Part of the Wake Forest weekend is a game against the #7 Deacons. Based on this past week scores, they have BIG bats. Hitting .370 for the season. Dang, there may not be tickets this week!

So who is our current # 1 pitcher ?? Good question. Still a work in progress until we work through injuries. One thing about Rich, he will NOT jeopardize a kid’s arm.

So who is our current # 1 pitcher ?? Right now it appears to be O'Donnell, but if Bargo can get back to his form of last year he will likely be #1. Keep in mind MAC series are back to 3 games this year. My guess is MAloney may have to sacrifice most of the midweek games if we can't get enough arms healthy. Also, keep in mind Hartlaub has only pitched in two games in his career after redshirting last year. Scouts are already following him, so it could be fun to follow his progress. Also keep in mind our stud closer hasn't pitched yet, nor have a few other pitchers they expect to contribute. Quinn, a freshman pitcher, and a two-way player, Bevis, as a pitcher seem to have potential. It seems like the rough start is largely because of so many new pieces, but has been amplified by the pitcher injuries. Hopefully they can get healthy. Excessive injuries seem to be a theme at BSU in many sports the last several years.

Knock on wood Womens basketball has so far survived big injuries this year after last year with Anna and Estelle knees. Injuries are all over the place in football with the size and speed of the players. Are the hits more severe than in the 1950s with Jim Brown putting the hurt on people? I do think that with face guards their are alot less dental bills with football today.

We're playing Wake Forest. Sounds like one of our NC alums needs to replicate an outfield banner from a NC State-Wake Forest football game about 16 years ago...

Man, they do score runs.
I guess I was just wondering if the board feels we should hold our current #1 until the Wake Forest game to get "that kind of comparison".

BSU vs. #5 Wake Forest on ESPN+ at 5:00 pm ET Ryan Brown, bring it home. I'd be surprised if Brown starts. The most likley scenario is someone else starts. If we can get through 4-5 innings with a chance to win, then we see Brown.

Wind blowing hard to right field. Our first line drive to right turned into a 2 run dinger

Lost 7-4 to top 10 ranked Wake Forest last night. We were in the game until the end. Brown started pretty good but gave up 5 runs before Trevor O'Donnell came in in the 4th. O'Donnell pitched very well and the Cards held WF to 8 total hits (3 were bunt/infield singles). Rich is running out of time to gel the pitching staff and we aren't hitting consistently outside of a couple of guys. A MAC series with 3 starting pitchers is going to be tough for us this year with the injuries. PFW game today at 10 a.m.
