No it wasn't. Less than 2 outs with runner on third you CANT strike out. Have to put it in play. Inexcusable.

Rooker also projects really well for MLB. He is extremely intelligent and already makes adjustments on pitchers. He also has a very fluid swing for that kind of power. He will be on a MLB roster within 2 years.

We will just agree to disagree. Poole didn't face two BP fastballs and choke popping them up.

Going to bottom of the fourth MSU up 3-0.

Poole and Alexander are both. Back up SEC players at best
Poole is basically Michael smith and that will be his role next year if he comes back . Pinch run and late defense replacement
Alexander can't hit period. I don't see anyway he improves enough this summer to start. You can't just be a great fielding INF at 3b and SS for big time sec programs and not hit. . And he isn't playing 2nd as long as Stovall is here. Kid will be all sec next year if he stays healthy .
And enough with the Bragg talk..
kid is either a cancer or just a *****.
No way he is still "sick" .. unless it's Mono .

At this point it is pick your poison if Bragg isn't going to play. Either Poole or Alexander are going to be in the lineup but at this point I would leave Alexander. At least he hits the ball most of the time even if it is still out. Poole is a strike out machine right now. The last week or so he isn't even putting it in play.

Depending on how bad the draft hurts us, I think we will have replacements for these guys.

What if one of them makes the play that wins the game? What will you say then?

It really depends on where you feel more comfortable where Brown plays. I like him best in the outfield so IMO Alexander should play.

This summer is the shit or get off the pot for Alexander. He has been hurt the last 2 summers so he either needs to greatly improve or accept being a late defensive replacement and get good at bunting.

Question: If we win this one do we play tomorrow or Friday vs UPig?

At this point I would bunt Poole almost every time unless it is 2 outs.

Great job Gridley.

Pitching change for UGA in the bottom of the fourth. One on two outs with Rooker up.

I have been saying it all year .. I hope they do get some
Key hits . Won't change reality. They aren't talented enough to start in the sec Period .
Hell If we had anyone that could play 3rd Poole is already passed on depth chart.

You may as well bunt him with 2 outs because it looks like that is the only way he can put the ball in play.

The only other thing we could do is put Skelton at 3B. But I would much rather have Bragg at the plate over Poole and Alexander.

Rooker strikes out. MSU up 3-0 top of the fifth.

In other news, water is wet.

Nothing doing in the top of the fifth. Going to the bottom of the fifth MSU up 3-0.

I am pulling for whomever they send out there. Don't be so quick to give up.

Lol. Like MarketingBully always says "If you're going to get out, just strikeout and put no pressure on the defense; it looks a lot better than popping up."

MarketingBully doesn't has the smartz.

I tried to look up some stats to refute your claim that Alexander puts it in play most of the time. He K's about 30% of his AB's. Went and looked at Poole's stats... He K's about 35% of his ABs. We are a well-oiled strikeout machine.

In stats that don't matter because i doubt he gets another AB this season, Brant Blaylock has 83 ABs on the season. He has 40 (FORTY) strikeouts. Amazing.

I think maybe we are jumping the gun on Alexander and Poole. Obviously Cann sees something in practice that he likes or he wouldn't keep trotting them out there, maybe they are making all their field goals in practice or something.We lost Mingione early last off season and got Cann late so he really hasn't had time to get whatever brain fart they are having between practice and game time worked out yet. I will not be surprised if one or both will not be major contributes next year after a full year under Cann.

What is up with you guys today? I feel like I am on the 247 board. We are up 3-0 and pitching and hitting well. We cant bitch too much about our team so let's rip ourselves. Chill man.

Stay with me here, but Im beginning to think our pitching depth is an issue

It's possible. Either way I think it works itself out by the first of the year. We will know a lot as well once the June draft is over.

Had bases loaded again and nothing doing. 3-0 State going to top of the sixth.

Left them loaded again imagine that

Nothing doing in the sixth for UGA. Going to the bottom of the sixth MSU up 3-0. Pilk pitching a gem.

Obviously neither is a good choice offensively right now, but here's a comparison of the 2...

Alexander (224 PAs) = .223/.297/.345 ops = .642, 5 hr, 5/6 SBs, 20 bb (8.9%), 57 k (25.4%)

Poole (194 PAs) = .226/.291/.316 ops = .607, 3 hr, 11/16 SBs, 9 bb (4.1%), 53 k (27.3%)

I think if you're gonna play one, Alexander should be the choice bc we have less players at 3b and his walk rate is better

Weak fly out for Poole. That's progress.

There is no one else to run out there..
when your LF is playing 3b it not only tells you that ur Starting 3b isn't very good but the backups are worse. And to make it worse we have NO backups.
We can't even intersquad at this point. We may have some redshirt guys but, We Ran our weekend starter to 3rd during the LSU series.
And regarding the outfield The only other option there is Blaylock.
I'm not ripping these guys , sometime it is what it is.. just aren't big time sec guys.
