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:
