And it all started with a walk......

What can you say?

Plumlee's ERA against SEC teams will be well over 5.00 tomorrow. We just don't have the horses in the pen this year.

Walks and errors will always kill a team.

The problem is leaving your 2 best arms in the pen with 2 innings to go. Bad coaching move.

We have been playing with fire all night. It was inevitable

We have been playing with fire all night. It was inevitable

I agree with this.

We played hard, we lost.

Its who we are. We walk people. We pitch from
behind in the count constantly. Its a hard recipe to win with

 

[Lpdawg]

Self was hit harder than Plumlee.

 

[Shamoan]

What really killed us is walking players earlier in the game (some of which were sacrificing) which caused the lineup to turn over. Walks, walks, walks...we need some filthy arms to come in next season. I'm not sure our record is significantly better with a full bullpen. 40 wins in the sec is an accomplishment in itself.

That is it in a nutshell.

Nor sure how anybody could count MSU out the way they grind.

I almost lost my mind when we walked the guy trying to give himself up. How many times did that happen? I recall once for sure. Maybe twice.

Pilkington gets himself into high pitch count situations

with early walks. In the 2nd or 3rd, he got two quick outs & then walked the next two which was at least 10-12 unnecessary pitches. You take away one of those walks & Pilkington probably finishes the game - at a minimum he goes one more inning & Self comes in for him

Pilkington walking the freaking guy trying to bunt killed me. Let him bunt. He's giving you an out. Instead you have runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Very dumb
