GoFrogs: Cincinnati at TCU Baseball Series Preview

[PurplFrawg]

I was there - the key is we swung....not watched 2 strikes and then went after one in the other box

So in other words, we hit him 2 days ago, but today we have never seen a sidearm delivery. Your goal posts move a lot.

Do we have 3 runs in us? And 0 for them?

did you watch Friday? maybe it approach at the plate but we didn't stand at the plate and watch strikes like we were shocked the ball was moving from behind the box to across the plate - so maybe the guys got stupid in the last 2 days or maybe his ball wasn't moving - but I just watched 4 guys in a row come to the plate and not swing at a single pitch that entered the strike zone but did swing at 3 that ended up in the left hand batter box.

its 9-7 Cinn in the 8th

 

[Dogfrog]

only two of those pitches were outside - our guys didn't swing at any of the strikes but 1 and swung at 3 balls -

Umpire didn’t adjust to the low outside pitch to left handers. Missed at least two or three.

13 called strikes in 5 batters isn't an umpire strike zone issue

Yes, I watched Friday. I saw three out of five batters hit the ball. But today, you think we act like we have never seen a sidearmer and further suggest that we look like a 13u team.

If three of the called strikes were balls it is.

[ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ] - watching 10 strikes is little league baseball level at bats

Yea. We need 3 more and they can’t have anymore.

and? they do - sorry having your clean up strike out never swinging the bat with 2 on and no outs in a 1 run game is 13u. The next two guys doing the same thing - especially since Stros just showed what it looks like to swing early on him - is even worse

 

[LisaLT]

Let’s go!

 

[LisaLT]

Well do we have 2 runs in us now?

 

[LisaLT]

Bummer

 

[hornedfrog86]

Sad finish

 

[QuilterFrawg]

<sigh>

 

[helcap]

Won the series but can't feel good about pitching

 

[PurpleBlood87]

After all the chances to bunt with no out and runners on first and second, Cadena decides to try and bunt for a hit to open the ninth.

That decision was baffling.

 

[Big Frog II]

I will say, I don't remember a series this late in the year where the wind blew out all three games. Lots of homeruns this weekend.

 

[ShreveFrog]

We’re the 3 seed headed toward final week of league play with a good shot at the 2 seed. If you told me at the start of the year we’d be here without Abeldt and mostly without Kleck I’d take it.
