UGLY inning....4 straight hits and ran the lead up to 7-1 and still in a bunch of trouble... 

True.....but the 1st inning was the real killer. 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Top of the 7th

Still 7-1 MSU

That dad-gum MacNamee  makes the play for out 3.

Auburn gets nothing going offensively.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Spoiler

 

Watson takes over for Glavine in the bottom of the 7th and MSU immediately gets a double.

Wow.

[Gowebb11 9,314]

I wonder what tomorrows pitching rotation will look like? 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

8-1 MSU with 1 out.

Getting the feeling we may not win this one....

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

WTH???? 

Why review this one? 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

OK....so we only need 2 grand slams to win. We got this.

Top of the 8th

MSU 8-1

I think Butch is having tryouts right after this game.....

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Bottom of the 8th

8-2 MSU

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Bases loaded....no outs. MSU threatening to bury Auburn

10-2 MSU

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

11-2 MSU

Still no outs. 

Now 12-2 on a passed ball. 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

13-2

Back to the top of the order....

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

14-2 on a HR

This game just got out of control early and Auburn could never stop the bleeding.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Wild pitch......15-2.

Auburn just helping in their own massacre.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Ouch. 

Every team has a bad game occasionally. Move on and win tomorrow Tigers.

Probably Horn/Wade will start, then the other of those two may be used up as well. If Auburn is in the game tomorrow, Greenhill and Anderson will pitch.  Gray and Watson may also be available. Thankfully Tuesday is an exhibition game so Schilleci and Luttrell can be used then because our bullpen will probably be worn out. I'm not sure if redshirts can play in exhibition games but if they can, Sweatt can be used.

Flush it. We weren’t gonna sweep a team that good in their house. Compete tomorrow. Certainly don’t wanna get complacent, but winning one on the road in the SEC is par for the course. Don’t get swept, and all is well. Tomorrow is a huge opportunity, but not a “have to have it.”

This was  a game when CBT should have put in a back-up CF or something about 12-2 and save some pitching.....I know the young guys need the work but this is not the only game to be played this month and JMO, no point in wasting an arm at this point.

Who was pitching when we gave up all the runs late?

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

We coughed up big hair ball today folks. Fortunately it only counts as one loss.

C!mon man, pitching at Dudy Noble is a unique experience not to be wasted on an outfielder. No matter what the score....

We have a ton of arms that never get used.  According to our roster, we have 18 pitchers.  We can and should use those guys who need development in these types of situations.

You get 35 players on a roster and 27 active for SEC series.  Basically, we have plenty of depth to use.

It doesn't work that way with pitching. You just don't throw arms out there. Some of these guys may be getting a RS. Some may be injured. Some may not be ready to be thrown to the wolves in an SEC game.

I think using Glavine and Fitts, tells me he used seldom used pitchers in a blowout game. And some only pitched 1 inning each, so I would say CBT was not blowing arms. And I certainly don't see him wasting pitchers....
