I'm baffled about the decision to bring Kyle Serrano in in the 7th down only two runs. I'm baffled that Lance was the guy you bring on to PH, 4 at bats all season until today...I hope people don't take that as being negative...I just don't understand those two decisions.
Coach S is obviously trying to help his son, Kyle, break out of his pitching slump. I think the kid is pressing to hard, trying to please his father and the team and live up to his high school reputation. He needs to settle down and get his mind straight, then he will be OK. As far as pinch hitters, it has always seemed to me that most pinch hitters don't get the job done, but I guess the regular player is not getting the job done, so you take a chance with another player.
Auburn will likely find themselves in the top 25 mix on Monday. Boy, Hoover is going to be exciting! Get your tickets now! That first day will likely dictate the first few out for the NCAA selection committee. I think this may be the most even the league has been in quite a while.
We are going to be fine. I have come down from my high, teetering perch above the rest of the middle of this conference. I have to say its a lot less nerve wracking down here. If we win tomorrow, we are still exactly on my proposed pace to make Hoover at .500 in conference. That has to be the goal. I predict we come out loose tomorrow and put up some very good AB's, hopefully ending this series on a high note. Go Vols!

I believe KS has tremendous potential. Maybe something is happening in practice that I don't see. Based on the games...He shouldn't have been out there. It pains me to say it, I don't like saying it, he's been given many chances...mental, mechanics...whatever...it was a two run game...to decide the series. We have more experienced guys...
It's just one game and I realize he needs experience...I just...I'll be ready to go... bright and positive tomorrow.
GBO!!!
Valid points Vol66 but when you score 4 runs in two games and have bases loaded 4 or 5 times and don't score a run. That to me would indicate more than just who PH and who pitches. Just my take on it. GBO

Question is, if KS wasn't his son, would he be given all the opportunities he has so far?
