Bases loaded

Is that the 3rd time left field has left bases loaded tonight?

 

[Philly Dawg]

Indeed it is.

Too many analytics in the decision making.

Cumbest ties the game and instead of hoping he builds on his confidence, he gets pinch hit for strictly because it’s a right handed pitcher. Skinner has done nothing lately to merit that.

More analytics for you: A&M has won the series in Starkville in 2014, 2016, and 2018. Didn’t play in 2020.

I doubt there is much analytics involved in that call. That is just a pure not wanting a right on right matchup, especially when that right handed pitcher is a sub guy. Very difficult for a right handed batter to hit that. You’d like to think we have a better left handed bat but I’m not sure we do.

^^^ exactly. Cumbest’s AB would’ve likely looked about like Leggett’s went the next inning against that guy.
