One big difference I notice this year is our guys not being as "pull-happy."  Lots of front shoulders staying on plane instead of pulling off.  Not sure if that's a Gabe Gross special or not, but it's nice to see guys letting the ball get a bit deeper and still knocking the cover off the baseball

These guys are not afraid the fastball is going to get by them.  Some unbelievably quick swings.

Davis with a two out hit to drive in another run and put some distance between AU and Tech....AU has now batted around....Anthony at the plate.

Anthony lines to left field to end the inning but 5 runs added....

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Runs in bunches.  Where have I heard that before?

[auburntiger1987 759]

Got those runs back. Anthony hit that hard unfortunately to the fielder but seeing pitches better with this guy

[auburntiger1987 759]

Throw a dang fastball for a strike. Stop walking folks on stupid breaking balls

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

The focus of a young left handed pitcher is a bewildering thing.

[AU64 10,122]

Just can't stand prosperity.....get a nice lead and immediately the first runner is on with a walk and next batter walks too.....BAD.....so coach Smith is out again and time for another pitcher before things get worse....

New pitcher on his way to the mound....Jack Owen....freshman lefty

So can he throw strikes now?

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Nobody can ever accuse Steve Smith of being slow with the hook.

[AU64 10,122]

Dang.....ball drilled down the left field line and run scores and runners on 2nd and 3rd and no outs and the lead is down to 6.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

That umpire isn't real sure where the bottom of the strike zone is.  The good news is that Owen misses down.

[AU64 10,122]

Hard shot to Venter who makes the out unassisted and for next batter, it is a wild pitch and another run scores and runner advances to third base.

Ball is lined to left and Davis makes the catch for out three.....AU up 12-7 going to bottom of the 7th

 

[auburntiger1987 759]

Wild pitch scored 1 more but the freshman gets out of the inning

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Limited the damage to two runs.  Williams didn't quite get to where he should have been on that ball in the dirt, gotta' do more than flag at it with the back hand.

[auburntiger1987 759]

Let him walk you. Both batters could have been walked

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

That 3-2 breaking ball to Estes was a well executed pitch.  Nobody was looking for that.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Another Yellow Jacket reliever bites the dust.  Headed towards a four hour game.

Combined 15 walks and 7 hit batters from 12 pitchers.

[auburntiger1987 759]

Does this pitching staff believe in throwing strikes?

A lot of inexperienced guys vying for (situational) positions.  Most of them over throwing and not pitching.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Jack Owen got the message.  Fast ball strike three to Bart was pretty filthy.  Down and biting hard in.

[auburntiger1987 759]

When the freshman pitched like a “70’s baseball card” he dominated. Makes getting those big outs easier
