Same. Also clearly the pbp needs to stay with you.

Did Werner try to tag the runner before going to 2nd?

No he just double clutched on the throw to second, if he doesn't do that it's not that close of a play at first

Thanks trouble for starting the thread,
Thanks jkag89 and Sea Pony 07 for the updates.
Thanks trouble for the Play-by-play

See Y'all on Friday

Umps just gave a big gift to the Ags.

I thought they would overturn!! Glad they didn't!!

That was a little too much excitement in the 9th..... but it's a win.

Never a doubt…

Not really, you couldn't see the runners foot and the bag so there just wasn't enough video evidence to overturn

I know I know

Must have win and Haas delivers the big knock! He's been so good this year in every phase. Thompson has also been stepping up offensively of late, which really helps with Kaufer beginning to log some better at bats in the books.

Concerns are ample. The top half of the lineup went .176 against Tarleton tonight, with one of those hits coming from Minnich who left the game due to injury. Werner-Bost-Targac go 0-fer, which happens far too often. Every spot in the lineup (outside WBT) is either hitting or improving their average week to week but it is so glaring that the three amigos just can't figure out how to get base hits. Bost seems to be a victim of hitting it right at people or leaving it at the warning track over and over much of the season, but Werner and Targac just look like easy outs at the plate with no confidence. No way Schloss is benching Werner due to his defense and occasional power display at the plate, but Targac is just a liability anywhere you put him in the line up. With Minnich presumably out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, Schloss can't afford to keep Targac in the lineup any longer. I'm not sold on Wells in RF, but Chestnut/Tucker/Kent/Tracy appear to be chomping at the bit for more opportunities and I hope they get them while Targac sits the bench from here out.

Hopefully Minnich is back soon, Werner and Bost turn things around with the bats, the rest of the lineup doesn't fall into a slump, and the pitching staff hits a sustained trajectory of improvement. But we'll need all of those things to see any meaningful post season play and that is a very tall order.

Yea I'm unsure what's going on with Warner. Move him to 7 or 8?

Also, Minnich is just freaking snake bit this season. I really feel bad for the kid. And if he's out, we might be done. Tucker? Chestnut?

Phone died in the 9th last night. Good game everyone. See yall on Friday

That was a great pressure executed DP. Was awesome.

We all jumped up and screamed over here. Thank goodness the neighbors know how we watch baseball.

Targach is not going to sit much, nor should he. Too much raw power and can change the game with one swing.

Agree to disagree. Consider how Targac ranks offensively among the team and there is more than enough justification to warrant more opportunities going to other players and not Targac. He ranks near the bottom in virtually every offensive category among just the everyday players. Throw in the back-ups and he falls even lower.

Which we have seen very little if all season. His at bats for the most part are pretty bad. At some point, Schloss has to move on. He's not a great fielder. Getting on base is his greatest value, and he's been pretty bad all year.
