I'm really concerned about one aspect of this Tiger baseball team...

So, here we go. I've got a legitimate concern that the Tigers may have forgotten how to bat in the bottom of the 9th at Alex Box.

If I remember right, they've only had to do this 4 times all year:

1 vs BYU Feb 21st W 6-5
2 vs BYU Feb 23rd L 4-9
3 vs Brown Mar 1st W 4-3
4 vs NwSt Mar 20th W 2-1

As you can see, our record isn't perfect when batting in the bottom of the 9th and I think this is a concern. What if these boys have forgotten how to bat on the back 9? This could spell doom for regionals and super regionals.

I say we fire Javi.

...the only real concern should be we don't have enough .400 + hitters ..

The ninth inning has a bottom half?

I'm just saying, hopefully they are simulating this situation in practice so that when the time comes, they haven't forgotten.

This type of pressure can not be simulated in practice.

This is why game threads should be started early

My only concern is the team hasn't hit a slump yet. Just worried it will come at a bad time.

we've built up a "buffer" with these 3 series sweeps so even if we lose more than one series (barring we don't get swept), we'll be ok

I think he's disrespecting it, not missing it.
