More because we lost tonight (whatever the score) and AZ still has their ace pitcher ready to come at us. We are in a bad spot no doubt.

Rooker and hump were no better

Yeah. It aint the ump's fault that Mangum watched two hittable balls blow by, folks. Sorry. We lost. We got our tails kicked.

Crowd had little to cheer about. Heck, I sat in front of the TV and working this thread waiting for the offense to do something. Looked like Coach Doom and Woody running the offense.

They got loud multiple times, only to see Rooker, Hump, Robson or Mangum soil their pants in another key spot. Hard to knock 13,000 fans from your couch when they just witnessed the shittiest offensive performance this season. But whatever

Well hell, batters 5-7 went what 0-12 and 6 of the 8 strike outs were from those spots in the lineup? That was just shit.

Well he is going to have to get where he can differentiate a ball in the zone from one out of the zone. Right now he is watching good pitches in the zone and swinging at pitches he can't possibly hit because they are so far out of the zone.

I'm not sure what this means, honestly. Sure, the winner of the first game wins 80% of the time. Because they only have to win 1 of 2, of course that is the case. But 20% of the time the team who loses the first game wins the SR. That's not insignificant, and I'd be curious to see what those odds are when it's the host that loses game 1. I'd guess those odds go up.

Regardless, I'm saying we absolutely can still get to Omaha. Saying, 'Only 20% of teams in our position make it, so we're screwed,' is odd to me.

Rooker drew a walk so yeah he was better. And they didn't come up in the same RBI spots.

Someone famous, I don't know who said that a good thing about baseball is you get to play tomorrow. We still have hope. Win tomorrow and and the pressure will be on them.

My couch in GA. I would have loved to be there. Just saying, that crowd was dead, and that didn't help. Not blaming the fans, just saying they didn't help.

Take one game at a time. Last time I checked, the seadon didnt end after the 1st game. We still have 2 more games to get back on track. We have Sexton and we have Houston. If I was Cohen, that intense bastard would come out in the locker room tonite. We did not play like SEC champs. We let a 3rd baseman who has dtarted 5 games all yr, come in our house and whip us like Kimche did that frat boy. Tom is a new day guys. Maybe this team needed a gut check after the way we have hit the last few wks. We will see tom at 5. See yall then.

Anyone trying to say the crowd had anything to do with us not winning tonight is just REALLY reaching. The crowd can't hit the ball for our batters unfortunately.

I'm not scared of their 'ace'.

Game was probably lost in 1st inning. 2 on, 1 out for Collins with 3-0 count. Collins took strike 1 on outside corner. Then he swung at the same pitch on the outside black. It's 3-1... Collins has to look for a pitch in a certain location and take if it isn't there. Collins swung at a pitcher's pitch when he didn't have to. We have to be more selective

We just got shut out by guy that used bc everyone else was wore out, so their ace isnt likely to be scared of us either
