BB G3: Louisiana 4, App St 9

The formula for losses is there. Freebies. We win when we don’t give up free stuff. That pretty much goes for most teams, I suppose.

[Million$Mullet]

I still don’t understand the chipper experiment. He shut us up for a weekend. Other than that he’s not been good at all. We can hit our way back into it but the free base runners thing got old a long time ago

[LifeTimeCajun]

We gotta run their starter and get into their bullpen

[Dad04]

And that's why I hate the intentional walk to load the bases. Menard hits a batter to send one home.
5-2 App. Menard is done.

I was at a high school game in Orlando years ago. One of the head coaches was Frank Viola, World Series MVP, Cy Young winner, who coached his kid's team.

Right as the game ended with his team winning, he said to absolutely no one in particular "Not sure I've ever seen somebody intentionally walk the go ahead run on base to load'em, but whatever."

Today it did not work out and Viola doesn't think much of the move either.

Hard to understand how Hammond, a kid with a sub 2 ERA and quite literally our most reliable option out of the pen all season long, continues to not be option 1 when cleaning up a mess.

But Chipper, the most inconsistent pitcher on the team, leads the team in appearances

I was typing a very similar post. Menard leads the team in appearances and has put 38 base runners on (23 hits allowed, 8 walks and 7 HBP)…in 18 innings

Hammond is lights out nearly every outing.

I get the lefty/lefty thing to an extent. But at some point, guys who get dudes out vs guys who don’t is a real thing.

Meanwhile, in San Marcos, South Alabama, up 10-2, scoring ten runs in the top of the 2nd and still batting.

This is exactly what we needed today from South Al. And we decide to gift 3 runs so far to App by walking them in
