VaTech Game 1

[Bardman]

Ugh. Right-handed pitcher and CDM starts EKJr at DH. Makes zero baseball sense when you have left-handed DHs available. I hope he hits the dang ball.

 

[Bardman]

Guys (minus Munroe) not showing patience at the plate. EKJr first pitch, soft bouncer a bit up the middle - out at first. Ugh.

I guess Mac has to let him sink or swim,idk
I do wish he'd load it up with left handers.

That's what the doctor ordered!!

Let's get some runs!

 

[CardX]

My guy, Tague, in a bit of a slump.

 

[Bardman]

Top 5 and our guys still not being very patient at the patient. Again, Munroe is the sole exception so far. Forbes has thrown about 25 more pitches than the VaTech pitcher. The HR in the first off of Forbes was a massive hit. They have hit the ball harder than our guys.

 

[earsky]

Mac lamenting going after the first pitch and we do it again ...twice. Smh

 

[earsky]

Cmon Pike!!

 

[Bardman]

Second 2-run HR by the same dude. Game over I am afraid because our guys are not doing much at the plate.

 

[Bardman]

Thru 7. With 2 outs. VaTech 5 - Cards 0. Tech hitting the ball hard. Cards get a hit here and there but can’t out anything together. Just happens sometimes. DH is now 0-3 BTW. Switching over the WBB.

I stepped out for a minute. Was that a fastball?

I do think so.

 

[Bardman]

Game 1 loss. Give’em credit - they fought until the end and lost 4-5. But, man, bases loaded with 1 out and couldn’t get another run across. Pike 0-5 today.
