We haven't burned any pitching except Smith for tomorrow or Friday.  Gaeckle might be a Saturday guy, but everyone else is available tomorrow.

Don't like the pitching choice here.

This game deserved a walk off walk and it got it.

BleedinRed

Nope.  What a way to lose.  First walk of the night.  Fuck.  McEntire has been average the last few weeks.

Piggielicious

Sucks to lose a game like that

Gambler

That's how to Arkansas a game.

BleedinRed

Outhit the fuckers.  

I don't want to see Tygarr, Molina or McEntire again.  They have not pitched to their potential for months now.  

Cardiac Hog

Shitty moves to intentionally walk bases loaded then bring in cold Willie Mac

Thin Red Swine

That ending makes ME want to shoot a jukebox.

It may be the time to thank McEntire for his service and move on.

Cornhogio

DVH will have 'em ready tomorrow.  That sucked bad.

A walk off freakin walk in extra innings to lose 1-0. Speechless

Cardiac Hog

Losing it with 1 single + 3 walks in 11th after 10-inning gem sucks

I hope DVH learns that this team needs to play small ball to manufacture a run or 2.

Too many wasted scoring chances

I would like to see more small ball, especially in a Smith-pitched game. That is, if we can stop popping up the bunts.

Barton Fink

Should've squeezed with Stovall.

This is the ballgame right here.

Yep. Wilmsmeyer was on base twice with no outs (which is solar eclipse rare) and we didn't try to steal or bunt him over.

All I ever hear about is his speed, but yet we don't use it in the rare event he reaches.

We're going to have to resort to small ball to make any sort of noise in the postseason because we're mediocre at the plate and we can't hit the long ball.

Case in point - A&M's top 3 home run hitters have 27, 24, and 18. Meanwhile our top three have 11 (Aloy), 9 (Stovall) and 7 (three guys).

Home runs aren't everything and can kill you if you're too reliant on them, but they matter in games like last night where the difference might be one hanging slider or poorly timed fastball that gets barreled up.

Show-Me Hog

There's nothing more frustrating than extra inning long games like last night or Oklahoma State where all you have to do to win is score one freaking run at some point.

BleedinRed

What is really frustrating is bringing in a pitcher and the one thing he can't do is the one thing he does do.  All McEntire had to do was not hit or walk the batter.
