agree. His bat is just awful. It truly makes it a tough situationQuote:

What’s his stat vs Powell on passed balls? He’s caught about 70% of our games hasn’t he?Quote:

Lets remember he's probably caught twice as many innings and Powell has allowed more SB'sQuote:

Well we got screwed on that pitch called a ball. Now he hits the guy.
Hines has been bad. The only players they need to defend is the second baseman and the 1st baseman.
What the heck does the Ump want?
How about we don?t pipe one down the middle up 1-2 in the count.
Well shit. We do actually have to pitch near the zone.
A maroon and white win.Quote:

Stephen?s hasn?t looked at the runners for the 7 pitches leading up to that.
SEC stats say differentQuote:

Remember all of this happened because the UMP didn?t call strike 3 on a ball down the pipe.
Stephen comes apart after being given a lead. They all fall asleep and give up a double steal. SMH
exactly. So thats not a great gauge on judging catchersQuote:

Well, if we hadn't botched the double play we could have gotten out of that clean.
Except it can be used. Zero runners thrown out.Quote:

About to find out if our hitting has the nuts to keep up this time our year. Our pitching is going to need it.
1 run allowed there is a win
Long isn't good at anything but taking a ball off his chest & running his mouth. Not that we don't need that sometimes
Goalposts = movedQuote:

I like C34, but he says dumb shit from time to time. But instead of just admitting he's wrong or even just not saying anything, he digs down, moves the goalposts, and tries to will himself into being rightQuote:

Powell is .310/.395 with 5 homers so no, we can't agree on that.Quote:
