Now they get a leadoff double

Have they had 3 lead off doubles today?

[HoopsDawg]

If you are a catcher why do you try to bunt for a basehit? Skelton has made so many **** ups that he doesn’t deserve to be out there. If I was coach and he did that on his own, Gilbert would immediately go in.

Skelton has been successful with the bunt base hit a couple of times but that was simply not the spot to do it.

OSU can swing the bats. We are pretty fortunate this isn't worse than it is. Still in it, but only just.

Several studies say it can't rise either - the lift from the best pitcher = about 0.5G which makes a slow fall.

Yeah, I know about the studies, and that's probably true with a baseball thrown by a human. If a machine did it with enough spin, it might happen. Studies also say that a curve ball can't curve (curves basically go down, not side to side), but they can drop faster than a fast ball would do, so it's aiding gravity and falling faster.

Some studies also say the same thing about a golf ball ... that it can't curve, can't rise ... but I guarantee you that it can do both.

Announcers and fans also speak about a pitcher's "velocity", when what they really mean is "speed". They speak of him having a velocity of 95 mph, for example, but don't mention direction. Velocity is a vector quantity that has both direction and speed. A mere technicality.

Back to the game ... we're getting hammered ... figuratively.

Now they get a leadoff double

Guarantee he scores

[Liverpooldawg]

My guess is they are 1 in the same.

Your guess would be wrong.

[West Tn Dawg]

Shut the 17 up

Post like yours are embarrassing

No, all these professional coaches are embarrassing. As soon as we get down in a game they all become experts.
Don't think I will be shutting up!

[CadaverDawg]

I'm sorry, but we are not beating this team. Not today, not tomorrow, not this year. We've got freshmen looking clueless and 2-0 count bunting catchers....they've got guys trying to knock the damn fence down with line drives. Men vs Boys

OSU can swing the bats. We are pretty fortunate this isn't worse than it is. Still in it, but only just.

The thing is, with all the good ABs we've had, if we would have just had decent ABs in the other ones we could easily have 4+ runs.

[RocketDawg]

Did I hear him say that they were confiscating bananas at the gate because of the "no outside food or beverage" rule? They're being a little nitpicky ... I doubt anyone intended to eat the banana they bring in, and I doubt they sell them at the concession stand.

[I seen it dawg]

Getting that guy is shocking

[preachermatt83]

Take this bullshit somewhere else. Damn

Yes!! Good grief he is liver is the whiniest little fella I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s like a constant crying.

[ShotgunDawg]

At least James is challenging them

[I seen it dawg]

Ball muther****ing 1

[Liverpooldawg]

The seems on a baseball can absolutely make it rise.

I don't know about actually rising, but it can slow the rate of descent.....at least a little. That can make it appear to rise. I tend to agree that it would be next to impossible to generate enough loft to overcome downward trajectory and gravity on an overhand thrown ball.

[CadaverDawg]

Getting that guy is shocking

He was shocked too ha

[preachermatt83]

Skelton must be the guy buying the bananas. No other reason he keeps playing.

Ha!!! +1

[Bulldog1]

I wish we'd just throw first pitch strikes!!!

[Liverpooldawg]

Yes!! Good grief he is liver is the whiniest little fella I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s like a constant crying.

Where do you preach again?

[Dawg61]

Threads like this are when I miss C34 banning stupid ****ers that would rather argue other posters than post about the game.
