UA v Samford

[baseballfanatic]

Samford up 3-0 in the 4th.

I'm ready to change bats. They're putting us at a disadvantage power-wise.

Dang, I just now get to tune in to find us down 4-2 in the 8th, Samford with the bases loaded.

We're on our 5th pitcher. At least we got out of that jam.

Need some runs, we only have 3 hits thru 7.

Six hits in two games...that's just pathetic. This is Samford, we're talking about!!!

 

[edwd58]

I hear you JoJo, heading to the home of the #1 team in the country in a 'mini' hitting slump. Our runs tonight came on a Dugas 2-run HR.

It's gone final, Samford wins 4-2.

I know there are some that don't put much value on these midweek games, but it is aggravating to lose them...

What's more aggravating is we're getting owned the last few years by Samford.

If they can't get more than three hits against Samford's midweek guys, Sonny Gray has an excellent chance at a no-hitter on Friday.

And I'm sick of losing to teams like UAB and Samford (especially Samford).

Off-topic a bit, but I'm more convinced than ever that our bats are putting us at a disadvantage power-wise. After seeing a few of our guys square one up and it be short of the wall, then seeing their little CF (who can't be more than 170 lbs) square one up that lands in the trees, and a couple other of their guys get a "not" solid hit that still goes to the warning track, it's either the bats, or we have a terrible strength program.

I don't remember the exact dimensions of Samford's home park, but 1 guy on their team shouldn't have more (equal, now) homers than our entire team combined.

I know we're not a "homer-happy" team, but that doesn't mean that we CAN'T hit one.
