Kam James is not smart at all. Pitcher struggling with command and he decides to swing at the first pitch. Routine fly out to end the threat. Just asinine.

Same story all year, leave too many on base every game. If Brandon has an average game we win this game. We just never catch a break this year.
Well isnt that a microcosm of our season.
How are coaches not in his ear coming up to bat about the situation that he don't do that?Quote:

Yep. Except for Yeager and James crapping the bed all night, might could have won this one. I don?t feel real good about having our 3, 4, 5 batters coming up in the 9th. That is really a sad state of affairs.
For real. And its been like this all year. And not just Kam.Quote:

Can two get on and Hines bring it home? I'll take that finish. Hines is due.
Anybody taking bets on all 3 first pitch swinging?
The dugout looked energized and engaged right there. Thats a good sign. There have been many times this year where it looked like a funeral home over there.
I would roll some vcash on a comeback but it will not let me do fifty cents.
Yep. Pitcher walks first 2 batters by throwing 8 balls and only one strike. Then Yeager comes up and takes a ball. Then Yeager swings at ball 2 and hits a dribbler to short. Stupid. Then James comes up, knowing the pitcher isn’t throwing strikes, and swings at the first pitch.Quote:

Time for a HR. We are due.
We got that launch angle thing down. First 2 outs in the 9th went 100 feet high.
No you missed the point. I didn't say anything about us having dependable pitching. I said Tepper did his job. Learn how to read. You responded to my post disputing something I didn't even say.Quote:

Losing the majority of this lineup may not be the worst thing in the world.
3 of those 4 batters in the 9th had 2 hits in the game each. The one that actually got a hit in the 9th, the freshman who was 0-4 and had looked silly. Our .300 plus hitters are smoke and mirrors guys. When we need a hit out of them, it isn?t there. But Forsythe raised his average to .295. Wouldn?t be surprised by end of season, he leads the team in hitting.😂😂😂
Point stands. Apologize for responding to your post but you were talking pitching. I never said YOU said we had dependable pitching, Yes, Tepper did well tonight in a game we were down 6 runs but no way you can count on him next time in a tight one.Quote:

They got no marbles!
This season is so bad it makes it feel like we've been losing for years.
I bet we come in 1 win shy of making a regional, lol.Quote:
