March 20, 20196 yr If that pop fly hadn’t drifted over the fence this might have been a bit of a game.
March 20, 20196 yr Meaney looks like he could be a legit midweek starter. I think he has started one, right?
March 20, 20196 yr Ellis continues to struggle. I have to say Zebulon Vermillion is a very old timey name. Nice.

March 20, 20196 yr Just now, Machinator said: That looked like ball 4. Ump wants to go home. Getting late.
March 20, 20196 yr Ok Meaney close this one out and hopefully we have better luck tomorrow. Edited March 20, 20196 yr by Valmy77
March 20, 20196 yr Kennedy should have probably fouled it off, with this ump, but that's still bullshit.
March 20, 20196 yr Just now, dcar00 said: same fucking pitch that would have K'd the Grand slam hitter. this ump sucks. Didn’t hesitate to ring Kennedy up at all. Dude is a fucking clown.

Madden has also shown stuff but we used him twice last weekend and he got hurt. We chased a conference win against the conference favorite and sacrificed our midweek starters to do it. And we got that win, so it was a worthwhile trade off.

Yeah I had no problem burning those arms to beat Tech.
March 20, 20196 yr Think Pierce was chasing the game tomorrow based on the arms he pitched. Coming into tonight Meaney only had 4 IP, Diaz 4.1 IP, and Neely 4.1 IP. Tomorrow we should have Kubicheck, Bocchi, Bryant, Stevens, Nico, and Whelan available. Depending on circumstances Pierce might throw Quintanilla and Fields for an inning too. Tomorrow sets up better with the fact Arkansas already burned their midweek guy and the fact some of our arms like Bocchi, Bryant, Whelan and Kubicheck all pitched on Sunday.

All true, which is probably why we shouldn't be playing these 2 midweek games during the middle of conference play. Schedule these 2 midweek games earlier in the year. Whelan likely would have been the starter tonight if we didn't use him Sunday.
March 20, 20196 yr If your team is built to play 4 games a week you wont do shit in June. This is a great test for the other pitchers and the pen. Who cares about baseball America rankings in March.
March 20, 20196 yr Sweep LSU, we are fucking awesome... Stanford we, suck.. Texas Ech and we are awesome again, Arky we suck... We're doing overall better than last year at this point. I like this team and the schedule, I think this will toughen them the fuck up when it matters..

People always think midweek games don’t really matter. I disagree and think midweek games show what you have if you fall behind in a regional.
March 20, 20196 yr Madden getting hurt and not being able to eat some innings Sunday also helped put us behind the 8-ball for this series.

When Florida won the championship in '17, they had about a .500 record for midweek games. Mainieri at LSU does the same. That said, when you are playing a ranked opponent need the RPI boost.

March 20, 20196 yr I remain pessimistic about winning the game, but hopefully one or more of our pitchers that get an opportunity today can have good results, like meaney yesterday. Positive outings for new arms is always good. id also like to see the offense look competent for more than one inning a game, when it’s not being handed a walk an inning.

What does that mean exactly? I mean most teams are not going to score multiple runs in very many innings against elite competition.
March 20, 20196 yr 8 minutes ago, Valmy77 said: What does that mean exactly? I mean most teams are not going to score multiple runs in very many innings against elite competition. No, but they haven’t shown the ability to manufacture one run in an inning, against any competition, when they aren’t getting help from free passes.
March 20, 20196 yr OK, I was at the game & haven't read the thread,& not gonna. Probably been addressed, but wtf was up with the home plate umpire last night? He was clearly squeezing the shit outta Neely & was generally all over the fucking place all night, esp low in the zone. Real POS. And why was the batter passing the guy on first ok on the grand slam? He clearly passed him.
March 20, 20196 yr Ruled he didn’t pass him. Though he technically rounded first while the guy had his foot on first.
March 20, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, Pato del Muerto said: Ruled he didn’t pass him. Though he technically rounded first while the guy had his foot on first. Yeah, he passed him. That's complete BS. Runner was on first and the batter touched first & then went straight into fair territory and stood there. What would the result have been had they ruled he passed him?

What would the result have been had they ruled he passed him? Batter is out, 3 runs score. Would have been 4-0 with 2 outs and nobody on base.
March 20, 20196 yr BTW I don;t think I've ever seen a Disch HR that got so much help from the wind as that Grand Slam. That looked like an easy pop to left. Probably in front of the LF on a normal day.
March 20, 20196 yr Yeah after seeing several to left and left center from zubia and McCann get knocked down by the wind this season, it was disappointing that the wind decided to help a hog grand slam. The other home run that inning may have gotten out at the polo grounds, however. That one had a vapor trail. You may not have seen from the park, but it short hopped a truck parked on the far side of comal.

I would love to see a side by side look of the second strike call on Hibbeler T1 and the 2-2 pitch to the Arkansas batter after we botched the play at first base. He didn’t give Neely anything.
