In all fairness to Maldo, that slider that was going to land in the back of the LH batters box. No way that ball can be hit, certainly not with authority...except dude did. He hit a 7-iron off his back ankle. I suspect Maldo and Corbs and Brownie would take that pitch in that situation everytime.Vandy187187 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 7:31 pm Why we don't use every arm we can is beyond me. I said it earlier. No reason for anyone to pitch more than an inning with this BP. Be fresh, be nimble

Re: Vandy vs Tennessee Game 1
I didn't say it was a bad pitch. I'm just saying you can throw another arm they can't guess on and hit a 7 iron over the fenceLevon wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 7:36 pmIn all fairness to Maldo, that slider that was going to land in the back of the LH batters box.

Re: Vandy vs Tennessee Game 1
I didn't say that you did, and I don't necessarily disagree with you. All I'm saying is that Maldo threw what is almost always a game-ending strike-3. Did the hitter guess slider? Probably. But you still gotta hit that bending, diving monster. And to his credit, dude crushed a largely unhittable pitch.Vandy187187 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 7:38 pmI didn't say it was a bad pitch.

Re: Vandy vs Tennessee Game 1
Well the game comes down to who is most likely to hit a HR now. Not our formula in extra innings against UT. And maldo still threw 50 pitches so he's done this weekend. Could have quit the 8th with like 10 pitches and the rest of the weekend to come back again

Is Polk that bad at D to bring in Hewett? That guy is struggling at the plate and Polk was seeing if
