Yep, when you're up big the #1 priority is to throw strikes, even if you get hit a little bit. He was doing just fine until this inning, which is longer than a closer normally asked to go.Quote:

Self scares me here because he's prone to give up the HR. Could easily be 9-6 in a hurry.

Good pitching after getting ahead in the count there by Self. Still think Cole was a victim of an umpire who decided he was going to squeeze the strike zone. Doesn't help to hit the corners if the ump won't call it a strike.
Kentucky up 3-0 on OM in the 5th of their second inning game. Would be a big help if KY can complete the sweep.
Cole should be good for 120 pitches, he's country strongQuote:

Not hating Cole, but this is his first year as a "closer". He's been our first out from the bullpen.
Giving up a solo HR when you're up 9-0 is not a big deal. Again, when you're up big, just throw strikes.Quote:

I dont understand what some of you alls problem is. I trust Gordon a lot in that closer spot. He has proven it over 2 years. And even if he was not the guy who the hell else do you trust more?
There’s a different mentality when it’s a 1-2 run game vs an 8-9 run lead. Thought Cole pitched decently. I’m not going to bitch whatsoever in a 10-3 game.Quote:

Glad to have Tanner Allen back producing
Yeah, they are just finding things to bitch about at this point.Quote:
