Needs pitches. Needs to face some adversity and needed to work into the 90s. We had the runs to play with too. If you trust your bullpen and your players you still win this game. But hopefully Ginn learned a little today.Quote:

Now they're right back in it. What a dumb move. First head scratcher by our coaching staff. You gotta close out a 7-1 lead and road series win at a top 5 team. Can't screw around and leave a guy out there that is clearly done
Your views on this vs Rowdey are ironicQuote:

Hopefully we can get some runs back with Florida now in the field in the pouring rain.
Westburg made a couple nice plays there. The Halter throw was probably due to a wet ball.Quote:

Pitching and hitting are so different it's amazing you think their situations are comparable.
It’s pouring down rain and that benefits the ones batting not fielding.Quote:

We need Ginn to be able to reflect on this. He will sit with Foxhall and talk about the mental approach of what Ginn felt when he got tired and started losing his control. It will be a valuable learning experience because he's never faced adversity before as a starter in college. Face it now so you can learn from it and use it when the games truly matter.
I am concerned about Halter and his ability to play 2nd. I cringe every time a ball is hit his way just because I don't feel comfortable with it going there.
I'm the same way with Westy at SSQuote:

Damn, it sure seems we have looked at a lot of called third strikes this series. Maybe we have, but I don't have a count.
Take out Westburg's and it hasn't been manyQuote:
