It's a better line-up-but still has Robson in the wrong place. He does have the guys he needs in there though

[Smitty]

Brown
Vickerson
Robson
Hump
Collins
Rea
Gridley
Holland
Heck

[msstate7]

I'd like to see Michael smith get a shot

[I seen it dawg]

C34 totally agree on the line up bullshit. You can't ever get comfortable not knowing where you are hitting everyday or even playing. It's ****ing stupid.

[I seen it dawg]

I like the people in the lineup but the top is all jacked up.

Heck
Robson
Collins
Brown
Hump
Rea
Holland
Gridley
Vickerson

Every damn day. Or sit Vick, put Hump back in OF as sick as that is and hit Rooker if throwing a lefty. It's not hard.

I'd prefer Vick up high because he is one of our best hitters this year- but what you posted is basically the same idea. A traditional line-up. Go with it and just let them play for awhile. Only bunt in the 8th or 9th and let's see what they can do for a couple of weeks.

[Irondawg]

I just don't get any rational reason Robson should bat 3rd or 4th and we've done that more than a few times. Can somebody even attempt to explain the rationale?

[Smitty]

If he's going to be in the first 5, 3rd is where you want him. Comes up with 2 outs and nobody on more.

aye yi yi...dont get me started. I've stayed out of it this year so far- but I'm getting close to letting loose

I'm not a huge fan of Vickerson but he is doing enough to stay in the lineup. I don't like cramming all the leftys up top. Put an experienced guy in the 9 as another leadoff. And it splits all the leftys up for bullpens. And putting Brown between our 2 power guys for the same reason and he has some pop. That is of course we can get a run and it would matter.

I'd adjust against LHP's some- but Vick is hitting .350.

Good luck. He officially went to Goat baseball status with the whole 2 strike thing for me. He's not even worthy of really getting into an in depth discussion with about baseball.

[I seen it dawg]

Has anybody gotten any word on why the switch with Grid and Heck?

[I seen it dawg]

Unreal. First pitch of the game in left batters box. Comes back to get a fly out. 1 down.

[I seen it dawg]

2 down fly out to Robson.

[I seen it dawg]

8 pitch inning nice work. Fly out to right. 0-0 to bottom of 1

[I seen it dawg]

Good god just switch Brown and Robson. So dumb.

[I seen it dawg]

Rollover groundball to first by Briwn. 1 down. Vick up

[I seen it dawg]

Third baseman up in the grass....vick tries to bunt to him for a hit. Foul ball

[I seen it dawg]

Good ab for a walk after the dumbass bunt for a hit try to a 3b up in the grass. Robson up

[I seen it dawg]

This pitcher is terrible.

[I seen it dawg]

Walk to Robson

[I seen it dawg]

Now time for Hump to do some damage. Need a good AB here 1st and 2nd 1 out

[I seen it dawg]

Once again this pitcher is terrible. Zero reason we shouldn't run this guy by the 3rd.

[I seen it dawg]

Reid has to crush that 2-0 fastball after a visit.

[I seen it dawg]

Damn Reid can't foul off those 2 fastballs down the middle as the clean up guy. Those are mistakes that have to be taken advantage of. 3-2 count.

[I seen it dawg]

Routing fly out to center 2 down. Come on Collins

[I seen it dawg]

Good ab for Collins with a walk. Rea up with 2 outs bases juiced. Pitch count at 34

[Smitty]

29 in a row.

[I seen it dawg]

****. Ground ball to short. Leaves em juiced. 0-0 to T2

[msstate7]

Who would've imagined rea ends the rally?! 0-0 going to 2nd

[Coach34]

Got what he was looking for- got to do something better with it

[msstate7]

Got what he was looking for- got to do something better with it

I hate rea hitting balls on the ground. If there's a runner on 1st with less than 2 outs, it's an automatic dp

[I seen it dawg]

Great sequence by Tatum. K looking

[I seen it dawg]

Fly out to right 2 down

[coastratdog]

Is there audio other than hailstate.com?

[deltadawg99]

Their pitcher walks 2 out of 3 and he swings at the first pitch.

Rea = unclutch and overrated

[Coach34]

105.9 the zone probably

[I seen it dawg]

Nice play. Y Rea on throw from Gridley from a backhand play. He was safe but good play all the way around another 8 pitch inning by Tatum. He's pounding the zone with all his pitches so far. B2 0-0

[Coach34]

Their pitcher walks 2 out of 3 and he swings at the first pitch.

