Lucas: A Well Ordered Sweep

Sabermetricians like Bill James are convinced that a batting order doesn't make much difference. "There is no real evidence that batting order matters," James has said previously. "What matters is having good hitters. Who hits second and who hits sixth...there is little evidence that it makes any difference." Maybe that's true. Maybe over the course of a long 75-game season--or, in James's case, a 162-game major league season--everything evens out. But sometimes baseball is a game about feel. (Tar Heel Blue)

  • Excellent and comprehensive addition to the Heels' NetWorld Offerings. Really appreciated by one such as me who lives beyond the "info line" here in the Charleston area, we get drips and dribbles but you give us the big, complete overview. Greatly appreciated. A must-be Bookmarked! Thank you.

  • The accumulation of stories involving the Heels is better than getting a Google alert. I check the site every day.

  • It's the BEST, most comprehensive place to gather info about the Tar Heels. I love it!!
