You’re overreacting in an immature fashion. Vietmieir lost the battle when he could not execute his offspeed and let the count get to 3-2. At that popint you had to keep throwing fastballs and hoping for a fly ball or a grounder. You could not walk. Him with who was on. Deck.

Then Hess came in with the game tied and blew it. Sure, in retrospect, you could try something else, but coaches don’t have the benefit of hindsight.

The arms they needed weren’t ready. We seem to be consistently late at having arms ready to go.

Vietmeier should have never been in the game to face the tying run who was one of their better sluggers. He shouldnt have been in the game to begin with, but certainly not in that spot

If you can't throw a changeup right over the shitter for a strike after throwing nothing but fastballs, you don't belong in the SEC.
