94 low paint on the outside...that’s unfair Sims
Ball Game. Whew
Sims probably can pitch one on Saturday.
played poorly but still one. great job PJ and LS.
Another win for the daWgs
Skinner is hitting sub 100 vs LHP and sub 200 vs RHPQuote:

Ugly ass game and we got a lot of help, but a lot of teams lose games like this. Let's come out and smash these dudes tomorrow and Saturday, because they're not good
I would love to have just one ab against sims. I just have to see the spin on this kids pitches.
Aye, lol.Quote:

Lol, that's what I said.Quote:

And his BA is .205. Somehow, your stats don't add up. Regardless, he is not hitting well at allQuote:

Well it looked like we were playing to lose. Had no energy. I am glad that Skinner got the walk to start the winning inning. I will say I was wrong about the team tonight. They just looked dead in the water
We generally sit him vs LHP... I was just going from SEC only stats that I stopped compilingQuote:

I like Skinner and he is damn elite defensively. He may be like Rowdy and just need at bats.Quote:

There is no perfect solution but the last 2 games were not it. Some lineups just gel and feed off each other better. Even when individual numbers look poor at spots but the aggregate is better overall.Quote:

It’s too late for that, not enough season left for him to the AB’s for us to see if he can turn it around. Rowdy also has a track record of starting cold but after 36 AB’s he started climbing up. We just can’t afford that gamble going into and through Regionals.Quote:

I don?t think Skinner is a bad gamble, you got to invest in players. He?s batting in the 9 hole, after allQuote:

Yeah, very huge difference between Bradfield and Skinner
Uhhhhh no he's notQuote:

Literally not competitive in 4 plate appearances. I love the kid too. I think once he starts seeing the ball better at the plate he will be around a .275 guy with a little pop. He just isn't ready and we do not need to give up 4 outs a game.Quote:

Because without the 3-2 count Tanner Allen would have been out at second.Quote:

Acting like that is how you get eliminated in a regional. Hopefully Lemonis kicked some guys in the ass tonight.
It's a game thread. I've learned to avoid them like the plague. LOLQuote:

They're an sec team. They're now 5-20 in sec, but 8 of those losses are by 2 runs or less. Of our 17 sec wins, 7 of them are by 2 runs or less. There's a fine line in this conference. I felt confident we'd get the win, but I refused to get mad bc we weren't steamrolling themQuote:

Baseball is a marathon. Any team can win on any given day, especially in the SEC.
Oh i was bitching just not online with it. I am much much more concerned with real life right now.Quote:
