Well at least our girls have some stones. Down 6-1 top 7 they score 7 then turn bases loaded double play to end the game 8-6.

OM must of borrowed one of our boys for the bases loaded situation

[I seen it dawg]

Yea this one was painful, really really need the next two. nothing against Preston I wish we'd shuffle the rotation. Think he'd be much more successful on Sundays and winning Fridays is so important

+48 billion. He would be great against their number 3 and Sexton and Tatum are our 1-2 anyway. Screw the "experience". We need dynamic on Fridays. That's Sexton.

No offense to the ladies' teams but its ridiculously sad that we essentially have to take consolation in our women's basketball and women's softball teams because of the putrid play of our men's basketball and baseball teams.

[Bothrops]

Leave it to the gals to add some blue sky.

I'm worried about our baseball program. I don't know what we can do to avoid severe embarrassment down the stretch. I see good teams breaking records against us.

Kudos. Nothing against him at all. But he's going to struggle on Fridays in this league. Period

I agree with this as well. Preston is an above average college pitcher, and though tonight was his first really bad outing, he is not someone I would characterize as an SEC Friday night shut down guy. Problem is though I'm not sure that kind of guy I on our staff. However I think Sexton and Tatum at least probably have more potential to be that guy than Brown.

Damn straight about that. Nice win ladies.

Ladies have more balls than our men.. Way to ****ing battle... Congrats to them ..

I agree with all of this. I'd like to see Laster pitch more on the weekends in some role now that Ross and Fitts have apparently forgotten how to pitch.

I think Sexton and Tatum are better right now. Both are starting to come into their own. Hudson has the most talent on the staff- but apparently he has Evan Mitchell disease I guess. I hope he has Chris Stratton disease though. Other than the double and hitting a guy, he wasn't too bad tonight. McCord has SEC weekend talent, but he's just a freshman right now and isn't ready yet.

Mintz looks like he could be serviceable for at least a couple of innings, and I thought Waddell did OK until he got tired at the end.

IMO the best pitcher right now is Sexton, but Laster is the second best at this moment.

We just aren't good. You can't win when you can't hit. Bottom line. Cohen is hell bent on a bunch of singles hitters. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, big I think we are the only team in the league without a hitting coach.

Mingione is the hitting coach.

[War Machine Dawg]

Mingione is the bunting coach.

FIFY

Back in '13, did we have Adidas bats or Easton bats?

Doesn't matter, both suck. There's a reason most teams are using Louisville Slugger. But the problem isn't what bats we're using. It's our approach to offense and the way we're teaching "hitting."
