Fla 6-2 over OM in the 5thā¦need to win today to be tied with them
Iād like to go into Oxford next week tied with OM. It will be hard to win the series there, so itās likely weāll leave Oxford at least one game behind them. Thatās not too big a problem. I sure donāt want to go into that series one game down. Of course, I donāt give up on the idea of winning that seriesāor even sweeping it for that matterābut OM is a good team. Itāll be tough on the road.
Wow. We never seem to start well.
Crap. I just got the game turned on & weāre already down 2-0 with Lockhart throwing his 8th pitch. Do we just not want to make this easy?
Iām betting our want to is there but our execution is not.
Weāre accustomed to this position.
Pitch down the middle go a long way
They are making defensive playsā¦
Goodheart rolling over everything
There have been a lot of weak infield hits in this series.
Does this team have too much of a HR mentality?
I see a lot of trying to pull the ball. good heart is at his best to be driving the ball to all fields like he did his first year here
There was a lot of discussion about this one of baseball podcasts this week. Talking about how we look the most like an MLB team in our hitting approach. Donāt care about average if you can hit enough home runs. Supposedly the analytics support this.
Donāt remember if it was D1 Baseball or Baseball America. I heard both of them and canāt remember which one this came up in.
Iām ready for some early offense. My heart canāt take another game where we donāt get untracked until the 7th inning.
Just not getting good swings, this guy came in over 5 era 19 hits 15 inn and really havenāt even got a good barrell on him
Lack of good contact,
At some point it would be nice for our pitchers to avoid a first inning homer! Man this becomes pretty old real quick.
We are still doing nothing with the bats. Theyāre getting quick outs.
How many double plays have we hit into the last 3 days? Wowā¦
