SaltyTiger 7,820 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 7 of last 12 batters for Bammer reached on freebies. Disappointing. But Hey, if we could find a way to win the weekend back in the mix of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,343 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Huge win on a great effort by Vail. Continue to be perplexed by our pitching though. I’m watching Larue set up on the inside of a 7-8-9 hitter and our pitchers throw 3 straight non competitive balls to the outside. Never seen anything like it. If Nelson pounds the zone tonight, we have a chance to clinch the series and possibly sweep if we don’t have to go deep into our bullpen. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,167 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 3 HBPs in the ninth... We are 13th in the conf in walks. The mental aspect of baseball is tough. The staff struggles with pounding the zone so the coaches rightfully get on them about throwing strikes. It gets in their heads... They start aiming the ball... Getting Gonzo back will cure a lot of this. Veteran player who can command the zone. Nelson's last few outings have been very impressive. CBT made the point that he is the only pitcher to come to his office and ask to get the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,343 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Side note: our baseball team has been on an impressive run with Butch. Super Regionals and Omaha trips are happening. We’re playing Bama in a crucial mid year series. There are thousands of AU Family members on this site perpetually for Football and Basketball. But there’s less than a dozen of us even mentioning AU baseball. I wish our fanbase cared more about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBT does it the right way with good kids who love Auburn (see e.g. Kason Howell). I went to the Arkansas series, and their weekend attendance was 27,000. 9,000 people per game when the daily high temps were in the low 40's and the wind was blowing 10-20 knots. It was miserable and the place was still packed. If Jimmy Rane had not stepped up big time our NIL efforts this year would have been really bad. Even with Jimmy's help we are still near the bottom in terms of NIL $$$$. CBT loves Auburn (one of his daughter's and son-in-law's just moved back) but Mississippi State stinking it up like they are is not good for us. If we don't do better in NIL, we will force his hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,343 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Down 3-0 in game 2 due to walks and HBP (again). Sheehan comes into pitch in the 4th and quickly loads the bases on HBP, HBP, and a walk. New pitcher comes in and walks the first batter he faces on 4 pitches. Time to turn this off and have an adult beverage or 2 or 3. War Eagle anyway! Edited April 16, 2023 by Gowebb11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you all the way and very perplexed. Maybe biased in opinion but Auburn baseball is one of the more enjoyable things on campus. Locals do a great job. Outside of that the following is poor. CBT is great and probably doing a better job than anyone could do here. He genuinely loves Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
