Alabama Game 3 thread

[starkvegasdawg]

Just let them hit!!!!! ****!!! Let them ****ing just take a normal at bat! You don't have to put something on EVERY TIME the lead off guy gets on dummy.

Someone needs to remind him that back in the 90's the braves had one of the best pitching staffs in the history of MLB and Bobby Cox still rarely bunted except in certain situations.

[shoeless joe]

Would like to have seen out best hitter get an opportunity to just hit rite there.

Rea is seeing the ball really well rite now. That's one reason he struck out earlier...he knew the pitch was off the plate.

Does Bama bullshit with a lead off guy on? No they hit a double.

[smootness]

Has it not gotten even worse this year? I don't remember Cohen auto-bunting literally every single time the leadoff man gets on like we are this year.

[Smitty]

Rea can scoop it but damn he's got to get that ball. Wtf.

bases loaded and they don't. I'm afraid we're gonna screw around and lose this series. Cohen has got to be the biggest micromanaging mf'er to ever step foot on a diamond.

Difference in the game so far - we chose to take the bat out of our best hitter's hands. Because baseball, or something.

So why has he gone back to this? Any theories? We definitely have more pop in the lineup this year than we did last year. And our pitching may not be as good overall.

Bama is getting all the ****ing 2 out hits with runners in scoring position. We can't buy a hit with runners in scoring position. That and our shitty bullpen is the difference in this series.

And Tatum hanging that shit on an 0-2 count in inexcusable. You have to understand the situation there.

[DudyDawg]

Bout tired of this team not having the sack to make a play when you need it. Maybe that three seed projection wasn't too far off

[chef dixon]

Tatum's got to waste that pitch on 0-2.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Tatum's made about three bad pitches all day, but they've taken full advantage. We haven't taken advantage of any of their mistakes.

Atta boy hump

[Smitty]

Holy crap we need runs dumbass. What does tying it in the 4th do???

Cohen severely handcuffs this team. It's disgraceful.

[TopDog58]

Bunt him over!

[msstate7]

Will Robson squeeze?

There is no explanation. He is dumb. Especially with our bullpen.

[smootness]

What. the. crap. are. we. DOING?!?!

Good gosh, that literally only serves to put an out on the board. Doesn't help us in trying to score a run at all.

[smootness]

There is no explanation. He is dumb. Especially with our bullpen.

But he obviously backed off the last couple years, and now he's back to doing it again. So it's not something he just can't keep himself from doing; it's clearly an intentional decision to do that with this team for some reason. And yes, it definitely is dumb, and it's killing us right now.
