also made a nice, over the shoulder, sliding catch in the outfield later in the game, according to the radio broadcast. We turned 3 DP's, and as Hall noted in his post game presser, Diamant handled all of the opportunities that came his way after the first inning. Defensive miscues, yes. But I wouldn't call it "not good", or say that they let the staff down. In my opinion, Finley did as much to not "pick the defense up" as the defense did to "let him down" in the first inning yesterday. My major concern is that we can dig ourselves out of 4 or 5 run deficits against Miami University, Georgia Southern, and Tennessee Tech. Not sure that will work as well in ACC play. [/QUOTE]
