Alabama Game 1 Thread

Dawgs up 3-2 on a bad throw to 2nd on the missed hit and run.

4-2 now on the groundout by Lowe. 1 out.

Looking a bit better now. 4-2 still 1 out. runner on 3rd.

Lowe is such a smart hitter. We have a ton of guys in this lineup that would've been swinging for the fences there. Not Lowe, he has an mlb approach

Five or six runs tonight will win it. We are getting close to that mark.

Collins tagged that one! Got those 6 runs already.

Gavin error pup up collins with a 2 run dinger.

Just make me wrong Collins. Love it. :)

Atta boy, Gavin. You got a big lead, Hudson... Make it stand up

Feast or famine with Collins. We'll take it! 6-2 Dawgs.

As I've said, he's a bad DH. Hits the occasional big fly, but strikes out too much and has a shitty D. As long as he hits, he plays. He just hasn't hit enough this year.

Collins with a BOMB!! 8th on the year for him

He's on pace for about 12-13 HRs this year. He is a guy who can hit homeruns but seems feast or famine.

He's striking out about once every 8 PA. And he has an OBP over .400. The hate on Collins is bizarre.

I think a lot of us just wonder if his offense makes up for his porous defense.

There's been a lot of talk about him not being good enough offensively. He's been very good with the bat.

I'll admit, I'm wrong about the strike outs. But he's the epitome of feast of famine. It's either a homer or a popout. There's almost no in-between with him. And that'd be OK if he were DH, but he's an E5 machine in the field.

Probably bc he does popup and k a good bit with runners on base. He has come thru a lot lately though

Well, our coach is in his own way...so...

When's the expected return of Alexander? Stovall injury really has us needing Luke back
