If he's on, goodnight... he's a k pitcher and we're very susceptible to swinging and missing
The guy hit 3 batters and walked 2 before getting anyone ready in the bullpen. They got one hit they scored five runs in the eighth. He is coaching for game 3.Quote:

I hope not, but I'll believe it when I see it. He's in butch's ear now I'm sureQuote:

I guess..I wouldn't bring in Price or Self with us already losing. And McQuary, Barlow and Jolly don't really throw strikes consistanly either, but at least they haven't proven they couldn't today, unlike Barton.Quote:

Without walks or hit batters this game is a W for us instead 17-8. Just tells you how important throwing strikes on the freaking mound is.
So he needs 17 more hours to heal? Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it. I hope to God they don'tQuote:

Still don't understand why Self has ZERO starts on the year.
17-8 Auburn wins it. We have Self and Price mostly rested so they should get a ton of them this next game. No Msstate7 I don't think they pitch Mize.
That'd be huge then. Have self ready to go at first sign of troubleQuote:

I'll give Cann and Henderson credit for not using our best in a losing effort. Would've been easy to go to self down 2 in 7thQuote:

Trying to win the sec can make coaches make shortsighted decisions. I'm sure the kid is trying to get the ball, which could be a bad decision for him career wiseQuote:

All I'm going to say about this- I'm tired of pitchers that don't attack the zone and challenge hitters. It pisses me off. Having 10+ BB's and HBP's is unacceptable.
Now let's kick their ass in game two.
Agreed. Auburn is a feast or famine offensive team. But if you look at their stats they had maybe 2-3 hard hit balls all night and scored most of their runs off of our wildness. 7 walks 5 HPB that lead to 12 of their 17 runs is a tragedy.Quote:

Yeah, it sucks. I hate losing players like him every year. Could you imagine adding a player like Austin Riley to this team who could have been our starting third baseman and be a shut down pitcher out of the bullpen? This team would be that much better. Instead he takes the $1.5 million to the Braves. I don't really blame them but going to college gets you to the majors quicker and depending on your home situation. You could turn $1.5 million into $6 million easily plus be in position to make the majors that much quicker then just going straight from high school. Also, look at Fenter if he had come here that would have been another quality arm in the bullpen and he was close to coming here. Heck, if Kruger comes back (and they made his number at the last possible second) there's another 10+ HR bat to protect Rooker.Quote:
