AU64 10,122 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Some unfamiliar names in the line-up today but most of the guys playing against GSU were unfamiliar too. Another opposing pitcher with fast ball in the low 80s... Carson Skipper pitching for AU today. ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,388 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 skipper looks good, but i just don't see that mid/upper 80's fastball being effective in the sec. i'd love to see him as the weekday starter and grind out 5 innings every week. very workman like game by the team. they seem locked in and playing this game well.

Mize and Thompson both picked up several mph once they got into the program. Skipper looked good...8 Ks and pretty efficient for such a poor day.....good control today.

mustache eagle 2,388 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 for those who will read this thread later ... the Alabama A&M bullpen apparently started some type of fire in the bullpen to keep warm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitching is more than just velocity. Skipper worked fast and threw strikes. 8 strikeouts in a game (er, four innings) is something Steve Smith can absolutely work with. And probably more than most guys who ever took the hill in O&B ever hoped to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wind kept blowing that away from the RF.....and turned it into a triple....infielder had problem and CF got lost. tough day for anything hit in the air now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerOfDixieland 3,225 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The Morrison kid has unbelievable movement on his pitches. Just explodes down and away on his arm side...seemed to have a little bit of a tough time locating. That was impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
