Arky game, Pine Bluff version

[parabrave]

Fristoe starting.

[TNDawg35]

Excellent 1st from Fristoe. Pounded the zone at 92-93. Ground out, ground out, single, and swinging k…

[smootness]

McGowan in the lineup for Clark, and everybody at the top shifted up one spot.

James leading off, then Hancock, Tanner, and Hines.

[PMDawg]

I really like Hunter Hines so far. He's a mature batter to be a Freshman.

[smootness]

Tanner single, Hines walk, Yeager single to score Tanner in the 1st.

[smootness]

Corder single and error scores Hines.

[smootness]

Cumbest single scores Yeager, 3-0.

[parabrave]

Well We just got an answer on a RBI question from Sunday. When a runner scores on an error there is no RBI awarded to the batter/

[Homedawg]

Corder single and error scores Hines.

If they gave corder a hit they are crazy.

[Homedawg]

Well We just got an answer on a RBI question from Sunday. When a runner scores on an error there is no RBI awarded to the batter/

No we didn't. If it scores on an error it's not an rbi. Corder's hits were a. 2 run hr and a single that scored one. He should have 3 rbis on the season. The stats are wrong.

[smootness]

I didn't see it, but the Gamecast at least lists a hit and then advancing on an error. But they listed it as an unearned run, which confused me since the runner was on 3rd. So if it was a hit, you'd think that run would still be earned.

[smootness]

Now 6-0. 2-run single by Forsythe, then James HBP, then a balk scored another run. And now a Hancock 2-run single, 8-0.

It's APB, but still nice to keep the offense rolling from Sunday.

[parabrave]

No we didn't. If it scores on an error it's not an rbi. Corder's hits were a. 2 run hr and a single that scored one. He should have 3 rbis on the season. The stats are wrong.

Not according to Polk/ He said that after their 2nd basemen bobbled the ball.

[parabrave]

Now 6-0. 2-run single by Forsythe, then James HBP, then a balk scored another run. And now a Hancock RBI single, 7-0.

It's APB, but still nice to keep the offense rolling from Sunday.

How many times do you see the game get out of hand when there is an error with 2 outs.

[Homedawg]

I didn't see it, but the Gamecast at least lists a hit and then advancing on an error. But they listed it as an unearned run, which confused me since the runner was on 3rd. So if it was a hit, you'd think that run would still be earned.

Yeah it was a routine gb. Bart says they gave it an error as they should have. Even cumbest got lucky they did give him a hit. Could go as an error. The guy patted his glove several times

[smootness]

They finally pulled their SP, rough outing there. 0.2 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, 2 HBP, 1 balk, and a wild pitch. 8 runs but only 1 earned LOL

[TNDawg35]

We need some gap shots or bombs this game. I want baseballs hammered somewhere..

[Homedawg]

Not according to Polk/ He said that after their 2nd basemen bobbled the ball.

Corder wouldn't get an rbi today correct. That has nothing to do w this weekend. Nobody scored this weekend when he reached on an error. He had a 2 run hr and an rbi single. How the runners reach before hand has zero to do with it.

[TNDawg35]

Really like what Fristoe has done the 1st two innings. 18 pitches, pounding the zone with 3 pitches. Really like to see that from him.

[Homedawg]

Fristoe is in the zone. That's good. Assuming the tv gun is correct hes 91 mostly. Slider has been left up a few times. But he's not all over the place.

[Cowbell]

Fristoe is in the zone. That's good. Assuming the tv gun is correct hes 91 mostly. Slider has been left up a few times. But he's not all over the place.

This could be huge for us if he can be consistent - huge.

[Saltydog]

Fristoe is in the zone. That's good. Assuming the tv gun is correct hes 91 mostly. Slider has been left up a few times. But he's not all over the place.

I think he must've been over throwing last year because he was fairly consistent 92-94.........Sounds like me may be down in velo a little but I'll take that and accuracy all day long........

[R2Dawg]

Fristoe can be a weekend guy or a weapon from the pen. We need him to be another solid guy to make any kind of run.

[Homedawg]

I think he must've been over throwing last year because he was fairly consistent 92-94.........Sounds like me may be down in velo a little but I'll take that and accuracy all day long........

It looks to me that it's intentional... as in he's backing off a touch. He hasn't sniffed 94. But 91 in the zone is better than ball one ball two

[TNDawg35]

9-0 State after 2. Forsythe strikeouts to end it after a McGowan rbi single.

[TNDawg35]

Jess Davis in LF, Leggett at SS, and Davis Meche now in at 2nd.

[TNDawg35]

Fristoe Ks the side. Still just 30 pitches through 3. Sat at 90-91 and touched 92 a couple times on tv.

