2-0 True Maroon..

*mind blown*

M1. TAM error to thank. Holland drives in 2.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Just think

a couple of weeks ago, everyone wanted to bench Holland.

 

[57stratdawg]

Collins needs to improve defensively too if he's going to C full time.

 

[Hammer Down]

Time to move Tatum back to the pen. Never should have been starting to begin with. Sexton starts, and we fill a hole in the bullpen. Win/Win. We only have 2 midweek games left anyway, role the dice with Daniel Brown again, or use Dakota Hudson and see what he can do. Let them get experience.

 

[57stratdawg]

3-4 Ags after 2. We brought in a pitch I've never heard of to get us out of jam, and he gave up a couple runners.

 

[patdog]

At this point, I'm OK with taking a chance on a pitcher we've never heard of than running one of the relievers we do know about back out there. Looks like he's settled down and doing OK though. But damn. 9 hits and only 3 runs in 3+ innings. Could we be any more small ball?

 

[rugbdawg]

That Robson bunt call may be the dumbest in Cohen's career.

That's saying a lot. Pitcher can't get guys out and we give him one. Just unbelievable.

I thought not pinch hitting hump for smith with bases loaded was much dumber

 

[mcdawg22]

Both calls are strong contenders.

 

[patdog]

If he should have pinch hit for Smith this early in the game, he should have never started him in the first place.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

There goes the series. Grand slam

 

[patdog]

Yep. But we got 1 and were competitive in 1 of the losses. That's about all we could realistically hope for.

Not so sure. If you pull Tatum after 1st guy reaches in 2nd in favor of sexton, we could've had a realistic shot today

 

[ronpolk]

This team does some weird stuff. Hudson comes strikes out the first 2 and then can't even get close to the strike zone. I'd be about ready to pull my hair out if I were Cohen

 

[8dog]

Best chance to get back in tounrey contention and we yanked one of our top hitters and didnt make available one of our best pitchers on 4 full days rest. Opting instead for a guy thats thrown 2 innings this year.

And of course we mixed in a nonsensical bunt.

 

[KurtRambis4]

To be

fair, the pitching calls are on Butch, not that I disagree that it was perplexing.

 

[8dog]

I dont disagree. The most aggravating part is that we would be top 50 - 60 rpi if we were trying at all when scheduling

 

[patdog]

Good point. Not sure why Sexton isn't the Sunday starter instead of Tatum to begin with, although with both you never know if the good one or the bad one is going to show up.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Which

brings up the question, who is in charge of scheduling, John or Nick? I wouldn't think Butch is, and I honestly don't think John is.

 

[patdog]

In Cohen's defense (and you know I'm not one to defend Cohen), he had us scheduled in a pretty good tournament in New Orleans when he pulled out of the Houston tournament so we wouldn't have 2 tough road weekends (which I would have been perfectly OK with us playing in both), then the New Orleans tournament fell through and he had to scramble to schedule Marshall & Bama A&M at the last minute. But there's no doubt he does a terrible job of scheduling overall. Mississippi is .500 overall and still very much in contention to play in a regional because of their OOC schedule. And I honestly think the schedule is the only difference between our 2 teams.

 

[8dog]

Technically dir of baseball ops butim not sure if he has sole authority

 

[121Josey]

To be fair, the pitching calls are on Butch, not that I disagree that it was perplexing.

Anyone paying attention to ST knew that he was going to make the roster.**

You've

seen the tapes?
