Mangum is not a lead off hitter at this stage. He has to have bat discipline. Swinging at everything is not a guy you lead off.

Magnum is so frustrating to watch hit
2nd time thru the lineup, heres hoping JB can maintain control of the game.
Has JB gotten ahead on any batter? Geez. Throw strike 1.
Both of these pitchers are really deceptive today... guys swinging at bad pitches
Great call, Cann/Henderson
Way to go Dogs - going to the 4th down a run.
Great inning there by JB. We need our hitters to start hitting now. Only down 1.
Have to quit trying to pull the breaking pitch.
Bottom of our order got better swings than the top's 2nd look
Boy, we just are NOT going to take a walk. Cody goes down on a 3-2 count on a pitch in the dirt.
Our guys just not seeing it today. We need to just watch balls go by and extend this asshats pitch count.
Cann has to just tell them watch a few balls go by. They obviously aren't going with the if it's not a fastball don't swing mantra. That slider has not been close to the strike zone.
****...how did that ball get out?
Might do it. We can't adjust to 1 pitch... we deserve to lose
Dang!
Update?
2-0 aTm b4Quote:

On the bright side at least nobody was on base. Meanwhile Self and Price continue to get more rest.Quote:

That pitch was grooved right into the hitter's happy zone.Quote:

3-1 bama 4th
well Billingsley got about 4 inches off the outside corner on that strikeout.
Time to get some runs. If our guys can lay off that damn slider, we can get some base runners and change the dynamic of this game. Let's go!!!
Poole's leap at the wall makes me feel good about my vertical haha
We have to be patient at the plate if we are going to come back. Still plenty of baseball and only down by 2.
All of you giving Billingsley sh*t need to hush. This is on the bats right now.
Self and Price shoulda brought a cooler of beer to each game this series. At least that way they coulda been drunk watching us lose this series without them. That's how I might finish this one
They are going to end up getting so much rest that they are rusty when they finally get to pitch.Quote:

That should have been a 4 pitch walk instead 2-2 to Macnamee.
NT
60 pitches thru 4.2... we in trouble
Game shouldn't be out of hand at 2-0. That's the bats. Not the pitching. You know this.Quote:

Undisciplined batting screwing us today.
For 17's sake, keep the damn bat on your shoulder. We look like a team of idiots.
Well, in a game where you may not score but 2 or 3 runs you have to have your best pitchers out there to keep you in the game. Billingsley has done a decent job so far but he is not the kind of pitcher in the SEC that is normally going to win you a 3-2 game. Self might have a chance to do that.Quote:
