Some trouble in the top of the eighth. Bases loaded two outs 9-2 MSU.
Leibelt walks in a run 9-3 bases loaded still.
run walked in 9-3
We basically have to be able to score a lot of runs. That's just how this team is made because the bullpen is so inconsistent.
fly out to left out of the inning 9-3
Disaster averted Leibelt induces a can of corn and we go to the bottom of the eighth up 9-3.
And our bullpen can go quick too. Be great one batter then lose it badly the next.Quote:

Would love to see White have a 1-2-3 inning here so we have some consistency
100 mph fastball by White Lol.
He's a good off-speed pitch away from being unhittableQuote:

I agree. Just pounds the zone and doesn't walk people.Quote:

Let's sweep em tomorrow to make up for getting swept last weekend.
Maybe our season wasn't over after all!**Quote:

Mangum also got the record so that's one less distraction to worry with as well.
Would be absolutely huge. And another SEC win against anyone almost puts us in the regionals by me calculations.Quote:

Exactly. And that's what I want his role to be especially since Plumlee is our third starter and is only going to give us 3-5 IP.Quote:

Coaching decisions regarding the pen are a lot easier when you put up 8, 19, and 9 runs which brings me to our bats not hitting last weekend imo doomed us to the sweep over the pitching woes.Quote:

We survived UGA due to their bad hitting. A more clutch team could killed us today. LSU and Arkansas come to mind.
Ginn and Barlow were given about three ABs too many.
I think our hitters started to press after the first loss. Which occurred because we left a relief pitcher in way too long unnecessarily. It's water under the bridge. The bullpen has been managed much better this week. Literally the only thing I would have done differently is throw Leibelt the 7th and 8th inning of the Governor's Cup and Colby White the last inning. And that's semantics basically.Quote:

We also weren’t nearly this patient at the plate last weekend against Arkansas to put pressure on their pitching staff. I love having Skelton and Gilbert batting 7 and 8 as they tax the pitchers and drive their pitch count up. The approach we are using this weekend would have given us a chance to take 2 from Arkansas last weekend.Quote:
