Right on schedule. Wild pitch runner on third...

[thekimmer]

We just cannot win for losing

 

[coach66]

Collins is certainly a good player but he

Needs to improve in this area.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Needs to improve in this area.

Nice K-K finish by Fitts. Team showing
lots of heart tonight. Great to see it.

 

[patdog]

His long-term future is not at catcher.

 

[Hammer Down]

I guess you missed where he gunned LSU fastest guy by 10 feet. Figures, seeing how you do not watch the games until the end. Or look at stats.

 

[Hammer Down]

Hahahahaha this is Collins slapping the sh*t out of patdog.

 

[coach66]

No issue with his arm, he has trouble

With breaking balls in the dirt.

 

[Hammer Down]

Well they cannot all be Mike Piazza.

 

[patdog]

Exactly. He'll wind up in RF in the minors.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

With breaking balls in the dirt.

What dirt??

 

[Hammer Down]

It is about time you stopped posting tonight.

 

[57stratdawg]

He actually improved quite a bit from last year.

 

[coach66]

Tough crowd tonight*

Can't blame Collins for that one. Cohen was 3 batters too late pulling Fitts from the game. Fitts deserved better.

 

[basedawg]

Exactly. He'll wind up in RF in the minors.

Hitting .219 want get you in right field in the minors. I realize he has been hurt but he hasn't produced at all at the plate.

 

[coach66]

Has he improved that much or is he just not seeing Holder and Lindgren?

Not sure if you were able to watch last night but he blocked up several balls off the turf, especially in extra innings when Fitts began to tire. He actually did a nice job.

 

[coach66]

I watched almost the entire game couldn't hang the last inning. Just giving my

opinion on what I think Collins needs to improve on defensively. I agree he had some nice stops last night but he also had a passed ball that put LSU in front. I think they ruled it a wild pitch but in that situation you have to find a way to block that ball up. If I compare the job LSU's catcher did with Collins then I think their catcher blocked up everything and made two critical plays at the plate and looked better defensively than Collins but Collins has the better arm and made two great throws last night.

Yep that was bad. Almost looked like he was looking for a different pitch. Last night it was pretty evident we need a few more dependable hitters. Lots of runners left on base this season.

 

[patdog]

I'm hoping .219 is an anomaly. He certainly hit better last year.
