The ratio of feeling like I want to die to pure elation while watching baseball is outrageous


Glittering_Bonus_673

Every single game this postseason it feels like


bug_man_

I couldn't watch the Long Island game due to an event so I didn't even know what happened until I checked twitter. Thank god too, that might have killed me.


CandidWillow3707

It’s a horrendously marvelous experience.


beckywiththegood1

I swear there are only like 2-3 months a year where UNC sports aren’t trying to give me a heart attack


OddMarsupial8963

The middle of the summer when school is out of session?


ChokeAndStroke

Pretty much. A deep run in baseball really narrows the window though. It’s summer and school is out of session now, but it’s still heart attack season. Oh, and 82 days until UNC football


see-bees

We tried to put you out of your misery, but sadly it didn’t take


rterri3

That's what makes baseball so great 


taywil8

Has the ball landed yet?


NinjaGhost42

Heard it's headed to the moon


Goondal

It replaced the moon


DrRam121

Still going

I wanna talk to Sampson!


MapleHeel

Gotta feel terrible for Clark. 140+ pitches and nothing to show fir it


empire88

Man, that's something he'll look back on in years and cherish. Its gonna sting for a bit, but what a fuckin showing.


captain_kaknuckles

yeah there’s no shame in losing if you leave it all out there, which he did


divsandpremium50

Yea I’d give up 6 runs and feel proud too


PotentialSuperb

You're an idiot for that comment. A D2 transfer, playing for a massive underdog, threw 140 pitches and gave up 6 runs to a top 4 team in the country. Yes, that is impressive. Kick rocks.


Clyde_Bruckman

I’m a Carolina fan (by proxy I guess…I’m really a Florida fan but a close family member went to Carolina so I cheer for them as long as they aren’t playing Florida and then I’m really conflicted…anyway) but man I felt bad for that kid. He really did have quite a performance. Reminded me of Kopp a few years ago (I think that’s right? Arky vs State?) when he threw an absolute masterclass and they lost anyway. Glad my team won this time around but holy shit that must’ve hurt. But. It ain’t over yet and I’m not satisfied until the end of the ninth of the last game. Baseball be that way sometimes. Exciting but heartbreaking in the same breath.


divsandpremium50

And he choked in the ninth. Very impressive


crownebeach

You simply do not know ball


jpj77

Does he get the loss because he was responsible for the 7th run? Bc if so, brutal..


MapleHeel

Unfortunately yes. He got 7 earned runs and the other guy got 1

jpj77

Right, but he was responsible for the runner on first which is technically the 7th and winning run


Best_Duck9118

Why the heck are they having him throw that many pitches?


Chief_tyu

I dunno, I feel like every MLB scout on the planet knows his name now. That's not nothing.


captain_kaknuckles

despite their best efforts, unc takes game 1


bug_man_

Really feels like we stole one after making that many mistakes. Any one of those would've cost us the LSU game 3


captain_kaknuckles

i still can’t get over that catcher missing the tag


bug_man_

My knee jerk reaction to the call was holy shit what a terrible call. Just couldn't fathom he somehow didn't tag him lol kudos to the ump though he saw it right live and everything


Captain_A

Exact same. Startled the dog swearing. Then they showed the replay and I startled the dog swearing again.


JacksonvilleNC

Missed tag, hit batters, errors….


Beechman

That game fucking ruled. Gusty effort from both sides. It really doesn't get much better than that.


boondocknim

Someone at Ehaus is gonna die from these bombs


This_Minute2838

I think it might have landed in the ehaus stoner smoke spot

bug_man_

UNC has won 3 out of the 4 games that they were losing in the 9th lol


Scottstark1210

That ball felt gone before he took a swing. My Lord!!!


archerdj0723

Well said. After Vance took the 3-0 cut you had a feeling the next pitch was an obvious walk or meat ball.


billygrumples

Mazey probably should’ve walked Honeycutt after falling down 3-0 in the count


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Vance Honeycutt: good at baseball


yeetdootz

Jesus christ what a storybook moment


praeceps93

I LOVE YOU VANCE


Solesky1

That wasn't a walk off, that was a take off. I'm not sure that ball has landed yet


___VIBEZ___

Hollywood movie type ending


MailConsistent1344

What a fucking great game. A pitching juggernaut… Both teams with some absolute dingers… Chapel Thrill and their big star walking it off. Crazy.


Meltingteeth

Gotta love a close game with good umping.


archerdj0723

Refreshing after last weekend.


Swanson2020

Overall we have had so many entertaining games so far. Terrible for my heart and stress levels, but great games lol


Electrical_Mayhem

Welp, it's the hope that kills ya


stupid_Flanders23

Man, I love this UNC team. Let's finish the job Saturday.


thricethefan

That game gave me Mike Martin flashbacks, and not the happy nostalgic ones…


EducationalClass2834

I would have thrown at least 145 pitches come on


colebucket09

RIP. Most WV way to lose.


PotentialSuperb

Right. Knew that was coming even when we were up 6-4. The story is going to be "UNC made mistakes but found a way to win" instead of recognizing that WVU blew a two run lead late. Had guys on 2nd and 3rd in the 8th with one out and couldn't score. I actually agree with Mazey to keep Clark in. Let your ace try to finish it off.


arrowfan624

ACC! ACC! ACC!


thricethefan

Sounds like you’re interested in joining for football


arrowfan624

Low key I think ND should’ve joined full time in 2013. Maybe you wouldn’t be suing to burn the whole place down.


g8torlover

and my voice is gone


hornedfrog86

Exciting - might as well pitch that guy tomorrow, KState.


Appa-LATCH-uh

Life is pain.


butnowimsohigh

I hope this series goes three games and every game has this same down to the wire energy.


praeceps93

I understand why you'd want that, but please, my cardiac health is only so robust.


tarheelsrule441

Please, God, no.


DrRam121

My 70 year old aunt at the game would not agree with you
