They never showed an angle that I saw, when he caught the ball...

Typical Forsythe. Great play in the field. Strikes out looking on 3 pitches.

Innings 5-7 looking like the team that played Grambling Tuesday night. Easy grounders to the infielders with a couple of fly ball outs.

Right now he can’t even stand on his toes and reach the Mendoza line.

NO! And do you know why? Because there's no crying in baseball. THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL! No crying!"

It stinks to high heaven about Sims, but I'm certain he doesn't want us crying over him. Our guys are still the defending national champions, and it's situations like these when your team leaders emerge. Hit'em where they ain't, boys!

Neither Kohn or Walker are ready. Mid week at best.

Walker not impressing me so far. He very well might just give this game away....

Jesus guys.

Grand slam. 2 run game now. Ffs...

Tulane right back in this game. Grand slam makes it 10-8

I dozed off it was so boring, so thanks walker for getting me interested again


Dang

Sorry get Walker out of there. Not built for the pressure right now

wtf are we doing here? go get his ass!

So after a smoked double and a hit batter, Lemonis didn?t figure Walker wasn?t on today?

#*%>?!*#%

Wonder what that will do for Walker's ERA now. And we really go with Auger here?

If we **** around and lose this game...

Idk what it is but I just dont like Tulane

Went from 9 to 15.

Hopefully that snapped Lemon out of his nap.

Better get used to having to score a ton of runs...bc no lead is safe with our bullpen this year. With Sims hurt, that's going to make it even worse.

I wouldn't even say mid week. I'd say shagging BP balls and keeping the Gatorade refilled.

They're a bunch of douches. Quiet as a mouse until they take a lead or make a play, and then talk trash like they're the damn Yankees

Auger with 2 quick outs so far. Last one was tagged though so hopefully he can keep them guessing and the pitchers down

They were a bunch of c^nts last year, too. Probably the douchiest team we played all season, OM included.

It is so hard for me to get used to these big slower guys in the outfield. After years with Mangum and Rowdey, I feel like we have a major defensive weakness out there. I get it, we need the sticks, it's just so different than what I'm used to

He and Tullar will have a lot to talk about.

Good job Auger.

Because their Coach is a total ASSHAT. He needs private security when he goes to redstick.

If we're fortunate enough to get to Omaha, it'll be interesting seeing them cover that outfield

Yeah both teams playing in the same weather but that doesn't mean that both play the same in cold weather. I still think the cold weather may hamper us for whatever reason.

Diaolouge between Lemon and Hines

Maybe. We didn't figure our pitching out till pretty late last year. We fielded a pitching staff and bullpen that very few teams the past 10 years can match.

I shouldn’t be the least bit uncomfortable with a two run lead against a Tulane team with six outs left.

I shouldn’t be.

Well hopefully our bullpen can save us this game because our batters have lost their focus for the past 4 innings

I am very uncomfortable. This Siegel guy for Tulame. Has shut down the noise we were making in first 4 innings. 4 straight goose eggs.

Simmons-Sims. Not too far off. Hopefully Stone can channel his inner Sims closer abilities....

4 straight scoreless innings by our offense isn't helping either.

We went from see ball hit ball in the first 4 or so innings to taking strikes and swinging at bad pitches.
