  • You choke up on the bat.  You move up in the box.  You lay down a bunt.  You (Pierce) have your batter call time to "confer" over signs.  You do NOT let a guy like Bednar (sp?) just settle in and work

    Yeah, we kinda did.  Striking out 21 times on the same fucking pitch, from two different pitchers, that's kinda embarrassing.  

  • In the heat of the moment when I told you to go choke on a dick I meant it metaphorically man. NTTAWWT.

Getting mowed down already. Ouch 

he did the same thing in Arlington.  

I was at the game against Pig in Arlington...they murdered us with high heat.  I was hopeful a season between then and now would cure that, now...I'm not so sure.

Bednard pitching nasty, even without the ginormous strike zone. 

For those of you that don’t like a pitchers duel, y’all might want to find something else to watch. This is looking like a good one 

that was high and outside. I fucking hate umpires. we need a computer automated strike zone.

Respek to Bednar.  

Dude is plain filthy.

Good thing is Ty has been that too so far.

No awareness by our hitters.  Step out on this mofo, call TO, do whatever to break his rhythm.   

Yup.

We need to be a smarter team.

What has worried me a little coming into Omaha is in the post season we have depended pretty heavily on getting walks and errors for runs.  We are gonna have to start hitting now. 

I was wondering why Leonis was being a bitch and arguing a perfect strike by Ty, but I guess it’s because the ump listens. 

Ah man I didn't come all this way to watch y'all strike out.

The approach needs to change the rest of the game. Have to start trying to ambush fastballs. Like Madden he has two pitches, they are very good, but you just have to sit on fastballs. There isn't any point trying to work pitch counts, easier said than done but we need to be looking for fastballs early. If we keep getting deep in counts with 2 strikes it is going to be a long day. What are we going to do? Work Bednar's pitch count so they turn it over to Sims who is better..

Reminds me of Omaha Beach when the Higgins boat doors drop

So we’ll eventually break their defenses and burn them out? Sounds good to me

Not nearly as true as in the recent past.  But yeah.  We have kind of feasted on weak pitching.

GET OFF THE BEACH!

I like Madden stuff a lot more, his spin rate is pine tar quality.  We'll catch up to Bednar's fast balll.

Well you hope you catch him in trouble in the middle innings before they yank him. He gets to the 7th no trouble he’s on a super short leash. Get him up and 4-5-6 innings find some trouble get 2 runs and win.

I’ll wait until the second time through against the MSU pitcher before I start to panic. 

Not a fan of southern cracker names like ROWDY, just sayin

Hung that one -- lucky it's just a single.

Get the next one, Ty.  Nice and easy.

Augie? That you? 

There you go, Ty.

Keep throwing up zeroes.  Runs are coming.

depth and quality of the SEC....  uh they have 14 fucking teams.....    so yeah they have more teams.

sick and tired of this bullshit that the SEC is the greatest conference in everything except basketball.

Yeah only good at bat we've had so far. 

Other than one slightly hanging slider(?) and 2 missed strike calls that inning, not so bad.

ESPN has a HUGE contract with the SEC, just sit back and Clayton Williams.

Speaking of the name Rowdy. Did anybody sit out in the outfield at Rangers games and sit close to a little dude named Rowdy Ranger? Strange fella 

this had to be 20yrs ago

1-3 did make good contact.

We've had a few other good at bats. Just no other good swings.

the strike calls worry me more than anything else, because we are getting rung up on the same fucking spot..... that starts to impact the game the 2nd time around.
