Anyone here read lips?
If so, maybe this team has some fight left in it from the top.

Looked like Buanco was the heated one

Can someone explain to me the purpose of a pitch runner down 5 runs and 2 outs?

Break Fontenot’s rythym. He had just found the zone again after walking 3 in a row. It was kind of a bush league move. Glad Fontenot got the k.

It was the right move for Ole Miss. A double with two outs puts you down one but in position to win. I’m glad it didn’t but it’s a smart baseball move

They could have cleared the bases with a double and needed another run just to tie. The tying run was the batter, not the base runners. It was not a smart, strategic move to PR in that situation.

Exactly!!! And it was something they were doing all game, especially with Hess. Calling time when Hess was in his stretch, taking too much time to get in the batters box, just little things to break his rhythm.

It was smart and strategic if you are trying to mess with the pitcher. It’s bush but don’t walk three guys in a row up 5.

And the runner at first doesn’t impact that scenario whatsoever. Regardless of whether two or three runs score on the double, the tying run is at second and you still need another hit.

Sure. Unless it's a ground ball up the middle and the only play is at second but the pinch runner beats it out to keep the inning going while the other runner would have been out by a step to end the game...

I agree with you that he must have sent in the PR to break the pitcher’s rhythm, which wasn’t good at the time. But I don’t think that’s strategic. It’s a bush league tactic. I guess it depends on how many fast PR they have. They used 1 in the 8th, and that’s why their leading HR hitter wasn’t at bat in that situation. MOT explained it better.

We won 8-3. Up 5 runs. If all guys on base scored on a double the runner at 2nd would not be the tying run. It would be the batter coming up after the double.

Nope, not the case!!! It was PM allowing Hess to talk to his batters after he struck them out going into the dug out!
what Bianco did is something all coaches will do in this type of game "both tied in the SEC standings" when the bye's in the SEC tourney are so critical to having a chance to win the tourney!!!

Good catch, so the op’s point makes even less sense than I originally thought.

Nope, you are trying to win an important game, no manager is going to get upset over that. They might not like it, because it has the potential maybe to accomplish that goal, but coaches do shite like that to break up the rhythm of the other team in games like this!!!
It was Bianco that was pissed and it had to do with Hess jawing at the Ole Piss players once he struck them out while going to the dug out!

I love it when people who think they know baseball, call something bush league. Since when did trying to win an important game become bush league?