Rea = unclutch and overrated

meh- some people say take till you get a strike there- but Rea got his pitch. He just didnt do what he needed to with it.

[I seen it dawg]

Lol he was safe by a step and a half. Terrible

[I seen it dawg]

Good pitch for strike 3. K looking by Gridley

[Smitty]

WE SCORED!!!!!!!

[Coach34]

Gridley is a 9-hole to me

[msstate7]

Lol he was safe by a step and a half. Terrible

Umps feel sorry for us after watching us all weekend

[I seen it dawg]

Hollamd with a Bomb

[BulldogBear]

HFS. A homerun. Why didn't we bunt our way to ending the streak?***

[Coach34]

nice lick Holland

[Smitty]

Heck ropes one

9 hole

[coastratdog]

A HR. I can't believe it.

[msstate7]

If holland can get it going, it would help us tremendously.

[I seen it dawg]

Heck with a single. Need to keep pressure on this plug

[I seen it dawg]

Hit and run on first pitch. Ball in turf 0-1 to brown

[I seen it dawg]

Piss rod to right for out 2. This guy is done. He wasn't fooling anybody. To the pen.

[I seen it dawg]

This is why I don't like the 3 leftys together at top of order.

[I seen it dawg]

Good job going the other way but SS hoses Vick deep from the hole nice play. 1-0

[I seen it dawg]

Nice play by Holland up the middle for 1 down.

[Smitty]

1-1

[msstate7]

5th at bat of year = hr

[I seen it dawg]

Collins does a nice job working behind the plate. Much improved on the little things this year.

[I seen it dawg]

**** Tatum. Give it right back. I just don't get our pitchers and how we are so mentally weak. Got to make pitches throughout the ENTIRE ab. Behind in count to the first 2 guys and 2nd one homers. Butch has to do a better job drilling it into guys about focus. Because ours is shit on the bump after we score.

[I seen it dawg]

Bottom of 3 1-1

[Smitty]

Robson K

[I seen it dawg]

Robson looks like dogshit on strike 3. 1 down

[I seen it dawg]

Come on Hump stop being so loopy on fastballs. Fouling them off instead of squaring them. Ball 4

[I seen it dawg]

Back to the pen for Auburn. Collins up Hump on 1b

[I seen it dawg]

Come on Gavin

[I seen it dawg]

Good job by Hump on a cue shit to 2nd to stay out of 2. Collins on 1b 2 down. Rea up

[msstate7]

Rea's killing it

[Smitty]

Leadoff BB

[I seen it dawg]

Gay ****** ass pop up to right to end it. That was the most pussiefied swing I've seen this season. **** this staff they can all go. Auburn has used 3 pitchers thru 3 innings and we have one ****ing run on a homer.

You know it's one thing to be a dick and players not like you if you put players in position to succeed and you coach them up. It's another if you don't do any of that and you are still a dick. If that's the case you can go.

1-1 top 4

[I seen it dawg]

Once again we can't focus on the mound and walk the leadoff hitter. **** you Butch go take a D2 job somewhere. It's why you haven't left because you are ****ing overrated.

1 on no out.

[msstate7]

Leadoff BB

Only question here is will it just be 1 run

[I seen it dawg]

I'm officially on the get rid of the whole staff train. If this is what we are going to do day after day then we need somebody better. And there are guys out there.

[I seen it dawg]

Throw the ball over the ****ing plate!!!!!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Wow a strike and we get an out. Fly out to center.

[I seen it dawg]

Nice pick by Tatum. 2 down

[msstate7]

Let's get a crooked number

[I seen it dawg]

Rocket to Heck for out 3. B4 1-1

[I seen it dawg]

These players look like they hate coming to the ballpark everyday. Our staff needs to figure out how to get some life into this team. It's there job and they aren't doing it among other things.

[War Machine Dawg]

http://i.imgur.com/cuCPKY3.gif

[I seen it dawg]

That was just a lay the bat on it don't strike out swing. Rather you swing and miss hard Gridley. 1 out

[I seen it dawg]

If single for Holland. Dumbass play by 1B. 1 oit

[Treemydawg]

Just how many runners have already stranded through 4 innings?

