Also, why didn't the coach send the runner on 1st to 2nd when they had 1 out and a runner on 1st and 3rd? Would have eliminated the double play.

Guys had a great season. Obviously hate to see it end like that.

I feel I failed them as a fan … I had several fan jinx moments the last two days. Yesterday before the game I started thinking ahead to how to manage a family event next weekend during the CWS. Sooooo dumb!

Then today finished my book too soon — in the 7th inning! I’ve been reading the same novel in the regionals between inning and during AZ at bats to keep calm and got into it and finished too quickly. Right after the error I tried reading the acknowledgements and then started another book but it was too late. Gaaaaah.

I feel like I need to write them a fan apology.
 
That's a heart-breaking way to lose a game and end your season. Just heart-breaking.

I hope the rest of the team is able to pick VDB up. I know he's got to feel terrible.

Well, it was a good run that just came up a bit short of where it felt like it should have.
 
Been fun watching Stokely hit the ball this season. He weighed a buck 90 his senior year of hs and overcame injuries.
Other than the ace I think the pitching staff has been overrated. Forbes didn’t give the staff and bullpen clear roles. Comparing them to 07-08 pitching staffs was ridiculous for that reason.

Cruel sport for sure. I still feel bad for Garret Gore. I think it was him that cost us title against Oregon State making routine throw from second. My grandad was coach at UNC back in the day and was speaker with coach Fox at a hot stove. My grandad told Coach Fox he felt so bad for him (Gore) obsessively and every time I watched UNC baseball with him till he passed he’d bring up how bad he felt for him, all he could think about. Another relative of mine came to UNC from Wesleyan with Coach Fox. No other program in the country more deserving of a national title than UNC. My Pirates should have a CWS appearance and Heels should have multiple titles. How the game goes just like life.

I think I have you beat

The 8th was the first inning of college baseball I’ve watched this season

Sorry everyone

After that error? That many pitches thrown, two on, none out, he almost had to pull him, IMO.

I still disagree. He gave up a ground ball that found a gap and another ground ball that is a DP 19 out of 20 times. They were still not hitting him hard. If the choice was between Lynch staying in or bringing in a McDuffie that got hit hard the day before I would have stuck with Lynch absolutely.

Forbes might have taken him out due to his worry about his head. Lynch is an 18 year old freshman pitching in the rubber game of the Supers in the 8th inning where your 2nd baseman just let a routine dp go through his legs. Heck, my head was messed up and I was just observing the game as a fan on TV.

The Matthijs injury hurt us pretty severely in hindsight.
