Hogs vs Bama——Baseball

[Feral]

Top 8th

Adams STILL pitching for Bama (can't blame them).

Edmunson pinch hitting for Underwhelmsmeyer. Grounds out to short.

Lineup flips. Diggs up next. Strikes out weakly on a terrible check swing on a dirt ball. 2 away.

Stovall up. Flies out to LF. Another dogshit 1-2-3 inning at the plate. 

3-0 Bama, mid 8th

Diggs needs glasses

[Feral]

Y'all ready to insta-rage?

After the 3 run 1st inning in game 1, we've scored 5 total runs in the last 26 innings.

Bottom 8th.

Snell up. Belts a leadoff double to RF.

McCants up. Lays down a great bunt that McEntire duffs and McLaughlin drops (would have been safe anyway). Runners at the corners, no outs.

Sleight up. Flies out to deep CF, but it scores Snell and allows McCants to take 2nd. 4-0 Bama. 

Guscette up. McCants steals 3rd and Helfrick overthrows Sandlot, allowing him to score. 5-0 Bama. 
Guscette grounds out to Aloy.

Eblin up. Grounds out to Stovall.

5-0 Bama to the 9th

How many has our pitching given up?

[Guardrail]

So the number 1 team in all the land getting blanked by a freshman with a 4+ ERA. Awesome.

If we had some hitters, we would be deadly. I don't see a CWS win this year...yet.

[Cardiac Hog]

We're not the best team in the country.  Not with this offense.  I'll be glad to see us drop from that #1 ranking, maybe take some pressure off the team.

Yep. Seems like teams have figured our pitching out, too.

[Feral]

Top 9th. Last chance for the Hogs, trailing 5-0.

Sandlot leads off. Grounds out to short, who drops it on the transfer but makes a nice recovery for the out at 1st.

McLaughlin up. Grounds out weakly to 2B. 2 away. 

Aloy up. Walks.

Souza up. Aloy takes 2nd on defensive indifference. Strikes out on a ball in the dirt.

5-0 Bama, F

[Spiderham]

Oil Can Boyd in to close us out.

Oil Can Boyd in to close us out.

His pants are pulled up so high & tight if he farted he'd have some killer heartburn.

Yesterday's lineup was a head scratcher to me. Like we changed horses in mid stream. We seem to put our worst hitters in against lefty's. Go with who got you there.

[Gambler]

I'm confused on Diggs going from 7th to leadoff in batting order.

Yeah,him and Wilmsmeyer (if you are going to play him), should be 8-9.

We were #1 by default by virtue of our record and other teams in that spot falling out.

Anyone who spent 10 minutes watching this team (read: all of us) knew this isn't/wasn't the best team in the country.

Pitching seems to have plateaued a bit, but hitting is in the shitter (especially on the road).

We are going to have to lose more than one series before I turn on them like some of you have.

I don't think anyone has turned on them. It is just 1 series and we were due to lose some. But, reality is beginning to set in.

A little reality may help this team.  Personally, I didn't expect them to win every series this year.

Let's see how they bounce back.  Actually a tough mid-week series with Texas Tech may be good for us.

[Hognrock]

I'm fine with a come back down to earth series. Let's see how they respond. The bats concern me and our pitching has overshadowed that weakness.

If we ever get the bats hot and hopefully late in the year, then lookout.
