UGH at UGA

[OLJWales]

I really need Arkansas to win tonight so we can announce Jans before he is even out of his press conference. We need some good news.

No. The further he goes the more exciting the presser will be. We can Wait.

[NCDawg]

This game was lost defensively. 2 ground balls(Hancock, Forsyth), 2 fly balls(James,cumbest) and a ball Logan Tanner boxed. We shouldn't have given up more than 3 runs in this game. Uga made every play on defense and we made zero.

We need somebody like that guy on your sign-in. Wouldn't hurt to have a Whitey Ford type pitcher also.

Pressure is on to NOT get swept. I think there was a reason for Cade pitching Sunday. Now we will see if it worked.

Gotta get Hunt well, he along with Sims and Cade were the top 3 in fall and pre spring practice. I'm betting after this weekend we will see some changes in pitching rotation.

I think like many we are hitting better, but back end pitching is not looking good.

Back end pitching isn't going to get any better. there's just a lack of quality arms there.

That would definitely help!

It also gives our wonderful AD more time to potentially screw it up, which he is more than capable of doing.

Not a lack of quality arm talent, just a lack of consistent strike throwers.

You just brought back Schloss Nightmares.

And the word ‘adroitly’ doesn’t exactly come to mind with the way he’s handled it so far.

Exactly. It would be in our best interest for NMSU to put up a spirited effort but fall short and have the university jet en route to get him before the final horn sounds.

I'm not gonna by that insurance for now and go without coverage hoping NMSU advances. Can you imagine how exciting it woulda be for him making the Elite 8 or something and Cohen not screwing up? Plus I prefer Pigs Squealing knowing bacon is on the way than them enjoying a mud bath.

It's both......

See I think Fristoe and Tepper have all the arm talent in the world, but they just cannot find the strike zone with any consistency. Same with Tullar. He has wipeout stuff but zero consistency.

[HoopsDawg]

Not sure what we can change there. Stinnett is limited to being a starter. So that creates a lack of flexibility. I kind of doubt Hunt is ready to jump back into the rotation at this point. My guess is we see him against Southern. Cade obviously has to stay in the rotation. So the only thing left to do is move Preston back to the pen but even then we would have to wait on Hunt to be ready.

The only thing we could do is move Stinnett to Friday's. We are outmanned all season on Friday nights. Our best chance to get to a regional is to win Sat/Sun games. Maybe Preston and Cade with Hunt/B. Smith/Auger out of the pen gives us the best chance to do that. Basically we would just throw off on Friday's or Stinnett gets hot and we win a few Friday night games.

Then do it right - start fristoe on Friday and save stinnett for pen.

Tepper and Fristoe I would agree with. Tullar is a matchup guy. If we have to use him other than that, which we have, we're in trouble. The rest I would say are very average for SEC standards. The frosh (Walker, Kohn and Cheatham)just aren't ready for SEC.

I'm good with starting Stinnett on Friday's because I could see him catching lightning in a bottle every now and then. If he pitches like he did against Texas Tech I could see us stealing some Friday's.

Stinnett can not come out of the bullpen. Mentally he just can't do it.

Foxhall hasn't put them in a lot of situations to succeed in my opinion as well. It seems like they come in with the bases loaded and no one out after Tullar can't figure things out again or after Brandon Smith is on his third or fourth inning and worn out.

He's putting guys that are trying to pitch to contact into strikeout situations.

Stinnett has been garbage out of the pen, so I think you start him. I think you have two options...

1) What Todd said...Stinnett on Friday in hopes that every 2-3 starts you can steal one when he's "on". That still gives you Preston and Cade on Sat and Sun to try to win the series.

2) Fristoe on Friday. Forces him to grow up and figure it out, and worst case we get blown out. Then you start Stinnett on Saturday and put Preston back in the pen to piggyback off of Stinnett. Then Cade and your best bullpen arms (if there is such a thing), on Sunday to try to win a rubber game.

It's a no for me to start Stinnett on Friday, he hasn't shown he can handle the pressure and Friday starters usually are teams best options for the pressure. I'd move he or hopefully Hunt to Sunday. But we shall see today how this situation goes, gotta hit, Georgia is a veteran club that can hit and looks to play decent defense.

Literally the only time I've ever seen Stinnett perform was after some of our fans trashed him on social media after Tulane and then he came to "collect receipts" after Texas Tech.

Says a lot about him to me honestly.
