You would hope that your senior SS could make a routine hope 6-4-3 that would have killed the KY inning there.

You were taught a 4 seam grip as a catcher on stolen base attempts in spring training? No, no you weren't.Quote:

Not at catcher. Agree with you there. Not enough time to adjust quickly. Some catchers can do it. Just throwing the ball on plays at other positions, if you have time. I was too athletic to play catcher.
I taught it to catchers in high school. Good catchers. State championship catchers. We worked on it in drills. Why wouldn't you? Simple transfer drills.Quote:

Bases juiced no one out and he gets out of it. Kudos to you Vance Tatum. Got to get better at focusing when leading the game but dammit son you pitched your ass off when under the gun. Great ****ing performance.
I was discussing a very specific circumstance -- which was very specifically discussed on the broadcast and you went seeking an argument where there wasn't one. You never "have time" to adjust grips at catcher on stolen base attempts. Not unless the dude literally falls down..Quote:

Yikes....that was a pretty bad AB for Humphreys.
I have the baseball game muted. I don't want to listen to Kentucky broadcasters talking baseball to me.
I've got a couple of rings myself...Quote:

Of course not every throw but it can and should be worked on. It can be done and is done. We will just disagree which is ok.Quote:

Their 3 hole can rake.
One more
Vance say-- Pull me??? Why?!?!?!
Not the overall best performance technically but the most nut grabbing clutch pitching effort we've had all year. The rest of our staff needs to take a hard look at themselves and find what Tatum has inside. Great grind it out MUST WIN performance.
Outstanding job Vance Tatum.
At least we came out with a win today boys. This team can use anything like this game as something positive to build off of for the rest of the year. We hit the ball pretty well today.
Should be ashamed of ourselves for not taking at least 2/3 this wkd.
you sir are 100 percent correct... testicular fortitudeQuote:

Just need to win the series. If we sweep great, but a series win is a mustQuote:
