[DrMongoose]

nice, some life but...... can they reclaim the lead?

seen this movie too many times - lead then down big, big comeback that falls short.

10%!!

Second night in a row they let the Bama coach get away with giving his relief pitcher a few more warm up tosses.

That is something the league should address.

[Feral]

Annnnnnnndddddd, right on cue, Wallace hits right into the teeth of the shift. 


What’s the definition of insanity again?

We always hit right into the shift, yet everyone we play seems to be able to beat ours.

[bleedinred]

Damn Slavens. Watched another strike three. I get it, that is a tough pitch, especially if you give up on it half way to the plate.

Apparently, when we have 2 strikes, we are not taught to protect the plate.

[DirkPiggler]

Bottom 7th.

STOP:  Rammer time!  Kole Ramage in to replace his fellow Class of 1998 graduate Zeb Vermillion.

This pitching change brought to you by FUCK THIS UMP. 

Doadildo strikes out swinging at strike four. Sit down, bitch.  One out.

Tommy Shaw strikes out swinging.  Sit all the way down, bitch.  2 outs.

Rose grounds out to Battles.  3 outs.

End 7th.  8-6 bad guys.

Someone, I don't know, maybe the hitting coach, should teach these guys that they play for Arkansas and are going to get fucked by the umpires more often than not on balls and strikes.  Taking a close pitch, or in the case of Slavens strike three, one that is between your helmet and your shoelaces, is guaranteeing an out with no chance of doing anything about it.

[bleedinred]

Great job by Ramage that inning.  If we could get that production for three to four innings every time out he would be deadly.  We need that Ramage.

[Son_of_Spam]

It is funny, that while some of our pitchers are getting average, Ramage seems to be getting better.

Like I wrote, that was a tough pitch. I think most guys would have taken that pitch. It’s just frustrating to watch called third strikes so often.

[DirkPiggler]

Top 8th.  Let's not wait until the 9th guys.

Webb walks strikes out homers with a bloop single to CF.  Runner on 1st, 0 out.

(Editor's Note:  DON'T FUCKING BUNT DAVE!)

Stovall with the ugliest swing of the season on strike three.  Runner on 1st, 1 out.

Battles grounds into a 6-4-3 DP.  3 outs.  Comeback over.

Mid 8th.  Going to Birmingham 8, Going on the road for the regional 6.

After his brief vacation, Slavens has shown a pretty good understanding of the strike zone. 

[bleedinred]

Jesus. What was Stoval swinging at there. My god.

Dave should have called for the bunt. Haha.

[jdcatty]

Battles grounds in to a double play to end the inning.

[Barton Fink]

Moore and Slavens approach at the plate is like a golfer at a long drive contest.

[DirkPiggler]

Dave should have called for the bunt. Haha.

Last time I fucking use that one.

[DirkPiggler]

Bottom 8th.

Hameater strikes out.  Sit down, bitch.  1 out.

Pinckney strikes out swinging.  Sit down, bitch. 2 outs.

Williamson hits a routine grounder to Battles...who drops it transferring the ball to throw it.  E6.  Runner on 1st, 2 outs.

Delayed steal from Williamson.  Runner on 2nd, 2 outs.

Tamez the Transfer from Arkansas chops one off the plate (for the 47th time so far this series)...Wallace with an outstanding throw to get the out.  3 outs.

End 8th.  Looking for a rare win 8, Last chance 6.

[One Quarter]

These Alabama players look like woke hipster lesbians who would be offended by absolutely everything.

[ArkGuy]

Jesus. What was Stoval swinging at there. My god.

That pitch was so far outside, even their catcher couldn’t catch it.

[Son_of_Spam]

That pitch was so far outside, even their catcher couldn’t catch it.

He actually caught it in the other batters box. Horrible swing.

[hogsrunwild]

Well, just, well, not much good to say right now

[DirkPiggler]

He actually caught it in the other batters box. Horrible swing.

Barely.  It was damn near out of the right handed batters box. 

Stovall is like 1-50 against lefties this year.  Might have been a good time for a pinch hitter.

They aren't?
