Agree 100% .Pitch mentality is different at that point. he bounced a few breaking balls. That pitch may not be thrown if a runner is on third. Whole different psyc with Kramer on Third. B Jordan is just trying to lift one to the outfield

No its called getting owned all day by the gators pitching staff and get the lead runner to third with no outscout at all costs.

once Kramer got to second on the pass ball, Paul went from trying to tie it to trying to win it. He wanted Bryce to get a hit to get on base to get the 2-1 lead. i don't blame him, the team is running out of arms and the last thing it needs is extras

Paul fricked up so bad. That was just a clinic on bad game management. What a joke.

You're a fool

We only used 3 pitchers. We weren't strapped and wouldn't be tomorrow.

Why would you take the bat out of your 4 hole hitter in an rib situation
Because he hasn't hit the ball all game. Moving the runner to third allows you to tie the game with a fly out. Instead your 4 hole hitter struck out and you got nothing out of it.

You let your guy hit and try to hit it to the right side of the field. That way, he has a chance of getting a hit and not giving up an out. Only have 3 of them left, no reason to give one up for free if you have a guy up there you are confident can handle the bat.

Mainieri deserves criticism here.
Bunting on 0-0 and 1-0, then decide to trust your hitter who has struck out his 2 previous ABs
And If you're wanting him to hit there b/c you lack trust in your on deck guy, you green light 3-0
But Jordan showed why the bunt was the correct choice on the 3-1 and 3-2 pitches.

Agreed but we should be used to it by now

You hope you go 1-3 with the Jordans and a freshman between. Or you take an out. Hope Romero gets it to the OF or gets a hit, if not, the next guy gets a hit. I take my chances with Romero making contact over a freshman getting a hit.

No u need a run at all costs at that point....3rd inning different story but we were in do or die situation. Very poor team management

Not really, he just looked at probability of getting a base hit to score the run on a 3-1 count in that situation vs. bunting over. It's a 50-50 gut call. I would have bunted on 3-1 but you can make a case for either call. Lack of a solid left handed pinch hitter is a concern though.

Jordan wouldn't have been up to hit a fly ball if he bunted. Infield would have been in for Wofford and Wofford would have been 2nd out. No difference. Problem was no Reid
Posted on 5/28/16 at 7:57 pm to wahoocs
We wouldn't have scored either way
Posted on 5/28/16 at 7:57 pm to ell_13
While I agree, I can see Paul's reasoning. If Bryce just makes contact, Krob moves up. Throwing sliders, you hit that shite oppo field.
That last swing by Bryce was pathetic.

I just don't get Wofford there... Send Romero up first.
Posted on 5/28/16 at 7:59 pm to tigerskin
Meh. If krob is at third with one out, wofford is swinging for a fly ball to the outfield.
Having a runner @ third should change a batters approach at the plate.

That sounds good, except I saw his 2 previous ABs, and then he showed you the type of day he's having on 3-1 and 3-2.
And if you're going on his overall body of work and that you don't trust Wofford w 1 out and a man on third, don't square him twice.
Bunting w Robertson on first is slightly more questionable than advancing him to third, if you're questioning taking the bat out of his hands, IMO.
