Let's hear it

41 BB in 64 innings is pretty bad. So is 9 HBP. Sounds like he's got good stuff with the Ks but is wild. We need to take pitches, get walks and HBP and timely hits. We can put a big inning on this kid if he starts walking us.

He’s a midweek guy so his numbers are skewed even further. True freshman vs redshirt sophomore advantage us. They absolutely have to have him go deep into the game. Gotta get to him early.

This!! Be very patient. Don’t chase?

Okay...so who would be available in their bullpen that we have to worry about? They only used 2 pitchers yesterday (1 starter, 1 bullpen) so does that mean everyone else is available?

Problem is we don't walk. We're dead last in sec at drawing walks

I would assume so. But the reliever yesterday was supposedly their best one. Which is stupid on Casey's part. They also have a stud closer. Let's hope we don't see him

I think they go with the pedophile first out of the gate if this kid gets in trouble. Their pen is on fumes though. Their best reliever they pitched yesterday which I thought was dumb as hell.

Rowdy and T Allen both looked overmatched yesterday, they have to sit dead red fastball only and let it rip. When they hit, we seem to all hit and win. Let’s go Dogs!

We've had two 8 run innings in post season play. I bet we took some walks in those innings. We can put up a crooked number when we don't bunt and the pitcher gets wild.

Have to be disciplined at the plate tonight. Small has to get ahead in counts where he can use his off speed stuff.
