Oh cool, we got Florida announcers :rolleyes:

Yep, brace yourselves for a very terrible broadcast

Yep. These guys are already terrible

Dang. This pitcher looks sharp.

I?d love to see what our pitches per inning v our opponents is

Small can't locate as good as usual. He's still killing them but his pitch count is going to limit him. Floridas guy is really good, and we're helping by biting on some really off the plate stuff/swinging early as stuff we can't handle

Hatcher looked comfortable as heck up there, nice ab

ROWDYS SPECS ARE BACK

Unfortunately for an infield pop up....

Rowdey needs to sit. He's pulling off everything and is making extremely weak contact when he does hit it.

Mangum sees 3 pitches and has 2 groundouts. I love him to death but really wish he'd stop being so liberal with what he swings at

Yep, he doesn't have good timing and when he does time it up he barely catches the top/bottom of the ball. I don't see much reason for optimism either. If the stayy doesn't think Cumbest is up for it can't we stick Hatcher in lf, and DH Jordon/Jones?

AND therein is why he doesn't get drafted high.

Looked like he was out at first.

Wanna be tony romo’s.

Here’s a bunt, here’s a hit and run.... wrong. shut up and announce.

Of Halter would stay on the ball quit trying to pull off it, he may hit it hard...

aaaaaaannnd 2 weak grounders on 1 strike counts. Drives me crazy. If you can't square it up don't swing before 2 strikes. We gift him easy outs by not making him pitch

Their pitcher is absolutely carving us up. The balls we do hit are extremely weak. He's only thrown 43 pitches thru 4 innings. Ethan better stay sharp.

Why? I think his approach has proven to be effective consistently.
