If we squander this lead it is squarely on Lem and Fox
This is 17ing ridiculous
Unbelievable. I?m a Lemonis fan. But Lemonis better have an explanation for this.
Going with KC now after giving up 3 runs....
For real. At the very least you pull him after the first guy reachesQuote:

I tried to tell y?all that Tanner Allen and Rowdey Jordan coached this team last year. Lemonis sat on a ball bucket all year.
KC with the strikeout lead at 4 now...
Hunt just bailed the coaching staff out.
KC puts out the fire. Nothing comes easy for this team lol
Way to go KC
Cumbest hitting tonight
Lemonis wanted to save KC for tomorrow, obviously.
If you don't use Talley, who do you have?
Tullar - Nope
Walker - Nope
Stinnett - Used
Tepper - Hmmm No thanks
Fristoe - Hmmm No thanks
No obvious better choice in the circumstance.
hope they just call the game. 8 innings and there is another game tomorrow.
Glad somebody understands. With that big a lead you try to get out of it without using Hunt. Save him for tomorrow. He brought Hunt in when he should've.Quote:

I?m no weatherman but my guess there will not be a game tomorrow. To that possibility you make sure you win this one. At 5-8, we have to have every win we can get. This team is definitely going to have low to mid 20?s in the loss column. 13-17 might squeak in. 12-18 ain?t.
They don?t call it unless it is get away day. They will finish it even if they have to play the 9th tomorrow afternoon.Quote:

I agree with that. Just should have had a shorter leash with beef after 100 pitches and sitting in the dugout for so long. But win this and it dont matterQuote:

I agree and I hope he can come back tomorrow if need be. However I really wish we could rely on Fristoe. Need him to find some confidenceQuote:

Did we win? Trying to keep up. Got that Covington county WiFi tonight. Lol
Game is just now resuming
1 down top of the 9th KC still pitching
Ball game on a double play
Now we wait to see how bad the hand injury to Yeager is. Cannot afford to lose him.
Ballgame Wrapped in Maroon and White
But...
Tanner Leggett ended the game on a Double Play, should we be concerned that Yeager was hit in the wrist?
Yeah let's hope RJ is ok. We lose him with all the pitchers that are down would suck.
Lemonis made it sound like it was just precautionary in his interview.
Should have been Fristoe to start the inning. Preston shouldn't have even gone out to start the 8th.Quote:

I agreed with sending Preston out there for the 8th, but should?ve pulled him after the lead off walk.Quote:
