Stovall who is supposed to be a leader on this team has come up twice with men on base in scoring position and twice he's done nothing. Is he still nursing an injury? I knw that was the pass we gave him all year last yr.
It is telling that we have him in the 3-hole. We are sorely lacking bats. With mangum hitting 1st and Stovall 3rd, we will see a bunch of 4-5 pitch 1st innings and innings they both come up this seasonQuote:

Oh well, maybe we can get our first run of the season tomorrow. :(
Hatcher is really impressive, and Rowdy seems ok. That gives us them +mangum+Stovall (he's a better hitter than today, we all know that)+Vansau+Macnamee. That's 6 gook to ok hitters. Need one of the 2 Cs to not be a waste of space and maybe one of the other freshman to come on, and if LA can hit just .250 that's a lineup that won't be bad. Won't be killer, but won't take us out of running for a host spot either.
I mean, it sucks for the guy. But it also sucks that there is a 35 man limit that we HAVE TO abide by. It's not anything personal- we have to take the best 35 at that time and there isn't anyone on the team that was obviously worse at the time. Even Mike Smith who you could maybe debate- he was a senior who could run and play good defense and while he may not have been as good a hitter for average his speed alone made him more valuable because his hits were more than likely going to be doubles and triples and allowed us a lot more versatility on a team that had some deficiencies on defense in the outfield with Rooker and Humphreys.Quote:

Like I said- him trying out again and working to make improvements in his game was an option for him and he chose to go somewhere else. I'm glad he gets to tell his kids about the time he kicked our ass in on the weekend. The guys that beat him out will be telling their kids what it was like to play pro ball, win the SEC and play in SR's.
Usm is beating us so bad they are not even paying attention to batting order
It's only one out because it has to be caught at the time.
Nobody even covering. Clueless. That's poor coaching.
Maybe we do suck. This is just awful
It's one thing to not be able to hit, but our heads are not even in the damn game.
Turned out it sucked for us. Dude is a good hitter. Yes, we got by without him fine but he would have been a good hitting option to have had on the bench.Quote:

My hot take FWIW- we need to find a way to get Jordan Anderson into the lineup. Even if that means sitting Vansau or MacNamee.Quote:

Don't be suprised if small doesn't look as great Tmr as we thought he would have. Maybe he just looked good in scrimmages bc of who he's been facing.
We have hit 5 batters today.
Good gosh.
Ha. TrueQuote:

I know this game is toast so we gotta save our pen to go all in for the next two days but we may never get out of this inning with liebelt. Pitch mangum or anybody.
Who knows? Maybe he would have just kept thinking he had it made and still wouldn't have made improvements.Quote:

This is about as embarrassing a performance as i can imagine
Man. 11-0. Goodness.
I agree. Sheesh.Quote:

My going theory now is that USM has invented a gravity machine and are using it to keep his pitches from the strike zone. Or maybe the strikezone hurt leibelt in his no-no box, and he's now scared to go near itQuote:

not to overreact, but JOSH HATCHER FOR CLOSER***
I had to turn it off in the 5th inning. Embarrassing
Has Macnamee made contact all day? Foul?
Are you the most negative fan or is it 7? Damn man don't put down Small and He hasn't even pitched yet. This is baseball, it is a long season. We will be fine. Coach Can knows who to play.Quote:
