Quote from: BleedinRed on May 05, 2024, 02:30 PMWe still a fan of Holt? Twice now he has fucked up in center.

He's still hitting over .160, so yes. Still a fan compared to the other options.

Quote from: BleedinRed on May 05, 2024, 02:28 PMand the 10 runs we scored? Is that not considered the bats carrying us? When do the bats get credit?

So, 2 games out of 48?

Son of Spam · May 05, 2024, 02:33 PM

We still DHing Rowland?

DirkPiggler · May 05, 2024, 02:34 PM

Top 8th.

Rowland flies out to deep LF. 1 out.

White flies out to shallow LF. 2 outs.

Edmunson strikes out looking. Bad call, but with this ump you can't take one that's close with two strikes. 3 outs.

Mid 8th. Go Ahead And Run Rule Us 7. So We Can Regroup for Next Week 3

Trotting Rowland out there for a 4th AB when he's 0-3 with a groundout, strikeout, and GIDP is coaching malpractice.

DirkPiggler · May 05, 2024, 02:39 PM

Bottom 8th.

McCoy grounds out to 2nd. 1 out.

Smith grounds out to Aloy. 2 outs.

Waldschmidt flies out to Diggs in deep RF. 3 outs.

End 8th. 7-3 them.

DirkPiggler · May 05, 2024, 02:43 PM

Top 9th, top of the order. Let's at least make it interesting.

Stovall says FUCK YO COUCH TIM COUCH. A 9th inning bomb to RF. 7-4 UK. 0 outs.

PITCHING CHANGE: Hummel in for O'Brien.

Aloy strikes out swinging. 1 out.

McLaughlin hit by pitch. Runner on 1st, 1 out.

Sprague-Lott walks. Runners 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Diggs flies out to shallow CF. Runners 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

Holt flies out to the track in RF. 3 outs.

Hogs lose 7-4.

Thin Red Swine · May 05, 2024, 02:48 PM

Stovall is being wasted too. He has 3 of our 7 hits and has scored 3 of the 4 runs.

Gambler · May 05, 2024, 02:50 PM

Aloy with a surrender swing.

Barton Fink · May 05, 2024, 02:52 PM

DP incoming to end it.

Cardiac Hog · May 05, 2024, 02:54 PM

C'mon Diggs

Thin Red Swine · May 05, 2024, 02:54 PM

Oh thank God. Diggs is up.

Well, it was high enough to tie it.

BleedinRed · May 05, 2024, 02:56 PM

Diggs produces like he always does. 😡

BleedinRed · May 05, 2024, 02:57 PM

We will go 1-5 in the final 6 games. Book it.

2-4. Smith isn't losing.

Son of Spam · May 05, 2024, 03:01 PM

We need a hitting coach....or some hitters...or a hitting coach that can make some hitters..or something like that.

Son of Spam · May 05, 2024, 03:03 PM

Diggs needs to be hitting last in the lineup. Put someone up there who can bring in some RISP. Not sure who that is right now, but there has to be someone who can make contact. And Rowland as DH?!? Give me a break.

DVH made some head scratching moves this weekend.

Diggs batting where he is in the lineup.
Going with Wood over Gaeckle in game 2.
Wilmsmeyer getting the start in game 1.
Edmunson over Lovich in game 3.
Rowland at DH (and not getting PH for) in game 3.
McEntire instead of Gaeckle in a manageable deficit situation in game 3.
