We aren't going to throw Hunt or Tullar any the next 2 games so it's fine.

Tomorrow we better be aggressive on the base path. We need to take every swing as if we have 2 strikes from here on out. Walk up there tapping your chest boys.

I'll pass on the two strike swings.

And it needs to be somebody OTHER than freakin' Chase Patrick.

Notice not the first mention about the extra day of rest, they talked about the no contest but no benefit for Vandy has been discussed

I'd do it just to try to throw off their timing. Mlb teams seem to struggle the next night after facing a position player... facing below hitting speed pitching throws you off it seems

Well, so much for Rowdey and TA starting a rally.

I wish we were straight analytics. Analytics say lefty vs lefty doesn't matter. Lemonis brought Tullar in to face the 2 lefties vs Texas. And that's a big reason Bednar wasn't on the hill tonight. That Friday night game vs Texas was huge!!

Hootie, Stone, Stinnett (Johnson is available but our coaches stick with a plan) Sims (if we have a lead) tomorrow. Because that's how we roll.

Still pissed that Vandy has their normal rotation available for 3 games due to some bullshit gift. We're scrambling for arms and they're pitching a first rounder. Hate these ****ing guys

In all seriousness, State has hit the ball harder than Vandy all game. Out pitched them minus 1st inning. They blew their best pitcher tonight and they have hit one ball hard all night. We are winning this series. Rocker won’t pitch tomorrow the freshman will. Sims might start for us. Then setup for a Bednar v Rocker Wednesday

Fox isn't the analytics guy I guess.

Look guys, we blew it in the 1st. We played Leiter neck to neck with our bullpen.

Tomorrow is another day. We cannot give up at bats. We cannot issue walks early in innings. Those two things, are our weakest link. We made them earn nothing. Beach balls.

I know everyone is going to be hard on Mac. Dude really 17ed up. Tomorrow is another game. Regroup. Lets go.

guess not.

I truly can't believe nobody has knocked that whistler's head off. Whenever we lose to these guys and I hear that bastard whistling at the end, I just want to curb stomp him

I do believe we win this series.

We walked another. You 17n serious?

I can see tomorrow's path clearly. I can't see Wednesday's though

Miss play the bunt. 1st and 2nd, one out.

Mac has earned every bit of criticism for tonight. Same goes for Lemonis and Foxhall. You could tell after the first walk he did not have it. Again. Just pissed off. We all said back In 13 that we could win the next game then throw Graveman, but we know how that went. Highly doubt our bats wake up for tomorrow to give us a win

There is no life in our dugout. This series over.
