ellitor 33,080 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Herndon gets hit on the back of the leg with a batted ball. He walks the next batter then goes 2-0 before being taken out. 2 outs. Runner on 1st. Coker in and finishes the inning with a ground out. 15-5. Top 9th.

His fastball is dead flat. There is virtually no movement on it whatsoever. I am sure they are working with him to cut or split or lower his arm angle. Probably all that and more. I just hope they find the magic bullet before he transfers. That is incredibly tough on a young pitcher who was all everything coming out of high school. I for one am pulling hard for him.

AU64 10,122 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Watching Louisville vs Ky.....UL guy hit a home run and then stood in the box....watched it go out and then strolled down to first carrying the bat about 20 feet....prime candidate for a knock down pitch next time up. KY in the lead. 11-5 over #2 Louisville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is that he works his tail off trying to improve. I respect him for his work ethic and I really hope it pays off for him at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagle13 88 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I look forward to the day that the auburn bullpen doesn't allow a run. It'll be a glorious day, a kind of day that comes once every blue moon. The kind of day that makes you say, "yes, finally, for one brief moment, all is right in the world."

As for baseball fights...most are comical though every now and then someone gets in a real punch...but easy to get sucker punched in a mob fight where someone may not even know who he is swinging at....just someone in a different uniform......and no protection of course.

It's been a few weeks, but the bullpen has had a few days like that already this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of pitching depth...about 16 guys classed as pitchers on our roster plus Daniel Robert and of all that...only 6 of them (and I am including the starters).... when they go out to the mound, the coaches have much of a clue about what might happen.

That's about right. We really need 1-2 more quality arms. Camacho has come on as a decent midweek starter. The Fri/Sat rotation is very good, and Daniel has been, at the very least, solid. Then, you have Lipscomb, Mitchell, and Coker. Herndon is hit or miss and Watson is about the same. But both are good when they're on. And Robert as a spot guy is nice to have. Then, guys like Klobosits and Sprinkle are unfortunate knowns. It would be nice to have at least one more solid, reliable arm (whether that be Herndon or Watson steadying themselves or Klobo or Sprinkle figuring things out quickly) to add depth to the pen.

AU64 10,122 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks golf.....Nolan could be an ornery SOB at times....and very competitive.....looked like someone's grandfather in a fight even then.... probably twice Ventura's age but knew how to inflict a little pain without leaving blood evidence.
