wareagle13 88 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That was some weak as hell at bats. holy crap... 3 k's following a strong single by connor davis. And none of the guys we're even closing to touching the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 We are a dead red fastball hitting team. These two guys from Troy hitting their spots and only showing an occasional fastball at a max 88 mph. They have been very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Troy get's a lead off base hit....13 hits tonight.....dang...just can't seem to get these guys out of an inning without some the pitchers being in a bit of trouble.. Sac and runner moves to 2nd....with one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If we had a bullpen we would really be good. Gotta' go to our right fielder to try and get out of the inning. Man I love this team but this relief pitching is frustrating as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like HS when you have to go to a position player to pitch you out of a problem...but Robert did a good job and kept the score at 5-2 going to bottom of the 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm convinced Robert will be a pitcher as a pro. He showed a 94 mph fastball right there. Has so few pitches on the meter. I'm wondering if Butch will eventually make him the closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeagleAU 594 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It's hard to believe auburn is losing to a team that got beat by both in state rivals uab and Alabama (both are having dismal seasons). Hopefully they can pull this one out. I really feel like auburn being ranked a top 10 team is being too generous right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,406 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 We have battled and had our heads in the game all year but doesn't seem like the case tonigh? I've only read this thread, however. i said after the Georgia series that good breaking balls would be our undoing. In my opinion, Georgia showed everyone how to pitch against us.

True but it's a big step up and far as I can tell, he only has one pitch he can count on ....will need a lot of work but as noted, has a fresh arm and might be worth the effort for someone to teach him what he needs to be successful. It's not just about a fast ball these days. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have proven it against good teams who have good hitting and pitching. seems, going back a couple coaches, that the midweek pitching crew have had issues. Might be a dumb comment since we've done well since early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not enough depth....need to save about 6 guys for the weekends but still leaves 9 or 10 who should be able to get us through ONE game in the middle of the week against a team like Troy. frustrating to everyone ...especially BT I'm sure.

Who knows, there are still games left to work on batting issues such as hitting a slider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Very athletic play by Robert to cover first and make that out....looked like there might be a collision but guess the base runner thought about it and decided running into a 230 pound guy was not a good plan.
