Why did they walk that Debarge guy? Is he any good?

Maybe their coach got the memo

Nah, they rather him walk than dance.

Trey 3-3 so far.

Higgs almost with an RBI single. Just missed it. I’ll give him partial credit for the good at bat.

Need that production from the 1-2 in the lineup.

Their pitching is in the Sun Belt top half statistically. Hitting is near the very bottom.

Sun Belt umpires are OUCHEA. 1st base ump says Pastore went around on a check that wasn't close and then gets rung up on a ball in the other batter's box and low.

They have really had their struggles offensively. I am really surprised that Will Turner has struggled the way he has this season (hitting 118 points lower than '23). He is a good college ball player and legitimate 3-hole. Perhaps the lack of protection, hence having him in the leadoff spot. I would take him on my team any day.

The 3-2 pitch to Holt by LP was significantly better than the strikeout pitch to Pastore.

Brian

Well f

How about a offspeed pitch

Crushed or skyed / Dan McDonald.

I think we’re due a few home runs too.

Thunder and lightning here in south Lafayette / youngsville. Just in the distance.

No rain.

Need to get a move on. The weather gods are holding the storms along the 190 corridor, but that looks to be running out of time.

If Higgs does not get on here, they will intentionally walk Debo.

Brian

Tie game

And now they will walk Debo, but with the game tied. :)

Nice work, Higgs.

Brian

I like that version of Higgs

Though I would love to see Calvi pitch to Debo. It can only help Debo, regarding the kind of arms he will see in the postseason.

Brian

Time for JT to make them pay

And South Al (that was intentional) is the first to intentionally walk Debo twice in one game.

Brian

Great hitting this inning!