[I seen it dawg]

Tatum walks guy on strike 3. Runners on 1&2 1 out

[I seen it dawg]

Bunt to Rea 2 out

[Smitty]

Wow the crowd is loudly yelling at Cohen for going to Fitts here 0-2 count.

That's NEVER happened here lately. Boos, yells, etc.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Can someone explain to me why we're pulling Tatum for Fitts in the fifth inning?

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf. This is betting stupid. Tatum headed up tunnel in dugout probably destryin fiture. Tatum is our best prob with 0-2 and 2 out and you bring in this shit. ****ing horrible with 70 pitches. Tatum effectively cruising and do this. **** you Butch and Cohen. You've lost me. You're ****ing stupid. Please resign all of you.

[msstate7]

Can someone explain to me why we're pulling Tatum for Fitts in the fifth inning?
Trying to keep the losing streak alive?

[I seen it dawg]

And now Fitts goes 3-2

[I seen it dawg]

Now up to 6 pitches trying to make one. Stupid

[msstate7]

Not a fan of the switch, but good job fitts

[I seen it dawg]

Groundout to Grid luckily. 1-1 to B5th and now it's up to our bullpen.

[Smitty]

We aren't losing Robson to the draft, Todd

[I seen it dawg]

Judy to short for Vock for 1 and Robson 12 hopper to short for out 2

[msstate7]

We aren't losing Robson to the draft, Todd

I don't know why any of our junior or seniors would be drafted

[I seen it dawg]

Pop up to short by Himp,for 3. Great inning

[Original48]

and now it's up to our bullpen.
And that's why you don't pull Tatum. 65 pitches...and our hottest pitcher. Now we turn it over to the worst bullpen in the league. Over. Managing.

[I seen it dawg]

everybody on this roster except for maybe Tatum and Sexton better get their damn degrees and ready for the real world. Nobody else is a pro player.

[Drugdog]

And that's why you don't pull Tatum. 65 pitches...and our hottest pitcher. Now we turn it over to the worst bullpen in the league. Over. Managing.

He is so self absorbed. He thinks he is sooooo much smarter than anyone else....

It's absolutely moronic.

[I seen it dawg]

Auburn is horrible

[Smitty]

Good inning Trevor

[I seen it dawg]

Nice job by Fotts to go 1--3. Threw a lot of fastballs.

[msstate7]

Good inning Trevor

Yep

[BulldogBear]

Over. Managing.
Plus (insert large #)!!!!

Just the pet peeve discussed in another recent thread.

[I seen it dawg]

Well Bart it's because both teams ****ing suck

[I seen it dawg]

Collins with. Single

[Smitty]

Fat boy!!

Surprised we didn't bunt!

[I seen it dawg]

Boy that's prepared to hit. Nuked a mid 80s fastball by Rea on first pitch. If he hit it it would have been a pop up to 2nd

[msstate7]

Atta boy rea

[JohnnyQuid]

Wes sighting

[I seen it dawg]

Rea redeems himself with a rocket to center. 2-1 Rea at third no out

[I seen it dawg]

Squeeze

[Smitty]

Hey don't look now!

3-1

Need the big innings with our pen

[Smitty]

Squeeze

Wow that's not even close to smart

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy Grid. Aggressive cut for single up middle 3-1

[I seen it dawg]

Wow that's not even close to smart

It was a prediction not what I thought we should do asswipe. But nice try

[I seen it dawg]

Fly out by holland. 1 out.

[Smitty]

It was a prediction not what I thought we should do asswipe. But nice try

Not what you said. Can't walk it back now.

[Smitty]

Cohen matchups

Rooker PH for Brown.

[I seen it dawg]

Not what you said. Can't walk it back now.

Lol whatever. Back to your computer games

[I seen it dawg]

I don't like losing Cody here

[Smitty]

Rooker walks

[I seen it dawg]

Swing at a 1-0 ****ing curveball. Jesus

[I seen it dawg]

Rooker walks

Still don't like it. Now we are getting deep into OF bench with a lot of time left. Cody does fine against leftys not enough reward for me there. I stay with Brown and take my chances. He's too important to keep on the field. He should never be pinch hit for.

[I seen it dawg]

Vickerson rolls over one to first. Good inning getting 2. Leave 2. To 7th up 3-1

[I seen it dawg]

Smith in for Brown in left

[I seen it dawg]

Catch the ****ing ball Rea. 1 out single

[Smitty]

Smith in for Brown in left

Damn hoping he could hit for Robson

[I seen it dawg]

2 down

[Smitty]

Fitts K ends the frame

[I seen it dawg]

Nice job by Fitts since he has come in. It's beacuse he is using his fastball instead of throwing 7/8 curveballs.

