February 28, 20241 yr 16 minutes ago, Hondo said: Our saving grace in this game is the SJ pitcher throwing straight darts and we're hitting him hard, just right at people. He has no movement at all on his fastball and we're going to score some runs unless SJ's coach gets smart and pulls him first. We just need to hold SJ to about 5 or 6 and I think we'll be okay. Unfortunately, SJ coach got smart. This guy's stuff doesn't look like it has much bite either though, so I'm still feeling good about our bats.

February 28, 20241 yr Don't particularly like the idea of 1) giving this guy his first out and 2) moving someone over so O'Dowd can just whiff/pop out.

February 28, 20241 yr At least O’Dowd advanced the runner. This freshman pitcher for St. Johns was almost too much for him.
February 28, 20241 yr Just now, ConferenceRoom said: It worked. Doesn’t mean the process wasn’t flawed. Guy making his first appearance, just walked the first guy he faced, O’Dowd is behind the guy laying down the sacrifice. And it’s the 4th inning.
February 28, 20241 yr Perfect time to work on manufacturing runs. I don’t think the process was “flawed.”
February 28, 20241 yr I get working the count and all that, but if I'm Flores, I'm sitting dead red and swinging out of my shoes on the first pitch.
February 28, 20241 yr The old "take until he throws you a strike" meant he watched belt high cheese and got stuck having to chase what the pitcher threw him. I get the mindset on taking, but you've gotta be aggressive early IMO.
February 28, 20241 yr Is that his 4th career? OU and Miami last year and 2 this year? Edited February 28, 20241 yr by EZ$ Or maybe OSU?
February 28, 20241 yr That was even a worse pitch on the replay than it was in real time. Can't complain that we can't hit shitty pitchers any longer. At least not as often.
February 28, 20241 yr That FB Flores took yard was the same pitch as the 1-0 fastball he took. Thank goodness the catcher gave him another shot at it. Worked out in our favor on that one.
