Vandy Game 1, Thread, Friday
- Thread starter karlchilders.sixpack
- Start date
How does a guy play start at catcher, when he can’t hit, can’t throw anyone out, and struggles to block balls in the dirt?
How is this guy the 2nd best catcher we have on campus? Couldn't even start at Pitt. Just more lazy recruiting.
Easy. Find a team with no leadoff hitter, and the DH slot (see leadoff hitter) with no production all year. Perfect fit.
It has gotten so bad I have started calling a few of our batters statues. They watch the ball go by and don't move.
Won’t take us long to get bounced out of Regional somewhere as a low 2 seed or 3 seedStill no hitting. Only 1 hit all game. Non- competitive at bats. We may not score all weekend.
Another pathetic showing. I wonder how much it would take to get Butch.
3-4 then 6 then the rest! Chance, Mershon, Hujsak and Puliam are competitors! Hines has zero drive- he looks like he don’t give a 17, 42 needs to quit trying to be the savior, Larry looks at more strikes than anybody I’ve ever seen, Koehler is just not sec, and Johnnie 17’n Long tries real hard, just ain’t a hitter!
This game came down to 4 pitches, a hung slider, a mistake fastball and 2 wild pitches!
How's it the catchers fault the whole GD team couldn't hit a ball to save the season? It's funny how the scapegoat is a player and not any of the coaches. Especially the head coach or hitting coach. Get shut out that ain't on a single player; that's coaching and team. I'm listening?
I don’t know if anybody else has been there, but, when you give a sh$@ and nobody else does, it’s 17’n tough! We got 2-3 that care, the rest just playing for a payday!!
Didn’t blame the loss on anyone. Got beat. HappensZ
what I did ask was why someone continues to start whose is woefully inadequate to play the position. Time to give someone else a chance.
But that’s on Lemonis I guess
I’d rather just keep Lemonis. Butch wouldn’t be an upgrade.
Why point out the deficiency at one position and not the whole team? You always default to long but no one else. There's lots of finger pointing to be done but yours always bends towards long and no one else. Just stating a fact.
I agree. But I want neither. Time for a refresh.
1. Because he is literally one of if not the worst regular starter in the sec
2. his defense alone costed us 2 runs tonight
3. the other positions we are deficient at we’ve attempted others players at. We haven’t at catcher.
And him "costing" us two runs made a difference when the team scored ZERO!
I'm excited that lemonis has played pulliam. He's the bright spot from both denfense to offense.
coaching/ recruiting is the main issue.
Did y'all hear that Chance is #2 in all of D1 college baseball with the least number of strike outs.
Little did we know, they had enough for the win after one pitch.
The bats are a major concern. DJ has carried us at times, but can't be depending on that constantly.
Blame it on me. I forgot we had a game. It was the first time in forever I have been so disinterested in our team that I totally forgot we were playing an SEC baseball game. For some the all of the excitement of this season got to me.
When a catcher can’t hit his weight he needs to be elite defensivel. They score some pitches wild pitches that should be blocked up.
It wouldn’t have made a difference tonight, you’re right. But may tomorrow. If pulliam made 2 errors at second and misplayed two others… he likely wouldn’t be out there today. He’s thrown out 0 runners all season, Vandy is second in the league in steals… would make sense to put someone back there who has a shot at throwing someone out.
Your up 5 runs. The runner at first can steal 3 bases and your still up 4. He didn't mean anything. Concentrate on the freaking hitter.
