This is why I raised the question. He's the closer,almost by default. He's not handling it well...eerily like Miller. I do agree however that somebody else would have to really step up for there to be a change.Tate - just not getting it done
All you said is accurate. It was bad baseball in the 9th. The Cards were feeling the pressure. Unlike them.I only caught the radio portion driving home, but it sounded like Tate was victimized by at least 2, if not 4 errors. No question about the error on the dropped infield fly rule, and should have been one of Humphries throw from right field. There was the infield grounder that hit the heal of the glove before going into centerfield, and lastly it sounded like the one fly ball to left could have been caught ……is that what anyone saw for themselves?
I know the one walk and the hit by pitch are on Tate, but that followed errors and may have affected what appeared as his control of the strike zone.
Yes,they played so well up to that point,other than stranding a few guys on base. They'd been dialed in all night. They're pretty good when they are.The Cards were feeling the pressure. Unlike them.
Hawks' strike to ball ratio (~70%/30%) was off the charts. Really filled up the zone. McD said postgame he was trying to mix in 3rd & 4th pitches (slider & changeup?) for the 3rd & 4th time through the roster. I'm pretty confident that after the 6th he would have been pulled quickly if he got in any trouble but he retired 12 in a row after a leadoff 5th inning single.Nice start today. Good contact hitting taking the ball to right field and up the middle. Humphrey and McCoy sitting. Farone not keeping the book so I wonder if he isn’t starting Friday??
SureAnyone want 2 tickets for tonight's game against BC? I can't make it down there.
😅😅Text the password McD to the following mobile # Humphrey+Lohman+0+Grundy+0 and I'll transfer the tickets to you.
100%. I get it. If I were in his shoes I very well have attempted the throw myself. BUT, where is the communication? Fact is…the throw didn’t need to be attempted at that time.Humphrey's throw was an attempt to show why he should stay in the lineup. He knows his defense can keep him in while he struggles offensively, but he tried too hard and made a terrible throw. He's definitely pressing a bit.
Saw him out there in practice last FallPayton in LF tonight. CDM really wanting to keep all warm/hot bats in the lineup.
We will see a change next weekend on Saturday.Well…
2 quick outs and then the wheels fall off. Next 8/9 pitches were called balls. Then a line drive HR over the CF wall. Lucky BC only scored 3. Sad part… we did not have someone throwing until right before the last batter got up. WTH?
Should have been a change this weekend TBH. Now Bevin is struggling. Guess what? No one is throwing in the pen…We will see a change next weekend on Saturday.
Not sure,but there were a couple of weird games against maybe NC when we were in a huge hole.Just checking, but have we ever come from behind by that much in an ACC game before?
Looking forward to the return of West,another Freshman lefty, who doesn't blow you away with heat, but has some nasty off speed stuff.Campbell looked pretty impressive. Freshman lefty hit 95mph once and was at 93 mph pretty consistently. Coach said in postgame that the key was to keep him at one inning (for now) and he really responded.
