Apparently Apathy has set in for a 25-6 team Game 3 Thread

I don?t think Chance is a ?pressure? hitter. Yes, he has a couple of hits, but the 2 times today he came up in badly needed hits or getting on base today, he couldn?t pull the trigger. Batting 9th has very little pressure normally but look what happened last night when he came up in pressure situations needing RBI?s. He didn?t get it done. He is what he is. He can get on base in front of the top of the order but they have to bring him around. I think Wyers should have started in left and led off today, keeping Beans in the 9 spot. Hindsight and all that crap though. Yes. Reese probably needs to move out of the 2 hole, like someone said, probably 5. Just from the fans observations, the lefty righty thing hasn?t really proved itself through 12 SEC games. Check the BA. UGA didn?t even throw a lefty at us this weekend did they?

Also, UAB is pretty darn good this year. Tuesday is important!

You realize that he led off with a single, stole second with no outs, and our 2,3, & 4 holes k’d twice and ejected from the game, and a pop up. We win 6-5 if we those guys could put it in play. I’m just saying he put us in the best position to win with some “studs” behind him.

I would start Frei in LF, Chance in CF, and Wyers at 2B until Teel comes back.

Val went 2-4 w a jack today. He wasn't the problem.

the thing that kept pissing me off was hitters swinging at borderline pitches and balls when a pitcher was having trouble throwing strikes. Sully did it on 3-0 after a couple walks and popped it up. Granted, Stallman was coming up and has been an automatic out, so maybe it wasn't a bad idea for Sully to swing 3-0. Stallman chasing that down and in slider for the 100th time on the first pitch after the pitcher had walked a couple and in front of him. There was some shitty baseball played this weekend. SHITTY. If i'm struggling hitting and the pitcher is struggling, you have to take until they throw a strike.

The studs are not hitting in the clutch. That was a big problem this weekend .

It happens for every team, every level at some point. This team will be fine. I think they'll be at least 15 sec wins or more, and they'll host.

100%. Hell for the last few series they havent/ Been relying on the Bottom of the order.

I would rather be going through a slump now and not come tourney play.

Chance is probably our best pressure hitter. We don't win the Friday OM game without his 9th inning double and he probably has more 2 out RBIs than pretty much anyone else on the team this year. I was just making the point that even he is having issues right now along with most of our best hitters. We would seem to have too many good hitters in our lineup for them all to stay in a funk for too long. But we certainly need to get rolling again offensively. There are times throughout the SEC season that you do need to be able to put up double digit runs to win and we just aren't able to do that right now.

Stall is struggling. Ace/Sully/34 have not been clutch so far.

We are only as good as our Dudes. When the Dudes play good ball- we are good. They werent good this weekend- swept. Cmon Tennessee

He wasn't a problem. He can either DH for Noah or Frei can on Tuesday
