RE: Baseball Starts Today!
Looks like pitchers dominating early. Through 3 innings, it's 0-0 with ECU pitcher only with 35 pitches and Farrell with 36. Each team had a chance. Tribe with 2 on and nobody out in the first (and 2nd and 3rd with 1 out) and no runs while ECU with had 2 on and nobody out in the third and came away with nothing.

Still a pitcher's duel through 6 with a 0-0 score. Farrell with 78 pitches through 6 and ECU pitcher with 71. Tribe with 5 hits and 1 walk and ECU with 4 hits and 1 walk.

Clean inning pitched. Our hurlers are killing it.
Tribe at bat.

Haney is struggling. Immediately allowed 2 hits to put runners at 1st and 3rd with no out.

Yes, and we need someone to close this out or we are done, and so is our bullpen.
Great game though

Game over. Love the fact that we played hard against a top 25 team and could have won.

Those words "could have won" seem to apply quite often to the baseball team. This game reminded me of the first game of 2018 where the Tribe lost 5-4 in 10 innings to #12 Clemson. Gave up 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth in that one. Then they lost the next game to Clemson also by 1 run and then gave up the sweep. Hopefully this year the Tribe will win one or both of the next two to change that script.

To be fair, this is similar to football or basketball. If we're gonna beat a top 25 team, or even a P5 team in baseball, it's probably not going to be in extra innings. The depth they have compared to us is significantly different. The longer the game goes, the bigger the advantage to our opponent, because we're going to have to go further down our bench.

Other than some very good pitching in the first game it was a lost weekend for the team. The last two games
were one-sided. Both pitching and hitting were poor.

Best of luck the rest of the way, Tribe. Starting the season off with a road series is always tough. Really thought you had us in Game 1. I'm sure we'll see you in the tournament!
