Rubber match vs Auburn thread

Why don't we go ahead and go to Cole Gordon? He hasn't pitched all weekend and if we don't minimize the damage here we are going to be totally out of the game.

This is why games like Game 3 last week and Game 1 this weekend are so important. Because sometimes you have games where you just don't have it. You have to win every game you have a chance to win.

BABIP on ground balls in MLB is about .245 every year.

Auburn has to be at about .900 today

True but those balls have been blistered through the infield, they aren't dribbling through.

Price and Self are no longer SEC guys, Foxhall. Wtf?

Because White is our 8th inning guy and Gordon is our 9th inning guy and we don't entertain anything else.

Both are bad athletes. Their stuff was never sustainable anyway

Not sure the 8th and 9th are going to mean much today.

Either way, in MLB the batting average on ground balls is .246 every year.

Our pitching has been terrible but it's been poor luck as well

Well, maybe we got an out. It looked like he was out.

Yeah college infielders are just as good as mlb

The biggest problem I see with our bullpen is that we have very little uniqueness.

Price, Self, & Smith are essentially the same person. Leibelt is better, but again very similar.

If I was to blame our coaches for one thing, it's that they keep giving Auburn the same look. Put in a lefty or something to mix it up

Agree, but it's still bad luck. The college BABIP rate is likely around .280 or so

How many challenges do you get? I haven't seen Lemonis challenge an out call all year.

You are always the first to pile on. Never fails
