Been a consistent theme even back to when Cohen was coaching. The pickoffs lately though have been at a ridiculous rate.

Only guy I really see who checks the position players before every pitch is Rowdey. He will never get picked off at 2nd because he checks them every pitch. This should be habit to check them and then listen for them moving around as the pitcher comes set. They should also be checking the outfielders positioning every pitch to know whether or not to run or tag of a ball is hit out there.
4-0 on Sac fly by Tanner
One run in an inning that we could have easily had 2 or 3. Let's throw strikes!
That was a strike!
Guy made zero attempt to get out of the way.
Tying run to the plate now.
Don't try to get that on a short hop Foscue. Damn. Keep it in the infield and live to see another guy. Shit play
Dammit got to smother that.
Where does Lemonis get those Moo Moo's? That stripe down the back doesn't help!
Liebelt is still pitching well. Kind of hate to see him get pulled. Never know what Gordon is going to do. If we had scored 2 or 3 in the prior inning like we should have we could be a lot more comfortable.
Scary spot here
Please be good Cole today
So do we still get Colby in the 9th or are we staying with Cole?
Well which Cole do we get
Holy Hell, this ump will not call the outside corner
Got a bad feeling here.
Bad move pulling Liebelt.
Go ahead run to the plate. Only one guy with a legitimate hit this inning.
This is bad Cole with a all of a sudden tight zoned ump...
Looks like bad Cole. Settle down and throw strikes big boy!
It's embarrassing to walk out of the bullpen and not be able to get fastballs over.
I swear, I have not seen pitchers not to be able to throw fb's for strikes like this since Dixie Youth baseball. 4 straight balls to open for Cole.
Gordon has to make everything as hard as possible
Whew, out of the inning
Whew. Gotta make it interesting
Thank goodness the Georgia guy swung at a ball! Not sure that was ever in the strike zone but good job Cole getting out of that.
Nice comeback Cole!! Whew!!
Wtf is Gordon laughing at? Get in the ****ing dugout ****ing walk machine
I still go Colby in 9th... Just throw the heat right down the gut.
We need to work on defense this week with no midweek game. This defense is not going to win a natty. Decision making is poor. That high chopper last inning should have been a knock down at worst. Have to stay in front of that. Our outfield play is plus plus. Infield is negative. Catching is a plus. Small ball slap teams will eat our lunch with this infield. UCLA comes to mind.
Love to watch Foscue hit!
