Not Bednar’s best start but he was fine. Got us thru 6 innings with a lead.

It’s time for our bats to break this open. Their pitching has not been good and we’ve let them stay in the game somehow.

Sooner or later these rips we hit right on the nose but right at someone have to start falling. It's not like we are striking out.

Seems like the story of the season with our lineup. We’ve got a very precise formula for making average pitchers look great, and it include a nice mix of pop ups, hard hits right at the defense, and dribblers to the corners.

Sanford just brought in a freshman reliever with a 5.58 ERA and I thought to myself... well, we may have already seen our last hit of the game

More than 6

It kinda feels like we're playing with fire

Good gosh, that was almost an absolute disaster at 2nd. Mark that down as another chapter in the book of unforced defensive miscues that CANNOT HAPPEN

Squeezed absolutely as much as possible out of him.

Can't complain about his performance. Just the solo shot then 2 in his one tough inning.

Samford boys love to ***** at the ump. Portly goes yard on an awful fastball I could have hit.

To be fair, those were bad calls.

But jawing at the ump is only going to make things worse.

Kellum Clark is going to be really good. He's already one of our best hitters.

Kinda wish we’d let Cerantola pitch the ninth inning here. Just give him a short leash.

Lemonis absolutely made the right call starting Bednar. I could easily have seen Samford lighting up one of our lesser pitchers. Hit 3 bombs off Bednar and PJohnson. Very fortunate they were all solo shots.
