Damn, we never make it easy! Nice sweep of a top 5 team!!!! Congrats Dawgs!
FINALLY!!!! HAIL STATE!!
4-0 this week with a Top 20 Win and a sweep of Top 5 Georgia! Nice answer after a bad trip to Hogville
Great weekend and great win! 36-9 and 13-8 and all goals still ahead of us!
****. Great sweep and comeback from the shitshow of,last weekend. Guys showed some stones.
However....Somebody in that bullpen besides liebelt needs to sack up and throw strikes or we won't win in June.
I'll take my way and be comfortable with it.Quote:

White will be good, he's come a long way in location and in a 2nd pitch. Couple more weekends and I think we'll see him as better than Leibelt
Yeah, terrible decision to take Cole out after he K'd that guy to end the inning too. As a coach, you have to realize Colby is your last option, and he has 1 pitch. Can't remove a guy that is fresh in Cole just because you want the "closer" to close. Should have left Cole in until we HAD to use White. I do not like the way our pitching is being handled overall, but so far so good. I just feel like we're playing with fire if we aren't making smarter decisions in JuneQuote:

However, our bullpen is pretty atrocious. There's no way around it. At this point in the season, it's just a matter of nutting up and getting the job done. Being mentally tough. And it can be done. Look at Plumlee today. Dude came out and got it done. Our bullpen needs to follow. Other than that, a great weekend, and if we can take 2 of 3 from A&M next weekend, we'll be in fantastic shape for a national seed.
Yep, actually a great week. I would say we should be right back in discussion for a national seed again.Quote:

we were up 5 runs vs a terrible hitting team, when else are you supposed to get White some SEC experience? A 1 or even 2 run game and I agree with you, but White needs to pith more than Cole and as we saw, even a horrible outing still got us the winQuote:

Not when we have already used Barlow, Liebelt, AND Cole. You have to finish off a sweep of top 5 UGA....screw experience at that moment. You tossed a guy in there that throws 95 mph flat fastballs with NONE of your reliable bullpen guys left...can't do that. Game was too important. You want to get him "experience", you had two blowouts the previous two games and a fresh bullpen to do it inQuote:

From my perspective it seemed like Skelton thought it was a low line drive out. As soon as the 3rd baseman dove and caught the ball, Skelton froze and ran began to run back to 2nd. It was a careless base running mistake regardlessQuote:
