Good thing you're not in the joeywa press box, because you'd have heard one.

Was talking to my son about that as well.  Not sure why we didn't go to Duke there with the lefty up to the plate.

I initially thought the same thing, but these kids are pretty tough mentally.  I don't think it would be the case. 

That said, let's get this W and go home.
