Why did we pitch to Hale?

[Hankp22]

The count was 2-0 already. It makes no sense to pitch to him in that situation.

The question should be why the hell is Fitts still pitching to Hale? Everyone could see he was done. Get him out of the game there. Ridiculous. We had to win this one. We've now spent our best 2 pitchers out of the bullpen as well. If we had players that could simply run the damn bases without falling down, this game was over in the 9th inning. I'm sorry if he hurt himself but damn man.

We literally waited for him to fall behind before pulling him. Hell, at that point, just leave him in. It was like we were ready to go home so we stuck with him to get behind so the game would end. Just more stupidity from our brain trust.

 

[Hammer Down]

You are really going to blame this game on the coaches, aren't you? Plenty of stupidity tonight, but not from our coaches.

You aSsHAts Don'T kNow ANYthiNg aboUT BasEbAll!!!111!***

 

[DawgatAuburn]

No, it's a team effort. But leaving Fitts in was their contribution.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Also, the guy behind him hit a picture perfect double play grounder to short. Just sayin.

 

[whosyourdawgy]

Not solely on the coaches but leaving Fitts in was idiotic. He pitched his heart out but he was spent. We finally got our clutch hit to win a game but we have a kid bust his *** running the bases to ruin it. That was the game there to me. We had other chances and played our guts out. This team just can't put things together to get wins. Plain and simple

In the bottom of the 9th when holland was ahead in count 2-0 with bases loaded, Cohen should have given him take sign. Holland hadn't gotten a good swing against the lsu pitcher all night. Then in the 12th (think), holland did it again on 2-0 count with runners on 1st and 2nd. If you're (holland) going to swing 2-0, lazy opposite field fly balls are not what we're looking for.
