No way you put in Holder as early as they did. Let him pitch the ninth. Mitchell was getting them out and he has shown he can eat up some innings. Although I will say this, Lindgren/Woodruff will be special as pitchers.
As recently as yesterday, we have shown we can hit pitching mistakes. We had at least 4 balls hit the wall yesterday and almost go out. If the wind isn't blowing left to right, we probably have 2 or 3 HR's yesterday. I still think we will blow out Samford. I said 5-0 yesterday but since we are...
They only have two pitchers worth a crap....We can still win this regional no matter who we face. I was off by two runs on my prediction of displacing UAB but I still think we blank Samford tomorrow. We could have beaten them yesterday with disciplined hitting at the plate. That #2 pitcher they...
I thought Graveman was doing pretty well. Really quick hook but I can't blame Cohen.
His head wasn't in there at that time....you could tell. You leave him in the game UAB is up at least 1-0
This is just flat out not knowing what the heck you are doing. Swinging blatently at sliders, letting pitchers get off to pitcher counts, looking at fast balls going by. It is bad and I am not sure the best hitting coach could fix it. Just like hitting is contagious, not hitting is as well.
Our biggest problem today at the plate was patience. I think we still were too aggressive at the plate swinging at everything. The announcer was right. Had we not swung at anything that pitcher would have gotten himself in trouble. We swung at more balls today then I have ever seen us swing at...
We lose Tuesday so finally the dumpster fire will be over. I am not sure if I will watch it. After seeing us lose the way we did against Georgia (a team that on the next night lost 20+ to Vandy might I add), our season was over then. I can't wait until our season is mercifully over.
As we have found out in previous years unless you win your conference tournament, the committee doesn't care what you do in your tournament. They even said as much last year. Palm ONLY goes by RPI. It's guesswork at this point.
