Rubber match vs Auburn thread

[West Tn Dawg]

Our attendance is not the problem. People that have chairbacks not attending games is our problem. Please tell me you understand this simple, elementary concept

Elementary concept is don't bitch about something if you're not doing your part.

[smootness]

Why do we continue to leave pitchers in who clearly don't have it?

[CadaverDawg]

Leave him in til we're beat

[ShotgunDawg]

That's 5 ground ball hits in one inning. Absurd.

Same thing happened on Friday night when Auburn won on basically swinging bunts.

Really unlucky

[ShotgunDawg]

Why do we continue to leave pitchers in who clearly don't have it?

because they haven't really hit the ball hard. These are check swing, weak ground ball hits. Terribly unlucky

Keegan has produced no less than 4 ground balls this inning that could've easily been double plays if they were hit a foot or two to either side

[CadaverDawg]

Get his ass out! He's throwing meat! 6 straight hits.

[mparkerfd20]

Keegan is not going to work. We've got to find someone else. Damn we gonna lose a series we should have swept.

The issue is not even fans not going to games, it's the policies we have in place. There are plenty of people there to fill up those seats...and none of them, including Shotgun even if he was there, can actually fill them up.

Man this inning is pissing me off. That's the 6th hit, all BS weak contact crap that just found a hole. 75% of these contacts end in an out but they've strung 6 hits out of them

[maroonmania]

Now 3-2 Auburn. I think all of Auburn's hits have come off of James' breaking ball. Its now 4-2 off an excuse me swing for a hit on another breaking ball. We are going to deeply regret giving away the Friday game I'm afraid.

[smootness]

Got to go with Plumlee on Sundays.

Can not believe we left James in.

[No BS Dawg]

We will not win many Sunday games with James as the starter. Don't know who else to go with, but a change is needed.

Well, they all look like line drives in the box score as Auburn now outhitting us 8-3.

[HoopsDawg]

Thank you Butch for the bunt.

Plumlee. I know his ERA isn't great but he's pitched better than Keegan. Keegan's BAA is now around .300.

[ZedFedder]

Thank you Butch for the bunt.

Thought the same thing.

[MaroonFlounder]

Keegan always gets barreled up 2nd time thru the order. Even against Maine, he did. He's not a SEC starter, but I guess we are gonna live or die with him on Sundays.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Ultimately James isn't getting it done, but to be fair to him that was incredibly bad luck. Foscue couldn't handle a weak chopper, Westburg couldn't get to a routine grounder, the ball down the line wasn't hit that hard, and a freaking check swing that results in a bloop single. They were not crushing him they just put the ball in play and got lucky

[CadaverDawg]

This would be a bad series loss. Gotta either go Plumlee or feed Cerantola to the wolves, bc Keegan ain't it boys

He didn't get barreled up though, not a single deep fly or line drive was hit that inning. It was all grounders that found a hole and a fluky check swing bloop single
