Well......allen never swings at the first pitch and it was his pitch to drive. Mangum always swings, and chases out of the zone. Geiautreax needs to have a convo with these guys.

We are facing 2 of the Top 15 pitchers in the conference on the road. Shit happensQuote:

Not sure why Self is on the mound right now
Announcer said "Allen probably swung at ball 3" as if that low FB hasn't been a strike 50% of the time. Allen had to defend. His problem was that he expected an inside FB, tried to pull it, and so he missed the ball over the middle of the plate. Probably would have fouled it off if he'd stayed on it. Oh well. Game's not over with Mac and Foscue coming up though
He beaned Mangum, then walked Westy, no way Allen can swing at the first pitch there. The 1-1 pitch was the pitch to hammer and he just missed the double down the line.Quote:

I wish self would just throw strikes. We need a dp ball not 2 back to back 4 pitch walks.
Some pitchers can walk batters. Self absolutely can not. Especially the lead off man.Quote:

Self starting this inning is not what I would have done
He is dead on. The dude's zone sucks, but it consistently sucks nothing wrong with that,Quote:

Lol, can I say ballgame now?
And that’s why you don’t start Self in the eighth.
Really shocking that we tried to squeeze 2 innings out of Self tonight. Not sure what Lemonis/Foxall were thinking.Quote:

Oh well maybe tomorrow
It was dumb as shit if you thought you could win this game.Quote:

LOL @ those saying Gilbert was better than Halter on defense.
If Gilbert starts the game, he doesn’t make that goof up.
Westburg HAS to go get that ball. What the hell is he doing just standing there?
go look at @tberk20 on twitter. Former MSU player. He has a good pic of the strike on Rowdey. If you coach your team to swing at that, then I would love to play you every game.Quote:

How is a big guy like self not pitch harder than 85?
delete
Why would I coach my team to do that? But in game you adjust. That pitch isn't a strike. It's a garbage pitch and he shouldn't swing.Quote:

Guess Self took away any drama to this game.
Well in the long run you are trading a loss here for two possible wins. Arkansas pitching from here on out is a crap shoot and Ginn is probably the leagues best Sunday starter. Just wasn’t our night. We can get the tail end of the series.