[I seen it dawg]

The difference in Fristoe is he’s not taking a slow lap around the mound between every pitch. He finally is pitching with tempo and not dicking around. Get the ball back get on the mound and throw it. Stop wasting time.

[smootness]

If Fristoe could be our Sunday guy and reliable in that spot, it would really set our weekend rotation up well and allow us to keep Preston Johnson in the pen, which would be massive.

[TNDawg35]

After 3, 12-0 State. We only have 7 hits and I bet 3-4 have been infield singles including 2 that shouldn’t be hits. Clark gets an at bat and flys out. He is now 0-9.

Jess Davis grounded to short and beat it out. He looks dang fast.

[TNDawg35]

Kellum Clark now in RF, Skinner in CF and Alford at 3rd.

[TNDawg35]

Fristoe give up a solo shot and a single, but that’s it. Touched 93 that inning. 12-1 State. APB now has more XBH than us in this game, yet we have a 11 run lead…

[I seen it dawg]

I wish we would give leggett a true shot at SS. He’s defends himself much better at the plate and he’s not that much if any downgrade on defense. Brings juice that forsythe doesn’t have.

[I seen it dawg]

Fristoe needs some movement on his fastball. He’s flat. But it’s night and day better than last year.

[TNDawg35]

After 4, 12-1 State.

The pitcher for APB is throwing a curveball at 61mph and a fastball at 70. We were WAY out in front. Alford got an at bat and walked

Walling now in to pitch…

[I seen it dawg]

I dont know where it’s going...swear to god

[TNDawg35]

Walling struggling. Walks first 2 batters on 10 pitches… at 95mph… We have a new Cerentola…

[KOdawg1]

Welp, we've got a left handed Eric Cerantola

[KOdawg1]

92 mph is plenty with Fristoe's spin rate. Good outing for him.

[TNDawg35]

Walling settles down. 2 ground balls gets us out of it. 12-1 going bottom 5.

[Really Clark?]

I dont know where it’s going...swear to god

Haha...love it

Settled down, eased off and got out of it on a couple of pitches. Give him another inning

[I seen it dawg]

Walling doesn’t have cerentola shitty body language

[parabrave]

Yard for Leggett

[TNDawg35]

Who had Tanner Legget leading us in HR?

[KOdawg1]

Okay, so Leggett....

Could he legit take over at SS? Dude is launching the ball.

[PMDawg]

I wish we would give leggett a true shot at SS. He?s defends himself much better at the plate and he?s not that much if any downgrade on defense. Brings juice that forsythe doesn?t have.

I'm all for getting Leggett in more, especially at the plate, but Forsythe is an MLB caliber SS (defensively). He has to stay there. He's a difference maker.

[Percho]

Anybody remember Skinner's first AB as a Bulldog?

[KOdawg1]

Anybody remember Skinner's first AB as a Bulldog?

Wasn't it when he pissed slapped it in Baton Rouge?

[FISHDAWG]

I'm all for getting Leggett in more, especially at the plate, but Forsythe is an MLB caliber SS (defensively). He has to stay there. He's a difference maker.

I hear you but Leggett is leading the team in home runs ... go figure

[Really Clark?]

Hate the strikeout but I don't know what Skinner could have done with that pitch. That was a tough one

[PMDawg]

I hear you but Leggett is leading the team in home runs ... go figure

Yeah, I hear you. It's only 4 games, but he's seeing the ball. Maybe he can take over for Clark. lol Or Skinner.

[Percho]

Wasn't it when he pissed slapped it in Baton Rouge?

I was thinking against LSU so I guess so.

[TNDawg35]

Clark smashes one right at the 2B and Davis gets doubled off first. After 5 13-1 State.

[FISHDAWG]

Who had Tanner Legget leading us in HR?

actually I did ... but family is supposed to know that

[Homedawg]

I'm all for getting Leggett in more, especially at the plate, but Forsythe is an MLB caliber SS (defensively). He has to stay there. He's a difference maker.

It's not like Legget is an offensive weapon either. Is he better than lane up there? Yeah but his avg won't be much better. And you give up too much defensively. But he's got a place to help us for sure

[Commercecomet24]

Walling has good stuff but he has absolutely no idea where the ball is going when it leaves his hand. If he can find it he sure would help a bunch.

[TNDawg35]

Walling down after walking first batter. Pick Kohn in now.

[KOdawg1]

Great play by Leggett...

[Homedawg]

And leggett just made a big time play in the hole...

[KOdawg1]

And leggett just made a big time play in the hole...
Hmmmm... think there's a chance he could beat out Forsythe?

