Hogs vs Florida—-Baseball

[Son of Spam]

It looks like we are back to the "go up and swing as hard as you can" approach. Hell, just make contact. And how the hell does a runner score from first on a missed pickoff attempt at first? We should have won that game by a score of 4-2. We gave them the run from first, then a 3 run HR. If, and I mean IF we get a regional, we won't come out of it again. Every team we play now throws us low and outside and we bite every time. They have all read the book on our hitters.

I'm still trying to figure out how the Florida guy hit that pitch out.  It was almost as high as the one little Aloy swung at and missed over his head.  Just getting metal on it seemed nearly impossible, much less enough to get it over the wall.

No shit. I thought it might just be a fly ball. It was nearly shoulder high.

Looks more like we are finally playing teams with a pulse and finding out we aren't that good.

This narrative is dumb. We swept Vandy (on the road), who is ranked, and took 2 out of 3 (on the road) against a ranked Ole Miss team.

This is what I see too.

Now do the last 7 games.

That went well

Wood looks great. Completely unlike last week.

Bats getting colder and colder.

Still throwing a lot of high balls though. The velocity is there, but he needs to keep it down.

That philosophy on pitching is evolving some due to analytics, trackman, spin rate etc.

Some pitchers are better at the top of the zone while others are better down in the zone. I have no idea where they want Wood working. Just pointing out, that he may not be missing.

Bottom 4th.

Gaeckle in to pitch for Wood. (Per DVH on the in-game interview, they were only planning on Wood going 2 but allowed him to go 3 because of how well he was pitching). Final stats on Wood: 3.0 IP, 1H, 5K

Shelton up. Runs the count full. Pops out to SS. Good job by Gaeckle to work back from 3-0. 1 away. 

Lawson up. Fouls out to Iredale. Play under review to see if it hit the net first. (Looks like a clean out to me). Call stands. 2 away.

Heyman up. Strikes out but the ball gets away from
Helfrick, who's able to chase it a ways and throw to Peppi in time for the out.

0-0 after 4

Maybe Iredale's bat has awakened.

[Barton Fink]

Getting some much needed good bounces this inning.

[Son of Spam]

@Feral you are doing a great job. We are moving you into the lineup.

[Sus-Scrofa]

That'll work
