I wish Jack could be in the booth right now to tell Eli what to do with his mask while chain smoking a pack of camels

We have THAT kind of ump behind the plate. That strike out was over the batter box chalk, not the plate. He gave a high strike to the previous batter so the Bammer pitcher just needs to throw it somewhere around the plate.

He has a big zone but he's consistent and that's all you can ask for. Mac is benefiting from it too.

Eli wearing a mask


Why? You've either been vaccinated, in which case the CDC has clearly said there's no need to wear a mask except in certain very limited situations. Or you haven't been vaccinated, in which case why do you care enough to wear a mask when you don't care enough to get a lot more protection from the vaccine. And yet, we still have plenty of people wearing masks. It's a form of mental illness.

College baseball is better with a generous zone, IMO. These guys aren’t pros, they need the corners.

Things can really slow down with a tight zone, walks, pitching changes, etc.

Did Debrule’s chopper not hit the catcher before it crossed back into fair territory? Don’t see a ball ponded into the dirt just stick like that.

.

If he wants to wear a mask it certainly isn't hurting you. Why do you even care since you think it's useless? Yet he is mentally ill? For the record I'm fully vaxxed and have abandoned the mask in most situations. Do I care if people still wear them? Why should I? It makes no sense at all. I still wear it at times. I'm required to at work, no change over the last 30 years there.

First and Second with no outs, why not try to lay down a bunt and move them around? Instead, we get a pop-up.

Because you don't bunt with your slugging catcher hitting in the 3 hole.

I would normally give you that, but I don't see much slugging going on after Jordan and Allen. If we would have bunted there, Hancock's liner to center may have scored Jordan.

I think it was more of a bunt for hit than a sacrifice. Their 3B made a very good play.

If we lose 1-0 on that pop fly homer I’m gonna be pissed.

Either way, you have the runner in scoring position with one out, you have two chances to drive him home with something to the outfield, and you voluntarily give one of those chances up for the minimal gain of getting the runner to 3rd. And you set them up to get out of the inning with a DP ball even if it works out. Just not a good situational play there.

Because we love the hell out of two things

1) Making a 5.00 ERA guy look like Greg Maddux

and

2) Infield pop ups

That's right. Sometimes (not always, but sometimes) you have to read the room and play outside the standard logic.

I don’t mind it with a .230 hitter who is a pretty good runner.

Not with your best HR hitter and one of your hotter hitters. Never under any circumstance that will happen in that scenario.

It should in the 6t inning when you haven’t sniffed at scoring through 5 innings. I don’t care if it is Mark McGuire at the plate.

Sure, if you're rooting for Alabama. Maybe you haven't been watching games but LT has been one of our best in conference hitters.

One inning to many for Ross. He was having a good night. Should have gotten the hint from the previous inning.
