I know hitting is hard. I get that the pitcher has the advantage and it’s probably the hardest thing to do in sports.
But if I have to watch Braswell swing DIRECTLY up to the moon one more time I’m probably gonna throw something,
I mean dam Mike make a dam adjustment, change your swing dude! That shite don’t work and it looks ridiculous. Having said that I love the young man and wish him nothing but success.

1. Defensively Brazzie has to be in there. Yeah he has had a tough year. But we have nobody else that will at least give us outs at 3rd.
2. Have no clue, last few weeks, Cowan and Evans started having some hiccups and Noot and Shores started to step it up. Then Noot/Shores shite the bed yesterday. Weird huh. Try being a coach and figuring that out. Head scratcher. Only ones left are Evans and Cowan.
3. Jay needs to tell the team one thing today. Go up there and be "free swingers". What i mean is, in an at bat your gonna get 1 good pitch. We play the "take" game way to much. Go up there and you swing at the first pitch thats "your pitch". Let em loose coach.

Schmidt is an interesting option
He really isn't. He has looked bad in pretty much every outing lately and considering the walk machine he is, I want him nowhere near the mound tonight. If you're seeing him tonight it either means the game is over for LSU or they have a massive run lead.

I'm just amazed that a pitcher playing at a program like LSU can throw pitches leading to 3 walks in a row at this point in the season.
This, they just have told Shores and Noot to transfer immediately after the game

What gets me is that we have seen Elite pitching all year, we should be able to crush that kid that pitched last night and if not when we get on base small ball may be the answer to this team, I mean that is all Kentucky has done the last 3 seasons and they put pressure constantly

So you’re saying stick with Braswells .208 average in the lineup?
If the alternative is to hand Ethan Frey, who hasn’t ever played 3B in college, and glove and tell him “good luck”. Yes, I’m sticking with the actual infielder.
Do you understand how much responsibility a 3B has outside of just fielding ground balls? Don’t bother answering, it was rhetorical. I know you don’t have a fricking clue.

I get the part about elite pitching all year. Funny thing about last night is we were still using the approach of let's make him throw till he is tired and we get him out of there. Against who? There number 7 guy? If people looked at the stats of the pitchers who threw last night , they'd throw up.. Again we "took" so many pitches dead red its sickening. frick the philosophy and cut em loose. Let them go up there and rake at what the see as their best pitch to swing at. You'll see a different team.

I'm more pissed we burned Williams yesterday who shut their hitting down. We sure could've used him today. While Evans/Cowan have shown they are our top guys consistently, we haven't seen them in 2 weeks and their last few outings haven't been their best. In other words, might be a reason we haven't seen them in 2 weeks. I'm particularly worried about Cowan because he seems to have been scouted. Evans is good but he gets in trouble in walks as well and usually just gets out of the bad situation with his ability. We can't have walks tonight. Do you start Cowan who has better command/control on his pitches or Evans who has more overwhelming stuff but could get you in a bad situation on walks?
Cowan has experience as a starter he can give you some long relief. I'm not sure how a freshman with the regionals on the line is going to handle it but then again, it probably helps to have Cowan behind Evans throwing because you have a guy with high velocity stuff then a softer thrower behind him. Throws hitters off more like this.

Man, I hope you’re right. I hope lastnight was a wake up call and Jay doesn’t allow the Batman glasses and boomboxes pregame, I hope they strap in and mean business and not play down to the competition

No I totally get that, Bear was a disaster at third. But putting Frey in the field gives you another decent at bat for a team that left bases loaded in back to back innings last night
You lose a game like tonight with walks and errors. Putting Frey at third creates an unnecessary liability. That is a drastic and unnecessary response to last night's game.

I think you start Evan’s, remember they were knocked around against much better competition. LR without the walks doesn’t run away with that game last night they had some hits but it wasn’t going to kill us and the pitchers we threw lastnight are not close to Cowan or Evans

I was asking because I don’t see a team with 2 major holes in the batting order getting through Omaha. 1 okay but 2 people that just can’t make solid contact is a real liability IMO

Enlighten me oh wise one.
We won’t even go deep. Here are the simple ones:
Does Frey know his responsibilities on the different bunt plays? No, he doesn’t.
Does Frey know his responsibilities and positioning as cutoff to home? No, he doesn’t.
Does Frey know his positioning in each situation with runners on? No, he doesn’t.
So not only has he not fielded a ground ball at 3B in 3+ years, but he has no clue where to be situationally, which is something you ingrain in those guys during PRACTICE.
But yeah, let’s start that guy at 3B.

That competition argument went out the window as soon as this team started getting hot. Their bats are better than our bats right now and they're playing good defense as well. They're not intimidated by anything right now. If you don't start treating this team like higher competition you're going home watching the rest with popcorn in hand.
I hate to say this but ump will have a massive influence on this game. Similar to last night the ump did not have the same strike zone for both teams. That happens again tonight, he's going to labor our pitchers into walks again. Our pitchers were not getting the calls off the corner of the plate last night and they just unraveled because of it.

All of those things I learned in little league but if you think a college athlete that’s been with the program for 3 years doesn’t know that then alright, let’s stick with Braswell

No you fricking didn’t. Anyone who’s played baseball even in little league knows you can’t just hand a guy a glove and expect him to play in the infield.

We had some bad misses on the mound too though, their pitchers stayed around the zone and pitched well in 3 ball counts. But yes I think you have to treat this team as if you’re playing the Dodgers not Arkansas Little Rock
