SEC Tourney thread….baseball

[BleedinRed]

The announcer gave us a lot of credit for finding ways to win. Lately, we've been finding ways to lose.

We're now 10-10 in road and neutral games. That won't cut it if we get past next weekend. 

For a little perspective, of those 10 road loses, 9 were against teams in the top 25.  4 of those 9 losses were against teams in the top 10 with another 4 losses against teams in the 15-25 range.  The one other loss was against James Madison.

I'm not sure what exactly that means other than we have played some really tough teams on the road and I can't imagine we will see that level of competition prior to Omaha.  Once there I like our chances.

Help me understand why I should like Arkansas' chances in Omaha when they can't hit. Is it the spacious outfield that will make the other teams' homeruns stay in the park?

Can't hurt!

Diggs at leadoff...again.

Unless he somehow finds it the next day or two, DVH better cut this shit out in the postseason with Diggs at the top of the order.

[Show-Me Hog]

We look sharp so far.


 

[Guardrail]

Man, we need some Benny Hill music. This is comical.

What does defense have so far: a walk, a hit, 2 errors, 2 runs and it's just in bottom of first

[Feral]

Defense looks like warm dogshit.

Leadoff walk takes second on an errant pickoff throw.
Stovall fucks up a routine lineout. 
White throws a pickoff throw into left field.

[BASS]

Spectacular start.  This is natty quality baseball.

[Sus-Scrofa]

So I don't need to turn this on?

[Feral]

Not to beat a dead horse, but I just have to circle back to DVH continuing to bat Diggs leadoff.

He's forgotten more baseball than I'll ever know, but you have a batter who's been struggling badly all season with no turnaround in sight who might be our worst hitter, and you're maximizing his AB's?

I just don't understand it.

[Gambler]

This just might not be our day.

[Feral]

...and McLaughlin just got robbed of a homer.

Let's pack it in, go home, and get ready for the regional.

Add Aloy to the list after ole-ing a grounder.

Has diggs swung at a fastball down the middle all season?

We have good pitching and we hit well enough to score runs.  We are 43 and 13.  We don't suck.

[Son of Spam]

If you have a 2-0 count, you can just about bet the next pitch is going to be down the middle. And yet, Diggs will watch two of them with his bat on his shoulder.

[hit_that_line]

Smith's velocity down. Hobbs may have ruined another one.

[Cornhogio]

Who would y'all plug in to Diggs' spot?  Don't have any big boppers withering away on the bench.

[Show-Me Hog]

On Spectrum website SECN keeps going in and out with an "unavailable" message.

I do not find the game on ESPN Watch even though SECN usually is. Anyone know why?

On the whole I will take these as signs I should not watch this game, which may be for the best.

Who are the other ones?
