tigeraddikt 1,621 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Those 2 runs scored on that error at 3rd sure came in handy for the Wildcats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we’re right in several of these. Pitching was serviceable and offense fought back. Take away 1 swing of their bat and/or the dumbass routine bouncer at 3rd, we win this game and start off the weekend with a W. Apparently we have lost the last 2 games because of an error. That should be correctable. We aren’t totally outclassed in several of these losses. I believe there’s enough for BT to work with to turn many of these frustrating losses into wins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArgoEagle 1,808 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I would not call having runners on 1st & 2nd with no outs, down by 1 run in the bottom of the 9th to the #8 team in the country, with your 3&4 hole hitters coming up with a chance to tie or win the game (a joke). Our guys just are not coming up with the clutch plays that the other teams are executing in crunch time and we are coming up just short, whether it be pitching or hitting. Also I would venture we have played the toughest SEC Schedule you could imagine. I'm tired of losing, BT is tired of losing, the players are tired of losing. If we could just get that monkey off our back and win 2 in a row, I believe that would jumpstart us into winning some series. But to say we're a joke is ridiculous. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,417 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 We’re giving up an unusually high amount of 2 out runs and 2 strike hits. And giving up a lot of high velocity hits and home runs. It’s one thing for that to be happening to one or two pitchers. It’s another for it to be happening to almost every pitcher. At some point you have to question Teaford. Either he’s doing a bad job calling pitches or he’s tipping his pitches. Either way, I’ve seen enough of him already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTiger 7,890 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I would say last nights loss was a total team and coaches effort. 4 straight two out singles and if memory serves me three of those hits came with 2 strikes. We are out of that inning with no damage if Weiss is in position. Apparently had the shift called with 2 outs and 2 strikes. Baffled.

Gowebb11 9,417 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Game 2: Gabe gets another runner thrown out at home by a mile. This makes about 7 or 8 by my count. Sent 260 pound McMurray who was out by about 15 feet. He’s been doing it all season. So frustrated with so many components of this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,417 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Inning 2: lead off single by Peirce. Then Standfield ‘bunted’, except he popped it up all the way (80 feet) to the first baseman. Another momentum killer. Unreal. 😅 Edited April 12 by Gowebb11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no baseball guy so it just seems weird to me. Didnt even think of the pitch calling. Is Teaford or the catcher - mostly Ike- calling the pitches. This didn’t happen last year with larue?

TigerPAC 983 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It’s mind boggling to us, imagine the team. I could look it up but too lazy—I’d hate to see runs scored VS runs given up in SEC play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All pitches are called from the dugout and sent per the “new age” communication device in players hat. Looked like KY pitches wear a wrist device. I liked the old body and hand signals from the coach and 1 is fastball, 2 is a curve, 3 is a change up. Loved to see ingenious ways people came up with to steal signals.

Woof. If there is some light at the end of the tunnel, our last four series are against teams that are also struggling in conference play (Ole Miss, LSU, Missouri, Alabama). They're also looking at us as a chance to get well. Goal 1 is to make the SEC tournament. As it stands now, we're out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
