Rubber Match vs Long Beach State

[Todd4State]

It always seemed if Mangum was hitting, the whole team hit. If he slumped, the same...

Look at Rowdey Sat. He hit the ball really well and the whole team responded.

We need someone on the leadoff spot who is consistent. Or more consistent what Rowdey...

Tanner Allen needs to leadoff or hit second. Rowdey needs to be somewhere between 6-9.

Tanner Allen May very well have a broken wrist... waiting on x rays...

I think Tanner Allen is the guy if he plays again this year. Better at spoiling pitches and can do damage. Obviously not the speed you want but that's not what we need necessarily right now. We need someone who can battle and set the table. A healthy Allen fits that bill.

Lemonis saying he is concerned about the x Rays is not a good sign.

We played a good complete game Sat. That?s how good we can be.

I don?t think the line up order is doing us any favors. We need a legit lead off man... Someone needs to step up. Rowdey isn?t it. He is too streaky.

Furthermore, our approach at the plate sucks sometimes. We let fastballs right down the plate go by, then swing at a slider in the dirt. I just don?t understand. When we had 1st and 3rd With no outs, we had a chance to end them. We score some runs there, it?s over. We didn?t. Rowdey has a shit approach and then Westburg had an even shittier one. After that, it was like we lost all hope. We made errors and went back to the horrible plate approach.

I do think we pull it together at some point. The season is young. LBSU wasn?t wry good, but they were gritty. They made you pay when you made a mistake.

Now I will say, Foscue had two balls, Rowdey had one, and Hatcher had one today that if we are home or any other SEC park, those balls are long gone. That changes the game a lot.

I don?t know whether JG or Lemonis is coaching the hitting, but whichever is, we need to try the other guys approach. Lemonis was suppose to really good hitting coach along with recruiter. Something isn?t working and we need a change this year. We need someone to coach them and not treat them like the majors and let them figure it out, cause they ain?t figuring it out alone...

Now on a side note, the umps were complete shit. I mean COMPLETE shit. Cerentola was getting agitated on the mound. We was having strikes called balls all day. He even threw his hands up a couple times and was like where was that?! Even on Pimentel, he was three steps Sade at first... That wasn?t even close!!


But hey, that?s baseball. Adapt and overcome...

No doubt the umps were completely biased. And when no replay is involved its much easier to get away with it. Replay doesn't help with balls and strikes but at least you can check safe/out calls.

Let me revise my earlier post.

Broken wrist or not, I would still bat him 1st. We need him or Foscue to get as many at bats as possible.

JK, but he probably could do just as good as some 1 handed.
