Butch historically has a very good staff by the time crunch time rolls around. Allsup is good. Not about to judge him on a few early season bad pitches. He has a full season of appearances from last year to judge him on. This ain’t his first start. Hopefully he’ll improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Florida (top 5 in most polls) stumbled out of the gate, lost 9-5 to St. Johns. Vandy had to score 3 in the bottom of the 9th to overcome FAU. Florida Gulf Coast is wearing out TCU..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel sure he was on a pitch count of around 80. Made it through 5 I think and did get the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like the weather will be to your advantage this afternoon if you're not feeling great, breezy and cool...? This is the one I'm really interested in, Gonzo could be a huge lift to our starting pitching. He won't make or break us I don't think, but man if he could get it together for a full season.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like last night was the best game weather wise. May at least go over and catch an inning from the parking deck but imagine it is overflowing with folks waiting for basketball. Would love to see Gonzo come back in his previous form. Fun to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Just connecting the dots, I played high school baseball with the Maners kids father. He was a couple of years behind me, but I think the legend is that Sammy Dunn claimed Martin never made an error in practice or a game at SS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Gonzo really looking like he hasn't thrown a competitive pitch in a year.... Everything seems to be a struggle so far, but the defense has been very friendly turning double plays in each of the first two innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
difball 310 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Wish Butch would lay off the bunt stuff - gave away a free out and now we are smashing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Back to back to back extra base hits in the third, Tigers up 4-0. Pierce tripled, McMurray homer and Stanfield tripled. EKU RF misplayed what should have been the third out; they really should have been out the inning without giving up a run.

mustache eagle 2,406 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Gonzo took a couple of innings to settle in and had thrown a solid next 3. Defense let him down like it did in yesterdays game about the same point. crotchfelt and n to start the 6th. Guessing they had gonzo on about a 60 pitch count.

mustache eagle 2,406 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I hope our catching does well this year. I know that position will have better O but I’m worried we’ll miss LaRue’s D.

Crazy on campus this afternoon. Everything you would expect after that kind of layoff...loss of velocity, trouble locating, wouldn't throw a breaking ball, timing off (two balls called on pitch clock violation in the first), just not all that fluid. Gave up 1 unearned run, walked three and struck out two. Not awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Irish play 3rd? McMurray isn’t giving up 1st. green is athletic enough as witnessed by that snag a couple innings ago but his arm seems a little light at 3rd?

Without knowing for sure, my guess is that Irish wants to catch and Butch wants to do everything he can to accommodate that bat. Not saying he would leave, but it's got to be in the back of everybody's mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
