OSU Rubber Match

[ftwfrog]

He certainly affected the Saturday game by not getting outs on Friday. And today his first pitch ended up as a two run single.

He affected the game Saturday when we squandered chance after chance, our starter didn’t make it into the 3rd inning, and our closer came in and gave up 2 solo home runs??

Oh, that’s right, our closer had to pitch on Friday. Like i said, blaming this weekend on one pitcher who pitched a total of an inning is a bit much.

Lots of blame to go around. Including two starters that totaled 4.2 innings.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Yes. As did every batter that failed to get hits with RISP of which there were many. Team losses.

Lack of consistent pitching is putting a lot pressure on the offense.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Right now he ain't fooling no one.

He wouldn’t have to fool too many if we plate maybe half of those stranded? Maybe a third? Maybe a fourth?

 

[Pharm Frog]

Lack of consistent pitching is putting a lot pressure on the offense.

Lack of cashing in on opportunities to build leads is putting a lot of pressure on the pitching. See how that works? Team

 

[Pharm Frog]

I agree with Dirt early. We should regret that first inning in a big way.

I don't think Haylen Green was going to pitch more than a couple of innings Saturday. CJS was out there pretty quick to get Green. Probably the plan was to get three innings from Green and go to Eissler. Get Eissler back into the role he excelled in earlier this season.

If Saturday and Sunday starters can’t give us at least 5 innings the rest of the year is gonna be pretty much like this weekend.

Yep. But maybe some of these close ones fall our way. That’s the hope

Or pressing offensively because you know you need all the runs you can get with the suspect pitching.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Missing Russell Smith right now.

Conference is real mediocre so we’ll probably win our fair share.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Missing Russell Smith right now.

And Sloan.

Our pitching is straight up bad. Lodolo King and then no one else I trust. Good grief what a blown series

You don't trust Perez?

 

[MadFrog]

We have to sacrifice the middle game. Don't let Perez pitch except on Friday and Sunday. He probably is not strong enough to pitch 2 days in a row. If we had a rested Perez instead of Cal today, then OSU does not score and our 9th inning run might have won it. I cant think of any reason to let Cal pitch again. He is like JJ. His career is over.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

And Sloan.

Forgot all about Caleb Sloan. Saw Smith pitch in a playoff game, his last game, and was so good. He got outdueled by Burleson Centennial's Jacob Meador, a 2019 TCU signeee. Sure hope Meador ends up at TCU. Could really use him.

So who do you use Saturday with a one-run lead in the ninth?

 

[LawFrog504]

You don't trust Perez?

I guess I do. The BS yesterday was worrisome but he threw Friday so I guess not totally his fault.

 

[MadFrog]

So who do you use Saturday with a one-run lead in the ninth?

I let King pitch a second inning. I think he threw only 8 pitches yesterday. He has proven he can go 2 days in a row.

 

[LawFrog504]

I've been very weary of doing this, but we may be at the point where we give King a shot at starting. Williamson is at best a shaky sunday guy, but we have to stick with him. If King can help us saturdays then I may be look into it. But I guess that Screws us for sundays unless Williamson improves, god damn
