Baseball vs LSU - Game 2

[boomstick 1,315]

Starting lineup with a little change tonight against lefty Jared Poche

Ok, Tigers. Let's get things back in order and finish the regular season strong. Flush it.

Another double play that kills the inning....

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

It's only the first 7 pitches, but Keegan looking like what we saw earlier in the year.  If he can spot up like that for seven or eight innings I like our chances.

[AU64 10,122]

DP again....quick way to see a scoring opportunity snuffed out....

[boomstick 1,315]

We've hit 4 or 5 balls on the screws so far, which is a bit different than the last few games. Maybe that will breed some confidence into these guys. 

[boomstick 1,315]

After a Logan BB, Johnson hits a hard grounder to 3rd for the last out of the inning. So far, we're seeing the ball well and hitting the ball very solidly. Just don't have anything to show for it yet. 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Mainieri must have finally made Alan Dunn stop wearing that stupid batting glove....

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Hitter's read the posts from last night's game, staying disciplined and really trying to lay off the breaking ball with less than two strikes.

May not result in much positive tonight, but the ABs have been very good so far. And we're squaring balls up really well. Just gotta get a few to fall in for us. 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

There's something you just never see, hit and run with runners in motion from first and third.  Batter did a tremendous job just getting to the ball.  Wow.  There's where Mainieri thinks this game is going, doesn't expect many runs.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Poche' looking just slightly better than pedestrian.  D Rob and Davis draw back to back walks to start the fourth.  Need to get to him here.

[AU64 10,122]

botched hit and run...and now two outs.....man on 3rd....

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

The double play ball must be in Butch's head now.  Connor Davis thrown out on the missed hit and run by J Anthony.

[AU64 10,122]

Wow.....first and second with no outs........and could not get a run across..

BUNT TO GET RUNS OVER!!!

Just not getting any love from the baseball gods right now. 

[AU64 10,122]

Meanwhile...KT looking good tonight...very economical pitching so far....

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Must be, I missed the entire LSU half of the fifth.  Must've been all of six minutes.

Have you seen Auburn's previous bunting attempts?

Yes, and if they can't lay down a bunt as an SEC baseball player, they shouldn't be in the lineup. This is getting ridiculous. Two on, no out, pop up, double play. Over and over and over. 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Poche' really doesn't want to throw the fastball.

I hear what you're saying, but this has been Sisson's approach most of his career.  It's the only way for a team that is dead last in home runs in the league to get runs in bunches.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Elevate the fastball.
