Lemon looks like a genius starting Reeves at SS
Got to advance both of these runners here. Might look to choke up and just get one to the grass.
No. He looks like he tinkered way too long this year. He doesn't get credit for figuring something out (batting Frei and making the lineup work from there to have the best bats)Quote:

Top of 5 was fun. Batted around and scored 7 runs. More please
Dang. Who killed Joe Powell and is wearing his uni?!!?
I totally agree we are a softball team with alot of 1st basemen playing other positions
Actually pulling a pitcher when it makes sense based on game feel and not trying to steal an extra inning.
This is one of my mine problems with Lem. I said it last week as well, but the tinkering and waiting so long to settle a line up is ridiculous.Quote:

I've said it since the start- we have too much talent to failQuote:

At least we learned not to throw Lebron another BP fastball.
If we get 2 more runs, let stone try to finish it off in the bottom of 7 and save arms for tomorrow/Sunday.
Just enough to get by. That?s his book.Quote:

Cupp is our 8th leading hitter in SEC play. Could there be something there? Sure. Could we have gone straight offense tonight? Also sureQuote:

Winning but the 3rd base coaching is awful again. Why can't Lemons coach 3rd base? Polk was the 3rd base coach
What's with the nonchalant turn throw?
So tired of seeing Cheese delete runs. Please put anyone else out there?
Yep. Overall I'm pleased, but this a game that could've been over in the 7th... Frei got thrown out at second early on, cost us a run. Chance hits into a DP with the bases loaded to end an inning. Cheese gets Frei thrown out at home to end an inning.Quote:

He's actually 6th but he is batting over .300 in the league.......
Bama trotting pitchers out like they grow them in a big incubator overnight.
Like the toughness by Hunter there. Takes the pitch before up and tight but stays in on the next pitch and shoots it to left center.
Hines has really made an improvement at the plate. Nice to have a veteran actually playing like one.
ETA: Except that dropped ball early in the game. Shoulda been caught.
Very satisfying win. Just hope we didn't dump our load offensively in the first game.
Had to have at least 1 this weekend. So even if we did, it accomplished the minimum goal to keep the season alive.Quote:

Need Pico to throw a good game next weekend.
2 starts in a row haven’t been up to his standard.
We're treading water right now. Not a big fan of firing him during the season anyway. We just need to let it play out.Quote:

Just don't give Lebron anything to hit the rest of the weekend and we may sweep.
I would fire Goat before Lemon. Lemon holds onto his assistants too long. If we could get some A+ assistants and let Lemon talk to dude’s dads about golf that would be best case scenario. The fact Goat and Cheese still have jobs means that’s not likely to happen. I’m not a huge fan of Lemon, but he’s not the worst coach in our dugout.Quote:

You can say "well, we should be higher" but then if that' the case we should fire Parker because our pitching also ranks 6th in the SEC.Quote:

I’m sorry but I haven’t forgotten not making the SEC tournament for two years straight, I haven’t forgotten how unprepared we appear in the early part of season for years, I haven’t forgotten how many base running blunders, haven’t forgotten not getting players recruited for needs of positions. I could come up with a few more but these are the major ones. Just let the season play out then get them away from our program.
