SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Wright having a bad day. Ball 4 gets runners on first and second. For some reason, Wright throws it to second...bad throw...runner moves to third. Poor focus for AU early on in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Ugh....game not going well for Wright.....a throwing error though Holland did not make much of an effort to flag it down...so Anderson immediately in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 5-1 after RBI double. Im out to enjoy my Sunday. Someone else feel free to take it home but it appears Auburn will leave Lexington 20-5, 3-3 in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Anderson has a short stint.....gone after the 2 run double.....too bad for him....not an easy situation and then the misplay on the ball four pitch but runners on the corners and might have rattled him a bit. But that hit down the line was a shot to clear the bases. Welby is back in the game....finished up game one I think so still warm from getting ready for that couple innings.

SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Butch Thompson cannot be happy with the pitching this weekend outside of Mize and Daniel. There weren't just a lot of walks, there were a lot of non-competitive walks. 4 pitch walks, 5 pitch walks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We not playing good baseball today except for one inning that came at a great time. These guys have got to figure out how to hit against sec pitchers.

AU64 10,122 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Welby walks the first batter on four pitches and hits the next one to load the bases and his day is done.

AU64 10,122 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Can you believe it....the LF ..Ward just loses the ball and drops it....announcers declare it a "single" which is a joke....but home field decision....and another two runs score and it's 7-1 and only one out....and two on base... This inning has been a disaster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Terrible day so far, but games like these happen. I'm just glad we're at least gonna leave town without getting swept. Also, this team has not come close to peaking yet which is fine because we don't wanna peak too early and fade later like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 3rd inning is finally over and AU is down 8-1.....not sure how many were earned but however, they are on the scoreboard and the offense has a lot of work to do in a shortened game....another that will be 7 innings.

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 We’ve gotten through two of the tougher series we will have this year 3-3. You’ve gotta be okay with that considering we haven’t played near to our potential yet. Hope we can continue to win and slowly peak at the right time.

Like the optimism, but the toughness doesn't end. @Arky @UF Vandy @Ole Miss still to go. I think this team is better than last year, but I'm still not sure they even make postseason. The rest of the league is just too good. Which is why I hope AU keeps Butch, now that AU baseball has slowly nipped at the heels of tasting success in this conference. Starting over now would put the death knell in the program for a good 4-5 years. I'm trying to see a way this team gets to 15 wins, but without just unrealistically pencilling in sweeps against Mizzou, @Alabama (who always has AUs number) and MSU, I don't see how it happens. And while I do like Butch, I am still frustrated this is about the 147th year in a row Auburn can't get reliable bullpen arms. Such is the state of the conference right now. No use whining about it, just got to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And UK got beat up last weekend too. The SEC is just a wild ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No use whining about it, just got to compete. I think it’s a bit pessimistic to say we won’t even make the post-season. We find a way to win one game in those away series, all we will need to do is win two at home every weekend to get to 15 wins. I’d be willing to bet an sec team with 13 wins gets in and wouldn’t be surprised if a 12 win team that wins a game in the tournament makes it in. Meaning if we win 2 at home in each series the rest of the way, but don’t win a road game, we’ll get to eleven wins. I find it hard to believe we only win 2 of the remaining road series games, especially with Casey Mize throwing on Fridays. Sweeps will not be common in this league, but that includes us.

With Mize pitching Auburn has an excellent chance of taking 2 out of 3 games in every series they play. Home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 13-3. And AU with 3 hits and 2 errors....some bad baseball against what is supposed to be the bottom of their pitching staff. I thought there were more than two errors but a couple mis-plays were not charged I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what has scared me since before SEC play started. Our pre-conference opponents were not overall good pitching teams and I think that may be biting us a little. The two good pitchers we did face before SEC play ate us up. 12 hours ago, tigerbrotha12 said: I think it’s a bit pessimistic to say we won’t even make the post-season.

The goal has to be win 10 games in the seven series against the other really good clubs in the SEC and then win the series against MSU, Bama, and Mizzou. Do that and you go 16-14 in conference, which I would take right now and walk away if offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope this is nothing but a temporary brain fart. The ghost of Coach Paw haunting the AU dugout one last time or some similar aberration. I'm not sure that was a called sac bunt. It functioned as one, but I think Ward was trying to bunt for a hit. The 3B was playing back a little, but he didn't get it far enough away from the pitcher. Ward still made it a really close play, but in hindsight, they probably want him swinging away right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to take three from some teams It would certainly be nice, but that also looks to be a bit unrealistic this year with the strength of the league. If we are gonna sweep, one has to be this coming weekend against Mizzou at home. The brutality of the schedule is off the charts. We are 9th in today's BA poll, yet four of our remaining eight SEC opponents are ranked higher than us. Throw in a series against #21 LSU too and that makes 15 games left against ranked clubs. That's insane and puts even more pressure on us to win 6-7 games vs Bama, MSU, and Mizzou. That schedule is also why I think our ceiling is about 16 SEC wins.
