That 4-2 win against Louisiana was an abnormality with this team. We better score 7 or more every game to just have a chance. And then will probably lose some of those.

Every single leadoff walk we give up always scores. Seems like every time.Quote:

I hope nothing serious, but gotta be for Lemonis to sun him for highfill at that particular moment. I knew for a fact highfill was going to SO and squander how lead off walkQuote:

I just hate freaking walks. Please attack some hitters with fbs instead of nibbling!
Well that?s a huge head scratcher from Lemonis. We subbed a left handed hitter for a right handed hitter to face a right handed hitter. Wow.Quote:

Whose dumbass idea was this horrible clock protocol. Does not belong in baseball.
Agree, but if you're an opposing coach, you definitely tell your players to lay off the next few pitches after the strike count gets to 2... don't help the State pitcher out chasing a ball out of the zone.Quote:

And not once did Foxhall go out to talk to his pitcher. And we are just now getting someone warmed up.

I agree. If we are really bad, you fire Lemonis. We do not tolerate shit baseball seasons like thisQuote:

Well waited 2 batters too late,.
I can live with a team beating me because they're just raking but losing because you can't throw strikes is just unacceptable
Honestly Foxhall has to know he is fired at the end of the season. I do not care if we lead the nation in SO?s. If we are walking the population of Kentucky plus the Indian reservations, he deserves to be regulated back to community college pitchingQuote:

To me I see it's more pitch selection than our pitchers. I've known Landon Gartman for a long time and this is not how he pitches. He used to use a heavy sinker and got a lot of ground ball outs mixed with his nasty change up but we got him throwing fbs up in the zone. That's not how he's at his best. We need to use his strengths.Quote:

We do not have the Intense Bastard around to be intolerable. We can have a mediocre or bad year and Selmon will likely be told to give a NC winning Coaching staff another year to fingier it out. We stuck with these guys. We went out and hired a fund raising AD and those guys have to be nice guys to be effective.Quote:
