Well we aren't getting

[KurtRambis4]

a good start from KP.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

a good start from KP.

What gave you that idea

 

[Joe Mayo]

Self and Price are the only 2 pitchers on our team that ever get ahead in counts.

 

[muddawgs]

Self and Price are the only 2 pitchers on our team that ever get ahead in counts.

Pilkington has been ahead in almost every count.

 

[Dawgs'n'Grizz]

Poole just cost us big time with that blunder

 

[Joe Mayo]

We are so pathetic at running bases. It's outright embarrassing. I'm so tired of people saying it's our aggressive approach. There's a difference in aggressive and just stupid bad base running.

 

[57stratdawg]

We are not very good on the bases.

 

[muddawgs]

Really dumb when you have the best hitter in the league on deck.

 

[Joe Mayo]

He's fell behind to 7 hitters so far and 3 hitters he's gotten ahead of ended up with fulll counts. He had 50 pitches after 2 innings. My point was he always has high pitch counts and it's not because people foul off a lot of balls every batter either.

What did Poole do this time?

 

[muddawgs]

He's fell behind to 7 hitters so far and 3 hitters he's gotten ahead of ended up with fulll counts. He had 50 pitches after 2 innings. My point was he always has high pitch counts and it's not because people foul off a lot of balls every batter either.

pilkington has a 81 strikeouts to 27 walks and opponents are only hitting .193. So your dumbass statement that self and price are the only two pitchers we have that get ahead is just that a dumbass statement.

 

[Joe Mayo]

Just because he has a lot for strikeouts doesn't mean he gets ahead of hitters. He might fight back to get strikeouts a lot but it destroys his pitch count.

He's pretty much near 100 pitches every SEC start in the 5th/6th inning. He had 85 pitches tonight at 3 1/3 inning. I stand by what I said and your strikeout and batting avg against argument doesn't mean anything in terms of falling behind a lot and high pitch counts.

What is your theory on high pitch counts by him early every SEC start since like you said he only has 27 walks and guys are hitting 191 against him?

I'm sure you'll say a lot of strikeouts equals more pitches but if he is indeed ahead of so many hitters then his pitch count would still not be creeping 100 pitches in the 5th/6th every SEC start.

 

[muddawgs]

Yeah because pitchers who fall behind regularly have great opponent batting averages against and low walk ratio to strikeouts. I stand by my your a dumbass statement

 

[Joe Mayo]

Haha he has 20 walks in 43 innings in SEC games coming into tonight and added to that with this performance. You call that a low number of walks?

Like I said he falls behind on a lot of hitters and has terrible pitch counts by the 5th/6th every game in conference play.

 

[whosyourdawgy]

It seems Pilk always seems to get ahead in the count and then wastes way too many damn pitches out of the zone and ends up full counts and that makes his pitch count get high way too soon.
