It would be HUGE if Sexton could go CG for us in this game. Give us basically all hands on deck for the final game.

You are Will Jamesing hard on this.

What you are describing is not a hit and run.

Hated it when Robson walked because of the DP possibility. Marrero is just in a major slump.

I don't know why you don't have Robson steal to eliminate the DP. Make the C make a decision on whether or not to try gunning down Robson and risk Hump breaking for home.

Shoulda caught Kruger & DH'd Rook

Shit. Two on no one out for Alabama...

Lead may not last long.

Shit, Bama is about to answer. 2 on no outs. I expected Hudson and Sexton to dominate this shitty lineup, but both have gotten hit pretty well. Hopefully Sexton can battle through this.

Hand is still the limiting factor in why we didn't IMO.

1-2, need a big pitch here...nothing fat

That'd be my guess as well.

Big K!

Big K there. Let's get a dp

Big K from Sexton. DP gets ya outta the inning now. C'mon, Sexton.

Come on, Austin. Roll a DP

That balk call was bogus!

Horseshit.

Shit. Balk

That wasn't a balk. The Homer announcers even were questioning it.

nt

What was the balk?

This ump gives up on that outside corner too early

What a shit call. Balk my ass!

And that would have been a double play....

That BS balk call cost us 1 run so far.

2-1, man on 3rd two outs

Damn, let 'em get one back.

Without the walk that's probably a DP. Im pissed about that balk because Sexton did pause.

Fahn Cooper just got drafted. Quick! Somebody ask him if he got money from a coach!

said, it wasn't a balk.

Rarely do we ever just get beat bc someone hits the shit out of us....it always takes us making errors, balk calls, walks, and seeing eye singles and stuff that we give up runs on

Sexton pissed about that balk can't blame him

WTF? Sexton has been solid so far. Why use up the pen early? Stupid.

ETA: He's one damn pitch from getting out of it. To a guy hitting under .200. This makes no damn sense.

Wow, pitching change. Seems a little early to pull Sexton.

And that balk bullshit call chases Sexton. Ump sucks ass.

Why pull him out here? Don't understand that.

Thoughts on Billingsley here? I don't want our coaches falling in love with a guy over 1 performance. Hope this works

If that's Billingsley I'm a little concerned about a WP. Some of his pitches dive down in the dirt.
