I am certain the play that Mr, Nunnery so eloquently referenced was the defensive play call on 4th down against Mizzou. His assessment his 100% correct and any Pop Warner coach would have been in the proper defense defending the line to gain. But we clearly do not have that defense as it has...
Nothing to do with Cags as he is a great college hitter, but when that is our only positive for the year, it is telling. The next 4 weekends will define the season and if the product does not improve we will be put out of our misery early.
We would all like to have a successful program and see a much better product on the field, but that is going to take monumental changes, much of which starts with the staff meaning the head coach. But how can anyone feel that is ever going to happen as I had to turn this off after the host...
So Russell was around the plate. Only gave up one hit and one walk to "save" the 12-1 victory. I would say that inning immediately vaults Russell into the weekend closer role.:stirpot:
Sully pinch hits for Cags with the bases loaded. Cags might have hit the ball 600 feet off that Jax pitcher LOL Some guy named Brookins is the pinch hitter. Maybe he is from Brooker?
Russell in to pitch. Has he pitched this season?
So here is the most interesting thing tonight. One of these talking heads was just genuflecting about the Gator pitching staff tonight b/c apparently Jax rang up 36 runs in their 3 game series this past weekend against Austin Peay State University. I was born and raised 30 minutes from APSU...
Jax sux. their new pitcher hits the first two hitters. Thomas SAC bunts and the pitcher tries to stupidly get the lead runner at 3B and whips the ball into LF.
12-1. Hope the bullpen can hold the lead.
Why the hell is Slater worried about the lead runner on 2nd base with two outs? He stepped off twice to chase the runner back. Correct me if I am wrong but with two outs, if you retire the hitter the inning is over?. Just a total waste of concentration.
1 2/3 innings for Menendez. Too many free passes to probably have earned an important role on the weekend, but not totally horrendous. Old Folks Country Sausage in.
Clemente out, Menendez in. Sully has decided to look at the guys we hardly ever see in games. b/c we know what the guys we have seen for weeks have done. Would say with his two innings Clemente might be seen this upcoming weekend out of the bullpen.
