MSU vs UGA game 2 Thread..

Runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs... And we score nothing.

I hate it when we bunt early in the game against a pitcher who's struggling- we need to attack him. And then bad ABs by Randolph and Britton.

Disagree

I agree Engie especially since we were depending on Randolph and Britton to bring them home. It would be different if the top of the order was getting them home.

I agree, with the 8 and 9 hitters coming up there is no reason to give away an out.

This guy's strike zone is tight as hell.

never understood how someone can take that...I played from the time I 3 until I finished juco- and I can say I never took an inside fastball for strike 3. Not once

what the crap was wrong with that pitch???

I'd love for someone to ask about their thought process on that -- based on the sabermetric realities of college ball...

Dayum quit talkin about the buuuunt** (Everyone to me in 2012)

Agreed that we dont question things in baseball to the coaches like other sports. Cohen never gets challenged it seems.

me either.. I couldn't if I would have wanted too. .my body wouldn't have let me. lol

Britton is a stud defender. I love him playing third when P. Brown and Mitchell pitch.

if Detz is at 3rd- that's a hit

Mitchell special.. DP!

That's because you went dawg61 with your approach to it. I always agreed with your premise about about it -- just not the nature with which you constantly beat everyone over the head with it.

Yeah, I think I struck out a half dozen times looking period... maybe less. I was always way more likely to swing at a ball than to take a strike...

Of course, I was taught a 2 strike approach at the plate as well -- to spread out, choke up, and put it in play. Something Cohen rejects in the traditional sense...

I blame Cohen for the approach. Continued opportunities to bash. 26 in SEC play to be exact with 6 successful outcomes. I will never forget the mismanagement of that final game.
