    I think the SEC can go fuck itself.

Finally the baseball gods let us blow this series open

That ball started to the left of the Longhorn in CF lol

That CF is a fucking joke.

I do not miss having to play terrible players in the field.

But why put him in CF?

That center fielder has no idea.

You know that the wind is going to blow the ball to his left and he turned the other way first.

I asked the same question last night, during all his follies.

This game wasn’t exactly flying by thru 3, and this last pitcher sure hasn’t helped. 

He strutted around like a banty rooster.

I think he is out

Either way there needs to be an ass chewing over the base running this weekend

If he's out, that will be 1/3 of our outs made on the bases 

The throw beat him, need a better angle.

Need to work on the base running.

Left handed 1b makes that tag easily.

actually a right handed one could as well if they reach behind instead of across his body.

Is my stream screwed up or did it really just take us 2 hours to play 4 innings?

At this rate Keith may be finishing this broadcast by himself

Yes, he has thrown a lot of pitches and others need work.

Not much time before SEC play starts, need to see what others can or can't do.

Gasparino kind of gave up on that ball too early, with that kind of wind.

DP... but I'm not convinced we actually had him at first. Looked safe to me. Whatever. I'll take it. 

Ruger has too good of a fastball to be pitching like this. Some of it is on him and some of it is on Max.

Certainly, no ham and egger like Way said, it was very close at first.

I thought he was out by a hair.

Is David Pierce sitting in the Santa Clara dugout in disguise and acting as the SC pitching coach?

It's all about getting the slider over the plate for him.  He's very hittable when he doesn't 

So, Riojas and Grubbs seem to both be long relievers, if needed.

I think they both could be used in other roles also.

If Ruger can command the inner 1/3 of the plate with his fastball he will be tough to hit, if not then he will continue to struggle putting guys away

That's got to be it for Riojas.

Think Dre takes over.

Riojas can't leave the breaking pitches up.

Maybe Weiner had him working on it, thus the lack of fast balls.

Mendoza really has the inside out swing working against that shift.

That's at least twice so far in this series.

These stupid outs on the bases have to stop 

Blood veins bulged in my forehead when that happened far too frequently during Pierce’s tenure and I was happy to blame coaching.  It now appears to me that the problem is more attributable to knucklehead players than knucklehead coaches … 🤬

It’s college baseball so I expect some stupidity but sometimes the red light needs to be put on to prevent players from doing dumb stuff. 

Them continually trying to extend Ruger may mean they aren’t sold on Luke as a starter, that and Mercer injury

Ruger is done after a mere 87 pitches. Have to save him for tomorrow.

I think if they want Riojas to be a starter it would be on Sunday.

I still see him a Swiss Army Knife for the bullpen.

Hate to lose that.

I actually like that they pushed him today probably out of his comfort zone.

You have to ride your horses in conference play and we are going to need him to save our ass a time or two if we want to accomplish our goals.

Yep. 

Next 2 games we will probably see some interesting lineups and pitching rotations. I would like to see them try and stretch Navarre to 2 or 3 innings in the next 2 games. Mercer going down and Volantis moving to Sunday leaves a hole in the pen that we don’t currently have a replacement for.
