Rest assured, if Vandy advances, they will not be winning any titles away from their plastic field. Bullshit stadium.Quote:

If there is a silver lining at least we have him available for tomorrow. Unfortunately we're going with JB instead of France because for some reason we don't want to throw our third best guy.Quote:

He may be out there tomorrow and we don't even sniff the lead. What a waste!!
Yes we have those 3, but what are the chances Henderson puts them in?Quote:

Well on the bright side if we lose tomorrow we may finally get to name our HC. It better not be hendo. I appreciate what he has done this year but he makes the most senile coaching decisions
Probably pretty high because JB and probably Denver are not going to last long. Just being honest.Quote:

I honestly don't see us doing that even if we make it to Omaha or even if we won the whole thing. There would be some sentiment to hire him but I don't think Cohen would.Quote:

No. Difference in the game is the ridiculous shifts we used tonight. That and Self. At some point we are going to have to win a ****ing one run game with our pen or what’s the point? Neff did his job getting four outs. You go to Self with six outs to get. When have we pitched Neff for extended innings? That triple was a joke. It was a freaking routine ground ball to the shortstop. It wasn’t even smoked or hit that hard. It rolled all the way to the wall because we had our infield shifted one way and our outfield shifted another. We lost this one because of coaching.Quote:

I know. Mainly sarcastic because we had self tonight, but didn't use himQuote:

Honestly my biggest gripe with Henderson is how he manages the pitching staff and bullpen. It's obvious that he tries to save everyone instead of playing to win the game at the moment. Look at how many times Pilkington has thrown 100 pitches in a game no matter how he performs. Same thing with Small last night.Quote:

I think our pitching staff under Henderson finished around 11th in the league.
Vandy's likely starter, Hickman has an era of 5.22. JB's is 5.05. We have self and France tomorrow too. Might now be such a bad matchup
Agree 100% about Larry tea bagger. PHUCK himQuote:

I agree about Allen. He looked like a freshman tonight.Quote:

We'll both of our switch hitters hit the ball better from the left side.Quote:

Our team will "cave" under pressure, just like we did against top 10 teams in the regular season and in the regionals.Quote:

Come on mane... we hit ark, om, and Florida staffs. They have big time velocity. They got us tonight. Still got another shot tomorrowQuote:
