Can I quote the great Frank Anderson? "If you do your job pitching, they can only get to third by stealing." Looked like it worked again.

 

[OldTimer]

and once again the stolen bases doesn’t hurt, pitchers focus on pitching and not the runners

 

[Volprofch05]

My guess would be stupid post (SP)

 

[VolPack22]

Tough to only have given up 2 hits and still losing.

 

[preacherman20]

Name an MLB pitcher who has a slide step.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Sorry. Can't agree. Most don't do it at next level so why now. Catchers hold runners.

I haven’t seen many major league pitchers that don’t throw from the stretch. Sure, some don’t, but it definitely isn’t “most.”

 

[taylorvol]

I agree with you, but others think we have the best coaching staff in the country.

Again, I'm all for our staff! Hope they stay for years and years. BUT THEY ARE LIMITED. Need a "baseball guy" in the dugout to help out in-game and at practice with things like...i don't know .....base running? Holding runners on? Recruit a catcher? But hey, if ya played a thousand plus games, including high level pro, don't mean much around here when ya offer good advice or criticism.......fwiw...

Sincerly,

Let’s eat this freshman up.

 

[wmcovol]

Yeah I agree. Wish they would change the approach.

It’s a decent strategy when you can score 8-10 runs a game. When you struggle to score 5 in SEC play, those extra bases can beat you. If it were so sound strategy, everyone in baseball would do it. FA is the only pitching coach I’ve ever seen coach like that.

Sorry. Can't agree. Most don't do it at next level so why now. Catchers hold runners.

Well, catchers at the next level don’t bounce balls off the pitchers mound trying to throw runners out at second. This is not the next level, this is college. Pitchers control running game with varied looks, long and short holds, pickoffs, being quick to the plate, etc

Ump is awful

 

[Christian Lowe]

Name an MLB pitcher who has a slide step.

It doesn’t have to be a slide step, just don’t spend 2 seconds on your leg motion when runners are on. I pitched and didn’t have much of a leg kick at any point, Mariano Rivera is the closest example to how I pitched I can think of. I did fine.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

This ump sucks.

 

[preacherman20]

We throw from the stretch as has been said just don't change leg movement. No slide step.

 

[Vtonerider]

The ump wasn't giving those calls to us earlier.

 

[minorvol]

Bad call on strike 2. Ump very inconsistent.

 

[knoxvol52]

They’re all going pro, at least our starters are. They will be forced to learn how to actually pitch from the stretch when they get to the minors regardless. They might as well learn now, because the pro teams won’t care about it being unnatural.

They may teach it in Minors but in watching major leagues some still go from wind up instead of stretch they just quicken their delivery to home plate

 

[Volstylexx]

Need to run him here. Got to get him into scoring position.

 

[VolPack22]

Would love a Dickey dong here.

Winner

 

[WillisWG]

Be a hitter Jared

 

[VolPack22]

Bwahahaha.

You see that guy swing like 2 secs after he was pumped out? Lol

He knew he missed one in the zone

I like sex party better

This is awesome. Can’t say I argue with the results, long term. Can say I have evolved in my thinking on this. Get the batter and the baserunners don’t matter. We’ve done it the last few years…

 

[preacherman20]

Yes. Mariano Rivero did not have a high leg kick.
