MSU vs UGA game 2 Thread..

This ump is really squeezing us right now.

this umpire sucks.

That ump is killing us.

This ump has a strike zone that is tighter than most I've seen in college but so far he has been very consistent with it.

Of course, I was taught a 2 strike approach at the plate as well -- to spread out, choke up, and put it in play. Something Cohen rejects in the traditional sense...

I was a big boy- and a power guy. So I didnt get many of those with 2 strikes anyway. People would get me away or off speed CB down...elevated FB and slider away- that was my kryptonite

Atta boy Ross. Love Britton at 3rd defensively.

Big out there to get out of the jam!

toldt yal!!

Cox start tossing the ball around

Just play Britton at third and keep Detz at DH. If Detz is out there, UGA is up 4-3 right now.

If Britton would hit just a little it would be tough to keep him off of 3rd base. He seems to be much more comfortable there than at SS.

Their OF is saving them from being down by a whole lot more.

Rea up nobody on, two out***

We're crushing this guy right now. It should more than a 3-0 lead.

vick is hitting too many fly balls right now.. I know that looked like he smoked that one but its a routine fly ball at dudy.

Statistical likelihoods across college baseball(BBCOR era):
1st and 2nd no outs - avg 1.79 runs and score at least 1 71% of the time
2nd and 3rd 1 out - avg 1.56 runs and score at least 1 73% of the time

Across the country, there is basically no gain in doing that...

Rea takes SO MANY FASTBALLS

the ump is not calling this both ways.

And even LESS of a gain bunting one man over like we try to do all the damn time (less than 2012 for sure though)

Rea is in a bad slump right now..

Rea let a ball go that if he had swung at wouldn't have come down yet. Man he is struggling.

To me its more about where you are in the lineup. To give away an out with non-RBI producing hitters coming up makes ZERO sense.

He has no approach at the plate whatsoever. Cant hit the outside fastball, gets jammed in. Move his ass down in the order

No we are playing a double header.

he catches bracewell and I think fitts.

I just hate giving away outs unless it's tied or a 1 run game late.

First pitch popup Blah

That's the second ball that Heck has smoked today that got caught.

heck of a play by the 3rd basemen there... Heck smoked that one.

We need at least 2-3 more runs for me to feel comfortable about this game.

CT has taken some really lazy swings the last two days

This guy has quietly settled down and given UGA a quality start. We better keep holding their offense.

I hope cohen leaves Ross as our Saturday starter. And hope he uses preston as either Fri or sunday and fitts the other.
