Aaaand….here he comes. They waited until Gregory had 2 strikes so they now know he will ~~try to bunt. And foul it off for the out.~~ pray for balls 3 and 4 but end up going down looking.

Top 6th.

Denton grounds out 3-1. 1 out.

Shaw grounds out up the middle...Battles with a nice play. 2 outs.

Seidl (did you guys know he went to Harvard?) grounds out to 3rd. 3 outs.

A CLEAN INNING! PRAISE BE TO JESUS!

Mid 6th. 4-1 bad guys.

Can't say I've ever seen a pitcher pulled on a 2-2 count.

Didn’t DVH change pitchers in the middle of an at bat several times over the last couple of years? Maybe not with 2 strikes though.

Damn we can’t hit for shit, so far anyway.

Son_of_Spam · « **Reply #79 on:** May 25, 2022, 06:25:09 PM »

Man, I hope we don’t host. I don’t want to drive over there to see us go 2 and out.

I want to say he did that at home once this year.

Bottom 6th.

Slavens strikes out, but ball gets to the backstop allowing him to reach first safely. Runner on 1st, 0 out.

Lanzilli says FUCK YO COUCH DEAD BEAR BRYANT! 4-3 Alabama. 0 out.

(Editor's Note: was that a sign of life in the Hog dugout after that home run?)

Turner flies out to LF. They nearly Arkansas'd it...collided but still caught it. 1 out.

Moore grounds one hard off Denton's glove...Shaw backs him up and throws Moore out at 1st. Hell of a play by the SS. 2 outs.

Webb ~~walks strikes out homers~~ grounds out to SS. 3 outs.

End 6th. 4-3 them.

Lanzilli has been making a living off Bama pitching.

In addition to all the self-inflicted things that have gone wrong with this team, they have also been the unluckiest group we've had in many years.

Truth. I have never seen a team have so many things go against them as this team

Top 7th.

PITCHING CHANGE: Evan Taylor in for Ramage.

No sponsor for this pitching change.

Eblin flies out to LF. 1 out.

Rose grounds out to Battles...called out at first, probably going to be reviewed. Looked safe in real time...upon review, I don't know. Don't see how they can find conclusive evidence to overturn, but it is Alabama, so they obviously will call him safe. Well fuck me runnin...they upheld it. 2 outs.

Hammiter bloops one to Battles. 3 outs.

Mid 7th. 4-3 Alabama.

Bottom 7th.

Stovall grounds one right at 2nd. 1 out.

PITCHING CHANGE: Right-handed Gump Landon Green coming in to replace LeGay.

This pitching change brought to you by a sincere plea to the baseball gods. Can we have one thing go our way this year? Just one? This team is owed a lot of breaks.

Battles grounds out weakly to SS. 2 outs.

Gregory, who has yet to be hit by a pitch or walk today, is hit by a pitch. Runner on 1st, 2 outs.

PITCHING CHANGE: Another lefty, Antoine Jean coming in to replace Green.

This seems like an odd time to bring in a left-hander...to face our best hitter, who happens to be right handed.

Wild pitch moves Gregory to 2nd. Runner on 2nd, 2 outs.

Wallace gets to 3-0, then is intentionally walked. Runners 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

Slavens, who has yet to be hit by a pitch today, strikes out swinging at a pitch nowhere near the zone. 3 outs.

End 7th. 4-3 bad guys.

Jeebus. Stovall watches 2 fastballs down Broadway then taps a slider to 2nd base.

I just told my wife the same thing. I guess we don’t know what a perfect strike is.

Son_of_Spam · « **Reply #93 on:** May 25, 2022, 06:59:01 PM »

I started to ask why Slavens was the DH at the beginning of the game. I still wonder that. It is either HR or SO and is usually SO.

Barton Fink · « **Reply #94 on:** May 25, 2022, 06:59:10 PM »

Slavens has yet to realize 90% of the pitches he sees are off speed.

DrMongoose · « **Reply #95 on:** May 25, 2022, 06:59:30 PM »

I feel like this team's motto is "rallied back and trail by 1"

And in the dirt. But he swings at those anyway.

Slavens simply cannot hit the low and outside pitch. But he’s 100% going to swing at it.

Gonna lose on a dumbass throw to pick someone off third.

Don’t know if is true, but heard today that our hitting coach, Thompson, is on the short list for another job, maybe Kansas. Let’s just say I wouldn’t be heartbroken.
