Well a sweep is a sweep
Stinnett has lost his release point- bailed out by a dodgy call
Yeah but no swing
Nail biter to the end, ump says, it's time to go home.
Whew. I'm glad to get the sweep, but we played about as poorly as you could while still being able to get three wins. This team is still a long way away.
wow, bad call. I'll take it. Sweep. One more sweep and we will be back on track of winning 2 out of every 3.
Ooh, I'd be pissed if that was us, lol. I'll take the ump's grace though. Huge sweep.
He broke the plane. That was absolutely a swing. Ump got it right.
Oh I'd be pissed too, but he got it right...barely.
18 pitches by Sims this weekend. We have got to manage our pitching better
Absolutely. He only pitched 2 innings against LSU and 2 against UK.
He is too dominant to only pitch 2 innings in a weekend...
I'm throwing him 2 innings every Friday and Sunday
I agree that Sims needs to pitch more. But too many folks want to pitch McLeod, Fristoe, Bednar, Sims, Brandon Smith, and Harding only. We’ve got to get some of these guys opportunities. We will need them late in the year. We have to continue to develop this bullpen. Too much talent in it. Having said that, Sims is electric and has to be in high leverage situations.
Fristoe is our Sunday guy. He's earned it and will be a good Friday guy next year.
Sims should have closed today- not Stinnett. His balls were sweating today out there and he was missing badly at times. He's solid and needs to pitch- but he isnt a closer. Sims is a Closer. Ridiculous to chance it after he only threw 18 pitches last night. I did like the way we matched up in the 8th- but chancing it like we did in the 9th was very risky
Agree to disagree. I think Stinnett has closer written all over him. He does need to improve his control a little.
Also, Sims was throwing 96 consistently in his first inning yesterday. In the 2nd inning it dropped down to 91-92. Lowest velo I've seen from him all year. I'm sure that's something the staff was considering.
Fristoe is still the Sunday guy. I really like Fristoe. But you use an opener like Sims and then turn it over to Fristoe. It's a relatively new, but very solid strategy. Fristoe showed vs LSU he can pitch good coming out of the pen. So Sims 2-3 innings and then Fristoe 5-6. That's only in cases where Sims doesn't see the mound Friday or Saturday. I expect those instances to be rare.
