I can't even tardmaxx myself into being optimistic about this team or season.

They said earlier that several of our " big hitters" were hitting below 100 in SEC play.

[Show-Me Hog]

Wow. Pop fly misadventures.

Things are shaping up.  Starting to get a good sense of what we have!

Reminds me of the Stan heath era, we don't even have game threads.

Heath would've been a good baseball coach. Low scoring was kinda his thing.

Spot on.

Our SEC hitting stats are pretty bad, and the top half of the order has really struggled against SEC pitching.

Kozeal - .192
Robinett - .160
Kuhio - .095
Stewart - .080

Our starters' ERA in conference is bad as well. Gaeckle's is 5.25, Dietz is 5.56, and Fisher is 7.71.

[Boarat]

Gaeckle belongs in the pen.

[Feral]

Gaeckle belongs in the pen.

Yep.

Last year proved he's a completely different pitcher out of the one versus starting.

I think the problem is that for as deep as our pen supposedly is, our rotation options are limited.

Well that was disappointing sitting through the cold last night.  I expected some effort and fight since it was Norm night.  Our dugout was dead from the jump.

I'm in the minority I'm sure, but I don't like the way Helfrick has called games this year - especially with Gaeckle.  Now, Gabe may just not be a Friday night guy, and that's ok; but he's not pitching with any attitude at all.  And Helfrick sure isn't helping.  

Five position players wore a donut last night.  Totally uninspired effort all around.  Somebody needs to take charge.  And a lot of them need to start living up to their billing.  We may not deserve our ranking, but we're better than this.  We have a lot of heads up asses right now.

But hey, I did get one of those sweet throwback hats.  So I got that going for me.

[BEvERage]

Pitching is asshoe again today

[Feral]

Just turned it on in time to see Souza watch 2 straight pitches right down Broadway and then swing at strike 3 in the dirt.

That's definitely an M.O. for him, but Jesus H. our players seem to collectively have the worst plate approach in the SEC.

Guys like Souza, Kuhio, Slavens, Diggs, et al. are all the same. They'll spot you at least 1 strike, and if you get them 0-2 or 1-2 you can pretty much throw anything and anywhere you want and you've got them.

[Barton Fink]

We still suck

[BleedinRed]

Dave brings in Eves.  Commits a balk.  Gives up a hit that the left fielder fucks up and allows the tying run.  Gives up a 2 run home run.  Hits the next batter.

I've watched DVH make hundreds of galaxy brain moves, but they all seem to be backfiring this year.

Eaves just came unglued in the course of one inning.

Sousa should get into golf. If you throw a pitch near his ankles, he is going to swing at it.

[Cornhogio]

This pitcher is clowning our guys.

[Son of Spam]

DVH looks like he is cussing under his breath as he walks out to yank one of our pitchers.
