Why Mangum decided this AB was the one he was going to change his approach, I'll never understand. We made a habit of watching pitches down the middle and chasing the ones in the dirt in this game. Just a terrible hitting approach.

That ump sucked dicks today too. How the **** do they get as wide a strike zone like they did and ours was much smaller.
On to football season... We gonna get raped tomorrow to finish off an otherwise great season
Taking the first 2 wasn't a bad idea. Gotta make sure he's throwing strikes. The bigger problem is the last one: Jake Francouer hasn't seen a pitch he didn't like.Quote:

Yes, it was a bad idea.Quote:

Again, 17! I just....17!
Well, time to show what we are made of. Just need to win tomorrow to have a chance.
3 effing pitches........
Yup. I hate being a State fan some days. I really do.Quote:

Those weren't strikes unless you are 3 feet tall.Quote:

I'm not about to blame the ump. Every player in the lineup sucked tonight, except maybe Collins. Had the only 2 hard-hit balls all night and one was a grounder to 2B.
