Since I do not get to see the games, I have to go by what I hear on the radio network. And some of the comments, by the rest of of the peanut gallery.

What is the obsession with breaking balls? It seems that we throw them over 80% of the time. WP, PB, whatever............the risk is higher. Plus, if you can't get the ump to call them a strike, or fake the hitter, you are in trouble. You run the risk of yet another BB, or letting them sit on dead red.

In any case, we battled back, and then what would seem to be (to someone who does not actually watch the game) some bad decisions, by our bench staff, gave them a gift.

CNS would say "some teams practice until they get it right.............we practice until we can't get it wrong." Someone might want to point that out, to this staff. To either get our catchers to keep those pitches in front of them, and/or the pitchers throwing them for strikes.

We have too many good kids, on this team, to let them fail, in these pathetic ways.

And that is all I have to say. I think. Until tomorrow. No radio, since the gals are playing GT, in the WNIT.

Had to come by and get everyone's take on the game. I agree with those who believe Goff's poor decisions cost us the game. Had a chance to win a series @ the number 8 ranked team and blew it. When a guy doesn't have it, pat him on the back and say get 'em next time and bring someone else into game. Go for the series win and if you don't win tomorrow, so be it.

sorry if anyone is offended.... I thought this was big time college baseball. The best conference in the country. This isn't the Alabama little league. These kids and their parents better know that. Everyone don't get a trophy. Don't worry. I will NEVER post on here again
SEC, please post again. I don't think you said anything out of line. I think the reminder was towards me for calling Webb a clown.

How much quality practice time can you get in during the season when you play some many games? It appears that our players need more time in the film room learning what they did wrong than anything. These coaches need to use the film to do some situational teaching. If they are doing this then it's not translating to the field.

I hate I missed all these games this weekend since we went to Memphis, but man it sounds like it was a close, frustrating weekend.

We should have definitely won Saturday. Horrible decision making by Goff. I don't blame Webb who hasn't caught that much, Goff set him up to fail by putting him in to catcher Vainer. Throws a hard biting slider that quite frankly he can't control. If you run for DeVinny, got to sac the DH and put Kyle back there.
