We give up bombs
Home runs are the ONLY knock on Sexton this year.
Leave them loaded aGAIN. We've stranded 25 runners in 15 innings... Unreal how un-clutch we are.
Fitts for 4 -- Sexton till it's over...
Or even better Fitts for 4 -- Tatum until it's over.
I never understood moving him to the pen -- just hoped he would prove me wrong...
I'd like to see him start a clean inning. Fitts obviously can't strand inherited runnersQuote:

Yep. McCord needs to step up so we can move Laster to the pen for weekends.Quote:

But Engine, Todd, ISID, and MsStateBaseball say we'll be better on offense. We just need more time. 6 ****ing years isn't enough for Croom, er, Cohen.****Quote:

We need a big hit here. Get some confidence back
Bama might defend the bunt worse than any SEC school I've ever seen.
ETA: And I'm sure the wet surface doesn't help.
No reason to not sweep Alabama. Their pitching staff has begged us to score runs in just about every inning today.
They have one hell of an 8th inning offense though*Quote:

Will never understand trying to bunt w the bases loaded. 4 force plays. Let them swing wtf
Good thing we ****ed with Seth Hecks AB....
and no outs and already one strike on the batter and then k's on a pitch in the dirt. That's freaking horrible. That's how shitty we are at the plate.

That was so eerily similar to B7 earlier today. Exact same scenario heading T8.
13 stranded in 7 innings in this game. Currently at 28 through 16 innings today. I didn't even know it was possible to be that bad.

Hopefully bama bunts these 2 over**
Spring training don't correlateQuote:

We got lucky there.
They got lucky in the 8th inning first game. I won't apologizeQuote:

Nice bounce back. Still stranding too many, but a good win
Good Win! Way to go DAWGS!
Awesome job Sexton.
Smitty is pissed.
Need Sexton to go 9 tomorrow too
Yet that's one of the main things you've always beat your chest about...Quote:

What's our SoS though? That's the point. Citing to these national rankings sound great until you start to consider to context of the numbers. Our basketball team would've been among the best in the country statistically if they played junior high teams every game, but that's not taking into context our competition versus that of a lot of other teams we rank ahead of.Quote:

There are certainly details and parts of our hitting that need improvement. But we've got a bunch of people that seem to have turned off baseball in 1998 and just turned it back on right now. The overarching freak out, especially in regards to something we've been well above average at overall, is a pretty funny right now...
I was referring to our spring training scheduleQuote:

It's not hyperbole to say national rankings right now are not really relevant because of our SoS, and that we'll know more about our true offense in a month or so after 4-5 sec weekends.Quote:
