If MacLeod continues to struggle, that's exactly what I'd do.

Yep, apparently we have thrown in the towel on this one already.

Bednar and Sims could be the Friday guy soon.

We'll see Cerantola tomorrow.

Thanks - I thought there might be something I had missed with him.

Mac would be rolling along with a shutout if we could make a tag.

The hitting has me more worried in this game than McLeod, but he should be done at 87 pitches.

I mean adversity, I guess. 2 starts now, and both times things went downhill in a hurry.

FINALLY, solid contact

Olthoff looking like Greg Maddux so far...

Big moment, Rowdey with two On

Please hit this punk

I like this from Lemonis, getting in this dudes head and making sure this is all legit

Have a feeling they are about to blow up our pitching this inning now.

NM. Figured we were leaving Riley in.

Didn't matter, my gut was right anyway.

The infield defense is an embarrassment.

Yup. That?s game. We are done. Hopefully we can snag the next two

One play we don't make costs us 3 runs. Otherwise we get out w nothing. As it is we only have one out.

I'm out. Pathetic performance. They talk shit and kick our ass? Nah thanks man.

Is this an indication of what's to come, Dawgs come up against good pitching and can't hit.

You know how it works round here. I've actually grown out of the freak outs in random regular season games

Prepare for additional freak outs in game 2 if Cerantola still has control issues.

What I said was not a melt, I asked if this might be an indication of future ineptitude as this is one of the better pitchers faced so far this year.

I'll watch your posts when the Braves start playing

I'm not freaking out in regards to the rest of the season bc it's a long season, but this is ugly. We've got some questions that need to be addressed.

Lol, I think I'll still be cool. I've mellowed out lately.

ETA... if anything can bring out the crazy in me though, it's snit making a move I don't like, and it going just like I predicted

We will have a good team but I'm very skeptical that we are Top 10. Just don't think our pitching is going to be elite enough to make up for our very average offense.

For one the dawgs are making too many errors or bobbles with the ball.

Maybe not, but we have a lot of time to improve. I think we have some pieces

What bothers me is the hitting. To me it seems it has been a staple in the last couple years. Weak ground balls and way too aggressive. We have the arms but what about the bats. I’m not so sure.

*Now we could literally score 25 runs in two games tom and win the series, but it is worrying me now..

To many turnovers.

Like that throw to first.

I don't have many questions about our pitching. We need to get everyone in the right role but we are elite.

It's the defense at SS and hitting that may keep us from Omaha.

Wasn't directed to you. Just several others.

We may wind up top 10 but we are barely top 15-20 right now.

What a pathetic offensive performance tonight after only scoring 7 against JSU. This Tulane pitcher is in his 8th inning of work and has only thrown 85 pitches. Barely over 10 pitches per inning.

Pathetic. Olthoff making us his bitch.
