I hate the fucking shift.

In all fairness it works well against us. However, we suck at it.

One thing that concerns me bigly about this Hog team is that we quite literally never go out and mash anybody.

I get that’s easier said than done in this conference, but you figure we’d at least have the occasional game where we put our nuts on the table, jump out on someone, and win 12-2 where the game is over I the 6th.

We constantly play up or down to our level of competition. This Bama team is struggling to even make Hoover and yet we’re having trouble with them.

Top 5th.

Battles takes advantage of the shift with a weak grounder that the 2nd baseman fields, but not in time to throw him out at 1st. Runner on 1st, 0 out.

Gregoire sac bunts Battles to 2nd (on a 3-1 count...WTF Dave?). Runner on 2nd, 1 out.

Wild pitch enables Battles to move up. Runner on 3rd, 1 out.

Wallace strikes out swinging at strike two. Runner on 3rd, 2 outs.

Turner pounds one off the RF wall, narrowly missing a couch fucking. Battles scores. 3-1 HOGS. Runner on 2nd, 2 outs.

Moore walks. Runners 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

Lanzilli singles to CF. Turner scores. 4-1 HOGS. Bob to 2nd. Runners 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

Slavens uses the free strike after the Bama 3rd baseman Razorbacks an easy pop up to strike out looking. 3 outs.

Mid 5th. 4-1 Hogs.

Giving away outs with this team is…mind boggling

I get the idea of bunting with Gregory. He's really good at getting hits that way.

But someone needs to remind DVH that the runner moves to 2nd on a walk just as well as if you bunt him up...more easily even.

Gregory is good at bunting or hitting right handers. He should never bat with a left hander pitching.

Seems like we've hit more doubles tonight than all of SEC play.

The crowd noise

is unbearable. Boring as hell if you have to be listening on the radio.

Bottom 5th.

Rose gets on 1st somehow while I was taking a piss. Runner on 1st, 0 out.

Hameater singles to RF on a hit and run. Runners 1st and 3rd, 0 out.

Pinckney grounds up the middle to Moore, who gets the force at 2nd. Pinckney safe at 1st on the relay. Rose scores. 4-2 Hogs. Runner on 1st, 1 out.

Williamson with another seeing eye single. Runners 1st and 3rd, 1 out.

Tamez the Transfer from Arkansas grounds one into LF. Pinckney scores. 4-3 Hogs. Runners 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Dave says fuck this shit. Pitching change incoming. Morris in for Noland.

This pitching change brought to you by whoever Connor pissed off to get the kind of luck he had in that inning.

Wild pitch moves runners up. Runners 2nd and 3rd, 1 out. FUCK.

Denton walks. Bases loaded, 1 out. Marlboro Light hats engaged for Alabama.

Seidl bloops one to RF...of course Lanzilli can't make the play. Run scores from 3rd. Tied 4-4. Bases full of NIL money, 1 out.

(Editor's Note: graduate transferring from Harvard to Alabama has to be like retiring as the scientist who cured cancer and getting a job picking corn out of prisoners' shit with your bare hands. Or like going from being paid a billion dollars a year to fuck super models to eating Hillary Clinton's ass for minimum wage.)

Diodati singles to RF. Two Gumps score. 6-4 Alabama. Runners 1st and 3rd, still just one fucking out.

Jarvis bunts back to the mound...close play at the plate, called safe. 7-4 Alabama. Runners 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

PITCHING CHANGE: Zeb in for Morris.

This pitching change brought to you by FireVanHorn.com. Not really, but god damn this team is frustrating as fuck.

Wild pitch. Runners move up. 2nd and 3rd, still one goddamn out.

Rose strikes out. Finally, a fucking out. Runners 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs.

Hameater flies out to RF...fortunately Webb cuts off Lanzilli to prevent another stumblefucking...3 outs.

End 5th. Alabama 7 Hogs 4.

To your point, we open a three run lead then promptly give up a half dozen and still going in the bottom of the frame.

Killer instinct is lacking.

The announcers jinxed the shit out of Morris when he came in. Had only allowed one earned in SEC play, crazy low ERA, unhittable stuff.

Then he proceeds to implode like a 9U pitcher without getting an out.
