Lovelady inching his way down in the lineup. I like that bc it means guys are starting to hit
How long of a leash does billingsley get?
Game is on ESPNU today @1pm Central
As much as possible but everyone but Gordon should be ready. Can extend self and Price today.Quote:

Six consecutive balls and he should go, if he last six pitches, I'm good with thatQuote:

He had zero sign of Self coming in before usual
I'm not 100% sure Hendu and Canny want to win a lot of these games. The more they run Barton and Plumlee out of the pen, the more I think these coaches want to lose.Quote:

Not saying they won't learn from it, but all we have is previous results to base it on right now. I hope to see Self by 5th inning unless JB is having the game of his lifeQuote:

Mangum should be lighting it up ahead of Rooker, but due to his piss poor plate discipline he still gets nothing but breaking balls. With any discipline he would get tons of fastballs to crush. He's been disappointing this year to me...for his lack of adjusting.
Great inning, K's our best 3 hitters. Not a good sign
Nasty. That slider is filthy.
Slider is unhittable but it is a ball every time if we can just keep from swinging at it
We're going to get smoked today. At least we got 1 though
How many balls in the dirt did we swing at in the first?
Don't swing at the sliders and we will be okay. Key is to swing at his fastballs and only expect fastballs. The A&M pitcher is the same as JB. He didn't throw his slider for a strike but you go down 1-2 or 0-2 and your toast.
Why wouldn't you walk him to setup a double play ball? It was 3-0 count. Would have put runners at corners with 1 out. Instead, RBI SAC
They only got 1 in the first. It's going to take more then one run to win this game.Quote:

And again a walk or wild pitch helps lead to a run.
I like that strategy late in games, but not earlyQuote:

The way we swing at shit pitches, this guy may throw a no-hitter today. This plate discipline is pathetic
WTF are we swinging at? That breaking ball isn't that good.
It doesn't matter how we pitch today if we don't hit.
The balls we swing at aren't even close to the strike zone. Macnamee's at bat there was comical.
We are going to have to force him to strike us out looking a couple times cause he is only gonna throw balls till we make him throw strikes
What is the deal with our hitters? Shit...
The at bats that inning looked little league
swinging at that shit. NO plate discipline whatsoever. It's pathetic. If it's breaking, don't swing at it, period until he can show he can consistently throw it for a strike.
1 run will be enough, we swing at EVERYTHING. 5 K's through 2 innings....embarrassing bullshit
Whatever you are smoking pass it over. The team refuses to LOOK at anything.Quote:
