April 13Apr 13 UK was better than I thought. Certainly no quit … that, and what some call bush is what I characterize as trying to win.
April 13Apr 13 Popular Post Ruger gutting out 114 pitches despite not having his good stuff was huge. He basically had to give us 6 innings for us to have any shot.

April 13Apr 13 It’s time to roll with Winfield in LF. He may not figure it out, but Jayden has no shot. Don’t blame Schloss for trying, you pretty much had to, but Winfield is the only one that could potentially give this team anything this year that can play that position.
April 13Apr 13 Pig scores a run to take a 6-5 lead in the 11th. Two out and nobody on for Georgia in the bottom half. Then a HBP, sound familiar, a double in the gap in left center ties it again at 6-6, Georgia with a shot still for a game winner.

Don’t blame Schloss for trying, you pretty much had to, but Winfield is the only one that could potentially give this team anything this year that can play that position. They both don't deserve to play. Winfield doesn't hit or get on base. Duplantier doesn't hit and gets on base at a rate a little higher than Winfield. Neither are good defensively. Matt Scott must not be hitting well in the midweek sim games to not be given a shot at this point. I've maintained all along I don't think he is playing meaningful innings for us this year, but with how bad the production has been in LF maybe they throw Jonah Williams a bone in one of these midweek games coming up.
April 13Apr 13 Popular Post With two outs and nobody on in the bottom of the 12th Georgia walks it off with a solo homer. Fifteen games deep into their first season in the SEC, Texas is now in first place alone at 13-2.

Grammar guy: in my first sentence there, would either “who’s” or “whose” be acceptable? I think yes *Who's You're saying "(A team) Who has lead...'

I think this is prolly the right answer. Winfield has def sucked but there’s at least still the maybe. There’s no maybe with Duplantier the younger.

April 13Apr 13 1 hour ago, The_Great_Hornsby said: He's not wrong tbh And it's not just leaning into pitches. The rule book says if the pitch is outside the batters box (ie over the plate or just off the plate), you have to make an attempt to get out of the way. You can't just leave your elbow sticking over the plate and expect to get a base. But they did. The one time they were called on it the coach threw a huge fit and got thrown out.

I dunno at this point. They both have almost played in the same amount of games at this point and sucked equally. Winfield played more earlier in the year against worse competition compared Duplantier and still looked lost. We are up shit’s creek unless Jonah Williams provides something more.

May have already been discussed. If so, sorry to repeat. But on almost every pitch on the inside corner or closer UK batters turned their front shoulder toward home plate, making it look like they were trying to get out of the way while actually moving into the ball. That is not an instinctive move. It is something they are taught to do.

April 14Apr 14 We have a nice conference schedule with the heavy hitters coming to Austin and our away series to the bottom half of the conference. We have also taken advantage of that schedule about as well as possible, so yay us.

Preponderance of the bulk of the majority of the upper half of the conference opponents are, or have been, at home, then. That wishy-washy enough for your taste?

April 14Apr 14 Under the rules the fact that a pitch is a strike, either by virtue of being in the strike zone or the batter swinging at it, overrules the fact that the batter was hit by the pitch. Even if the batter makes an attempt to get out of the way, if he is hit by a pitch in the strike zone, no base is awarded

April 14Apr 14 I mean anyone closing their eyes and swinging might get a few more hits than Dup at .120.

Yeah, if he didn’t have plus speed, he probably wouldn’t have made the roster this year. Granted, we certainly didn’t foresee Winfield sucking this badly. Dup wouldn’t be playing had that not happened. Texas is a virtual lock to host at this point. Already have 12 SEC wins. Should get five more plenty easily. Belyeu should be back to full strength for a regional too. Then, time to fuck shit up in the postseason. Edited April 14Apr 14 by MuellerHorn