[Smitty]

Robson 2-18 last 20 AB.....

[I seen it dawg]

And again here's where our lineup construction is terrible. They've been able to match lefty for 3 straight hitters then go righty for 4 straight. Terrible lineup

[I seen it dawg]

Robson 2-18 last 20 AB.....

He's been shitty but you can choose about 6-7 other guys in the lineup as well. Don't cherry pick on Robson and not say shit about your boy Heck. Go back to your serf dolls

[I seen it dawg]

3 down as Collons grounds out to 3rd. 3-1 us

[I seen it dawg]

Fitts pounding the zone. Totally different guy than at any time this year.

[I seen it dawg]

Nice hands by Holland for 2nd out then fly out for 3. B8 up 3-1. Fitts doing a great job.

[I seen it dawg]

Rea hits a mistake fastball for a single. Hump needs to learn how to do that.

[Smitty]

Bunt fails.

Down 0-2 in the count.

[Smitty]

Grid K after Buntfails.

Happens a lot, John.

[I seen it dawg]

Grid Ks 1 out

[Smitty]

Holland says screw Cohen approach today. Swinging hard.

[I seen it dawg]

Hopefully Heck starting to get normal again

2 weeks of hitting at-em balls is not a slump. Tried to say this. a .300 hitter does not go 1-3 every game.

[I seen it dawg]

Damn pop up with bases juiced by Smith. In Codys spot. Fn stupid

[JohnnyQuid]

This. Was thinking what a good move that pinch hit was earlier.**

[I seen it dawg]

2 weeks of hitting at-em balls is not a slump.

No one called it a slump. Although 2 weeks of at em balls with nothing to show for it is a damn slump if you've ever played. Whether it's bad luck or not if you can't get shit for 2 weeks it's a slump. You're so ****ing stupid.

[Smitty]

Cohen will take this as "look out bullpen is back" and play more small ball to try and win 3-2 types.

[I seen it dawg]

This. Was thinking what a good move that pinch hit was earlier.**

Yep why I was so pissed about it. The reward at the time was limited. That spot was a blow the game open spot but we have to hot Smith. Terrible decision.

[I seen it dawg]

Nice play Seth. 1 down.

[msstate7]

Cohen will take this as "look out bullpen is back" and play more small ball to try and win 3-2 types.

I don't know how cohen will look at it, but I'm thrilled fitts is pitching so well

Slumps aren't determined by numbers. You cannot comprehend this. You're the one focused on the numbers. You don't understand how it works. Lot of luck in baseball on batted balls. Especially when dealing with two ****ing weeks. Moron.

2 week "slump".... Biggest nonsense I've ever heard.

[I seen it dawg]

Cohen will take this as "look out bullpen is back" and play more small ball to try and win 3-2 types.

We haven't small balled in 2 weeks. We just can't hit water if we fell out of a ****ing boat. That's from the movie Bull Durham. You could learn a lot of baseball from it go watch it.

How bout a ****ing score update, I seen it??!!*

Just kidding, but what's the damn score?

[dawgoneyall]

We're back.

[Tbonewannabe]

3-1 win. Streak is over

[I seen it dawg]

Great outing by Fitts. We needed that badly. Hopefully he's on the road to being productive. And Holland getting hot and Seth swinging it and finding holes again.

Still terrible lineup and brutal decision to hit Rooker for Brown in the 6th. We really needed Cody to hit in the 8th with bases loaded and 1 out. Did enough to win though. Horrible wkd though only getting one game from these shitbags.

[I seen it dawg]

We haven't small balled in 2 weeks..

I can't remember, did we play a 1st inning yesterday. 2 bunts. Sac and a cleanup drag. No? Guess not.

3 runs = offensive explosion for this team. But its nice to actually get a win.

[I seen it dawg]

I can't remember, did we play a 1st inning yesterday. 2 bunts. Sac and a cleanup drag. No? Guess not.

We have consistently not done it for 2 weeks. He backslid yesterday and did it. It's been totally different in the amount we've done it the last 2 weeks. Meaning we haven't been "playing" small ball. Stop abusing those serf dolls. They didn't do anything to you.
