Obvious statement. Time to practice hitting for a week.

Disappointing to see with such great pitching.
I don't think the problem is as much swing mechanics as it is mental approach. This team simply doesn't do the little things right to have good, productive at bats.

Good news is that is easily fixable. Bad news, they have been doing all year.
Easily fixable? OK.
Compared to fixing mechanics, yes it is easily fixable.

Oh well at least Dox is available for a regional.
Isn't that what's important? Even IF Dox is there and somehow shuts them out, we're going to the 10th now. Would you want him to come out for the 10th? Let it go, dude.


Why even show up for the tourney then? Are you there not to win it? Stupid analogy. You don't pull a kid with a no hitter going to the 9th....period.
I mean, that's quite a jump you're making from "save a pitcher who's approaching 100 pitches" to "Just forfeit the games". Nobody said to forfeit the games or anything close.

a) You don't know if Dox was tired, hurt, etc. Coach was talking to him actively in the dugout. You weren't.

b) Pitchers have been pulled when they have no-hitters before, especially in tie games. If we were up 3-0, I'd have felt different.

c) You'd expect your offense to score a run and your bullpen to get you 1 inning. I agree taking out Miller was a huge mistake. Not Dox though.
Do you have an example of a starting pitcher being pulled after throwing 8 innings of no hit ball? Don't use the Astros no hitter where they threw five guys.

They don't deserve to host

Yes we do.


Winning one game in the SEC tourney... no.

Winning series against Vandy and Arky... yes


Losing series to lsu, being swept by Ole Miss, and losing series to Miss State... No.
Also add in there the losing series at the SEC tourney. I don't know how much the committee looks at tourney's but we just went 1-2 at ours.

Personally I think we get a 2 seed.

I certainly would rather 1-2 our way, scoring four runs total, out of a road regional than a home one.

But I hope we get a home one nonetheless on the small chance we show up capable of contacting a ball with a bat.

There's a great idea. Injure your ace pitcher right before a) the postseason and b) he gets drafted.

You'd make a helluva coach
Why even put him out there, then? He has thrown over 100 pitches almost every single game. Him throwing another 10 pitches is not going to injure him.

It's pretty simple. You watch games where our guys look at strikes and swing it balls. As a result, they get behind the count consistently. They are not seeing the ball well. Why? One cannot see that which you do not look at. This is a concept that is taught coaches to T-ball ballers. The bat sits on their shoulders as if it's glued there. The bat is your weapon, gentlemen. Besides your brain and your body, your PAT is the only other weapon you have. watch the ball, swing at strikes and take balls, and hit.

He could have pitched 27 no hit innings but he would still have to answer the bell in the 28th. At what point do you save his arm for the NCAA tournament?

Its not like he was at 120 pitches. The dude isn't made of glass. Why not see if he can pitch one more inning, or one more batter? If nothing else, he earned the right to at least start the 9th. That is a gutless manager.

Its not like he is a running back. Why bother showing up if you aren't going to do everything you can to win?

I'd have probably let Dox go 9, but that's it. No issue with him being pulled there though. Without him, this team would be trash.

The regionals don't start for another week. If he pitched 120 pitches he would still get an extra days rest.

In what scenario would we lose Dox 8 days from now if he threw the same number of pitches he does on average?

He wasn't even up to his average pitch count. He pitches more than this THE ENTIRE SEASON. And he will still have an extra day of rest before the regionals start.

By your logic, why pull him in the 8th? Why not pull him in the 6th? Why even throw him at all? 15 days of rest is obviously better than 8 days of rest.

We could've played another 9 innings and not scored, so why risk injury to Dox? I can't believe this team just went 18 innings without a run and the hot topic is when we pulled our starting pitcher.

Seely may work with the hitters but the offense belong to Bolt. Plus, Seely is on the road recruiting for much of the year and is not likely to be on-site as much as is Bolt.

Yes, throwing 169 pitches is the same as throwing 10 pitches less than your average. You're right. We probably shouldn't let anyone throw more than 20 pitches since closers can't throw many more than that. No one should be able to. They might get an ouchie.

First, I am not a Childress apologist. But, his pitching staff did more than their share to win games in the tournament. So, I'm not quite ready to say "fire Childress".

It is the offense that didn't show up the last two games. The starting pitchers more than showed up.

seeing people put blame on the bullpen speaks volumes to how our starting pitchers have spoiled us -- we're expecting every pitcher to be essentially flawless.

Unfortunately Childress is the head coach and not just the pitching coach. He is responsible for the performance of the offense as well as the pitching.
