Everyone is saying we have Regionals which I understand, but man on a year like this, when a week ago we weren’t even sure we’d make the post season, I’d sure like a SEC championship.

Not when you’re playing for next week. We will need both. Your trying to juggle prep for next week and playing through this game.
goodness the regionals don’t start for 5 days there is zero reason to pull him mid inning like that

Well he stated plainly he was only seeing one more batter because we have important games ahead. More of a direct quote of the national championship head coach and less of a company line.

You can’t excuse that dumb decision to pull Ack

I know most of y’all don’t normally watch baseball nor understand baseball, but there was a predetermined pitch count for Ackenhausen. He was coming out after 50 pitches no matter what.

Not a bad move by Jay, I’ll take a loss here 100% of the time to win a regional


I get it. But there's no way to know when/ if you will even need Ack. There's so many pitchers you can use situationally next week. You could save him for next week and he may come in and be ineffective.

The truth is he was absolutely dealing today. I'm not saying running to 100 pictures but man maybe let him get you through the 5th

I thought our fan base was fairly intelligent when it came to baseball.

Then this thread. And… the number of morons in this thread thinking Jay made a bad decision pulling Ack.

Every single one of you dumbasses thinking Jay made a mistake need to just stop watching baseball right now.

What part of pitch count do you not understand?

What part of needing to have fresh pitchers for next week do you not understand?

What part of this game is totally irrelevant in terms of this season moving forward do you not understand?

They need him for regionals.


Agreed

1 out or even 2 batters and at most 15 pitches wouldn’t have changed anything for his rest.

Seriously…if this was a “must win” game, Gage Jump would be on the mound.

Yep. Terrible decision. Which made it even worse is he’s throwing Little now. Almost a 7 ERA

And that’s supposed to be intelligent? Posters like you are pure ironic comedy.

Well you won’t be getting one so that’s too bad. The SEC Championship came and went. We did good to finish 13-17 though.

Have you watched a game this season? I hope you’re being sarcastic…Little is one of our best relievers

Despite what you yards think, it’s not the wrong decision to pull a pitcher if the next pitcher gives hits or runs.

Just like the last 2 games, the bats are what will decide the winner and loser.
