Auburn #2

Post by Levon »

How many fly balls has Bradfield hit this year? Speed is of no value on a routine fly ball out.

To your point, at least Bradfield did swing the bat. Sigh...

You also can't throw a fastball down the middle to the best hitter in the SEC. Because unlike our guys, he will hit it.

They need to get the coaches to pull the Willie Mays Hayes punishment to Bradfield. You hit it in the air, drop and give us 20. He should be trying to hit everything as a line drive or a grounder.

Hey, a Vandy ground ball finds a hole! When you pound 10-15 ground balls per game, the odds are one will get thru on occasion.

Leave a man on second with 1 out: can't get him in. FRUSTRATING

Should be keeping count how many low outside pitches left handed Carter Young pulls into a ground ball out to the second baseman

Why have reviews if you are not going to properly enforce what you see?

I guess I’m a fair weather fan. My give-a-damn meter is rather low at this point. 7 SEC losses in a row may be the tipping point.
