Can Pollo step up for us again?

[engie]

No one has been a better big game player in their career(especially relative to their actual ceiling as a player) than this guy. He's been huge for us several times when our backs were against the wall...Can he do it again tonight?

Should be interesting to see...

First looking pretty shaky so far...

We've GOT to throw strikes here. 2 walks in the first so far is ridiculous. This Arky team will get themselves out with strikes...

Current:
183 hits on the season
145 free passes

Hopefully just nerves.... I think he'll settle down in the 2nd and get in the groove

For pitching to be our supposed strength, we issue a ton of walks. Teams get runs on us like we got on others last year. You only need 1 or 2 hits to have big innings against us because we continuously put people on base.

Yep, we're #4 in hits/9IP in the country. We are #137 in walks/9ip -- and that doesn't include our HBP's allowed...

5 walks thru 2.2 IP...with a run walked in...NOT stepping it up thusfar. Got to get out of this right here.

2 early gimme runs is already a pretty f'n deep hole against a pitching staff that only gives up 2.4/game...

Nice job getting out of bases loaded no outs with only 1 run

throw strikes and detz doesnt boot then its still 1-0 and its not like they're ripping his tits or anything. Need to get something going at the plate now

 

[engie]

Agreed...

Renfroe on first with 1 out... Time for Detz and Rea to step up right here...

ETR: Anddd another walk. That #6 or 7?

Next inning needs to be a big one for us with the top of the lineup due up...Got to get out of it right here with no more damage...
