SBW Game 1 Thread (the return of Stovall)

[MarketingBully]

The stat line on this game is ridiculous. KY has 3 hits and 3 errors yet hold at least a 3 run lead going into the bottom of the 9th.

8 walks. Price pitched 11 balls and 5 strikes. Two pitchers came in on 2-0 counts.

Surprise me dawgs... get a rally going

[confucius say]

Squeeze, do it

I was listening on radio and was saying same thing

[MaroonFlounder]

Congrats to Mingione. He will leave here with a series win, if not a sweep.

[HoopsDawg]

Lovelady got to sit tomorrow

Stovall was the player of the year in high school as a catcher. Put him there.

It was obvious to me. Kentucky's closer is unbelievable

Put someone that isn't on a conveyor belt to the backstop

SBW curse

I said I wouldn't be back this season to watch em on SBW after the turds they've had the last 2 years

Due to him throwing 2 plus innings Wednesday prob. Was not sharp.

That's part of the problem. Skelton isn't a lot better right now than Lovelady defensively. We're almost as thin at other positions as we are at pitcher.

[Shake 'n Bake]

I hate we pitched price, he was completely gassed Wednesday. WE can't afford to have him give down.

[Todd4State]

We've had multiple chances to score runs with less than 2 outs with some of our best hitters up and NONE of them came through. Major choke job tonight.

We do some things really well. But then we are AWFUL at other things. There isn't an in between for our players.

We walk too many people, we strike out too much, and then we have to be leading the country in guys picked off of first base and strikeout/wild pitches.

Rooker is probably the best hitter in college baseball right now but with the rest of what's around him if we make a regional and it ends there its been a successful year given the shape this team is in. We don't have enough arms an we only have about 3 or 4 real hitters in the lineup. Tough to do anymore than just make postseason with that recipe. We did a lot of little things right last weekend to sweep OM but tonight the little things were not done well and we lose. Our margin for error to win against quality SEC opponents is razor thin.

How many pass balls tonight? 4 wild pitches and some of those lovelady should've stopped

I hate that someone thought it was a great idea to play a two game midweek series in the middle of SEC play. It probably screwed us tonight at least to a degree. Someone other than Price has to step up. Riley Self come on down?

Pretty sure Tuesday was a sign that I failed to see. We have been playing above our heads and regression in progress.

We need a win tomorrow really bad

Too many. I would be all for a change there but the fact of the matter is there really aren't very many options. It has been a problem all year. I can't get too pissed about it because like I said there aren't very many options and there are none that have proven to be better. I don't want Stovall back there with his hamstring issues. Honestly as long as they're putting out a satisfactory effort and if they have a winning season and go to a regional- which I still think we will probably- I'm fine with that from this team.

I agree. A regional is a good season. Can't afford to get swept this weekend.

Or maybe that's what they get for going all in on our two game series. I've heard conflicting information about that. Still you can't compare baseball scores or scores for any sport. USM beat us and then lost to Ole Miss the other night. Of course we swept Ole Miss.
