MSU vs UGA game 2 Thread..

Runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs... And we score nothing.

I hate it when we bunt early in the game against a pitcher who's struggling- we need to attack him. And then bad ABs by Randolph and Britton.

[Will James]

Polk didn't bunt enough

Disagree

[MarketingBully01]

I agree Engie especially since we were depending on Randolph and Britton to bring them home. It would be different if the top of the order was getting them home.

[maroonmania]

And then Britton shows why his average is .176. With the bottom two hitters coming up, why bunt?

I agree, with the 8 and 9 hitters coming up there is no reason to give away an out.

This guy's strike zone is tight as hell.

[Coach34]

You get a gift 2-2 Britton and then keep the bat on your shoulder 3-2.

Swing the damn bat!!!!!!

never understood how someone can take that...I played from the time I 3 until I finished juco- and I can say I never took an inside fastball for strike 3. Not once

[preachermatt83]

what the crap was wrong with that pitch???

[Will James]

Sac bunting early is frigging stupid. For the amount it helps you get one run, it takes you out of a big inning. There is literally no point to it. 2 on no outs -- and we take ourselves right out of an inning again.

I'd love for someone to ask about their thought process on that -- based on the sabermetric realities of college ball...

Dayum quit talkin about the buuuunt** (Everyone to me in 2012)

Agreed that we dont question things in baseball to the coaches like other sports. Cohen never gets challenged it seems.

me either.. I couldn't if I would have wanted too. .my body wouldn't have let me. lol

Britton is a stud defender. I love him playing third when P. Brown and Mitchell pitch.

[Coach34]

if Detz is at 3rd- that's a hit

[preachermatt83]

Mitchell special.. DP!

[preachermatt83]

if Detz is at 3rd- that's a hit

agreed.

Polk never bunt. Early, late, close score, Never...

That's because you went dawg61 with your approach to it. I always agreed with your premise about about it -- just not the nature with which you constantly beat everyone over the head with it.

[preachermatt83]

I'd rather bunt too little than too much

[Coach34]

Polk never bunt. Early, late, close score, Never...

there are times for it- but never before the damn 7th inning- EVER

[preachermatt83]

Mitchell bout to get outta this jam with a gb... watch.

Yeah, I think I struck out a half dozen times looking period... maybe less. I was always way more likely to swing at a ball than to take a strike...

Of course, I was taught a 2 strike approach at the plate as well -- to spread out, choke up, and put it in play. Something Cohen rejects in the traditional sense...

I blame Cohen for the approach. Continued opportunities to bash. 26 in SEC play to be exact with 6 successful outcomes. I will never forget the mismanagement of that final game.