[shoeless joe]

Pico looks like Dottie Henson

[KOdawg1]

I like Pico. He'll be a good weekend starter next year

[PMDawg]

Leggett making me wonder. LOL

[TNDawg35]

Excellent play by Leggett. APB brings in another lefty who couldn’t break an egg…

[TNDawg35]

Davis Meche goes yard. 14-1 State. He crushed that ball…

[KOdawg1]

Our little dudes are mashing!

Leggett has 2 and now Meche has a HR

[magrooder]

Meche with a homer. I'd like to see him play against a little better talent to see what he can do.

[parabrave]

Well if we ever get there a 10 run rule after 7 is in effect according to Polk/

[KOdawg1]

RBI doubke for Leggett. This dude is making a strong ass case to take Lane's job

[Commercecomet24]

Pico looks like Dottie Henson

LOL!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to shoeless joe again.

[TNDawg35]

17-1 State. Going top 7. APB has to score 7 to keep playing.

Clark now 0-10 after fly out to CF. Finally some good hard hit balls that inning.

I really wanna see Alford lay into one. Dude looks like he can send one a long LONG way…

[Cowbell]

I'm all for getting Leggett in more, especially at the plate, but Forsythe is an MLB caliber SS (defensively). He has to stay there. He's a difference maker.
But he will never make the league batting the way he does now. I swear it reminds me of watching Little League baseball when he's up there.

[KOdawg1]

If you didn't think Leggett could handle SS, you could move Yeager to SS and plug Leggett at 2B. A couple of options for sure, but if Leggett keeps hitting like this, I don't think you can keep him out of the lineup.

[KOdawg1]

Pico's CB is nasty

[R2Dawg]

If you didn't think Leggett could handle SS, you could move Yeager to SS and plug Leggett at 2B. A couple of options for sure, but if Leggett keeps hitting like this, I don't think you can keep him out of the lineup.

Agree, Leggett is gonna push. KC is also going to get pushed out.

We have some good young talent added to this team. As expected, we ain't rebuilding we are reloading.

[parabrave]

17-1 final

[StarkVegasSteve]

Lane better start absolutely raking because Leggett needs to be playing somewhere the way he is swinging it. I know it is early but at this point, especially with how our offense struggled last weekend, Leggett is too good of a bat to keep out of the lineup.

[Homedawg]

Hmmmm... think there's a chance he could beat out Forsythe?

No

[Duckdog]

Lets not get too crazy. PB last three pitchers couldn't throw over 75. My son(a freshman at state) text earlier he was going to tryout there that his baseball career isn't over hahahahahaha

[Saltydog]

If Pico Kohn can harness that breaking ball it's unhittable. Great bite on it. He's going to be a terror on LH hitters.

[KOdawg1]

If Pico Kohn can harness that breaking ball it's unhittable. Great bite on it. He's going to be a terror on LH hitters.

When he puts on a little muscle and adds some velo on that fastball, he'll be even more unhittable. I really like him. He was an absolute steal for us.

[Commercecomet24]

Lets not get too crazy. PB last three pitchers couldn't throw over 75. My son(a freshman at state) text earlier he was going to tryout there that his baseball career isn't over hahahahahaha

This. I can tell you right now there's way better pitching in Mississippi jucos than what we faced from pine bluff today.

[parabrave]

Good game got good hits and more importantly got Fristoe some quality innings and got some younger pitchers some work in. Game might be still going on if ir wasn't for their 2nd baseman bobbling the ball.

[Really Clark?]

This. I can tell you right now there's way better pitching in Mississippi jucos than what we faced from pine bluff today.

There are a couple of HS with better 2-3 pitchers than APB

[Commercecomet24]

There are a couple of HS with better 2-3 pitchers than APB

Yeah this is true as well. I see a lot of them.

[HoopsDawg]

It's not like Legget is an offensive weapon either. Is he better than lane up there? Yeah but his avg won't be much better. And you give up too much defensively. But he's got a place to help us for sure

I don't think we would be giving up much defensively. In fact, I'm not sure Forsythe makes both of those plays in the 6 hole.

[OLJWales]

Can't believe as I'm reading about APB pitching and feeling sorry for them.

[RougeDawg]

Was Pine Bluff the program that was considering shutting down this year due to money issues? Could be someone else. NHT Maybe their better players bolted if that is the case.

[BiscuitEater]

Anybody remember Skinner's first AB as a Bulldog?

Last year .. he went yard .. to beat LSU!

[Duckdog]

There are a couple of HS with better 2-3 pitchers than APB

Shit I coach class b baseball in La and we see better pitching than what was on the mound today

[Coach34]

My 5 SP's from my good 2004 HS team were better than what APB ran out there today- yes all 5. Shit, I was better than that.

It's good we got to clear the bench today but We dont need to play but a couple of those games per season. That bunch wouldnt win many playing in the juco league
