Runner at 3rd, no outs, two pop ups and batter that never swings. Tough one.

Yes I don't understand why Schloss pinch hit for Sorrell using Binderup, but their has to be a reason
And even harder when you have a chance to tie it in the 9th and out of every option you send BB up there knowing damn well he's not going to get a hit. Mind boggling.Randy Rhodes said:

I was on radio for Blake's AB. Anyone know why he got the nod to PH? Don't really love our available options I guess Targac still has that swing and miss in him, and Kent has struggled in SEC play. Maybe Kaufer to try and work a walk?
Edit: some of yall are being way to hard on Blake. He's still a fish. I'm sure he earned that chance in practice and it just didn't work out. No need to act like he's the worst player ever.

Not a fan of the decision to take out Sorrell there… but hey I'll take a series win on the road against a top 25 team

Schloss messed this game up big time. Should have pulled Kaiden, should not have pinch hit for Sorrell. All I can think is that he wanted to give some guys in high leverage situations a chance to step up, but everyone he put in failed big time.
I think this is it, and he got his answer.

I won't second guess Schloss for pinch hitting--plenty of others will beat that horse to death, but I do question watching a slider down the heart of the plate with 2 strikes, and just jiggling your shoulder at it.
Yep. That's on the batter. And on Ali for fouling out with a runner on 3rd with no outs.
Very frustrating game. Bama got a ton of breaks and calls, but you have to get a run in from 3rd with no outs in that situation. Three terrible at bats.

Tough one to swallow today but another series win on the road against a top 20. I'll take it

Apparently looking for a walk bc he never swung. I guess we were playing the bad odds with the bigger strike zone.
Road series wins are always great, but that's 2 road series we should have swept.
We have to quit using Asch in games we are up big. Flame away all y'all want, but it would have been nice to have him available for 4+ innings today.

I do agree with you for once. I don't get that.

Probably because was lost at the plate thanks to the umps zone. He was arguing balls and strikes every at bat.
Yeah. It's not like he'd have given up HRs in his appearance or anything.PhatMack19 said:

Stuff happens. Good series win.
Can't watch a hanging slider for strike 3, and I didn't understand why Schloss kept Wilson in after getting in trouble. He pulled Peery with a 1-2 count but let out the leash for Wilson. Head scratching stuff.
That was a poor way to end the game. Lot of shrinking in the moment just like most of our bullpen today. Seems Schloss challenged the team without our best players in key situations. He won't forget who faded. This is a luxury of having one of the best teams in the country, as much as any loss stings.

He closed out the #1 team in the country in a 4 inning outing to salvage one win. I imagine it felt ok to him.
Yep. Gotta agree with this one.

I serious doubt Schloss knew he wasn't going to get a hit. The batter should have swung at strike 3. And Ali should have had a better at bat. A lot of blame to go around when you don't score with a runner on 3rd and no outs.
A .230 hitter that has not hit sec pitching. Again, I love schloss but wtf??? Kent? Tar? Anybody else but BB!91AggieLawyer said:
Would someone please explain to me why you pinch hit a .233 hitter for a STARTER hitting well over .300?
I absolutely HATE the idea of pinch hitters except for pitchers (if they bat), cases where a sacrifice will come into play, or to get a better bat up there.

Yes, you'd think THERE is a reason but who knows
Only reason I see is a minor injury

Yeah shame on him for getting frozen on a nasty slider. And Ali not getting a clutch hit every single time
That's even worse if he didn't. Everybody else that has been paying attention knew. Based on what he's done, what gives anybody the impression that BB had a chance especially against this guy?aginlakeway said:AggieBB said:And even harder when you have a chance to tie it in the 9th and out of every option you send BB up there knowing damn well he's not going to get a hit.

Didn't need a hit. Just a sac fly or groundout or something.BohunkAg said:aginlakeway said:AgE2theBONE said:

Would've loved to see a win there, but great series win for the Ags!

Should have swept? Disagree. A lot has to happen right to do that.
How many SEC teams have swept road series this year?

We get it you don't watch the games. Sorrell is not a .300 hitter right now. He's a .260s hitter right now. Only starter under .300 actually iirc.
I'm talking about this particular clown. No idea about the team's historyHungry Ojos said:dixichkn said:"Never been to Omaha and never going to Omaha, so ima just act a fool right here right now"Aggies2009 said:Hilarious.Sharpshooter said:

It will be interesting, to say the least, to see how Schloss explains pulling Brock on what seemed to be an incredibly tight leash, leaving Wilson in too long even though he yanked Brock with a 1-2 count, and pinch-hitting for Sorrell. Still Schloss' #1 fan but have a hard time agreeing with some of the decision he made today.
I mean he's hitting .265 not "well over .300" but I have the same question.91AggieLawyer said:

Don't understand the Binderup PH, but oh well, another top 25 road series win!
We're still the number 1 team and people acting like we just got swept. I get being competitive but geez.

It's baseball. And it's the bottom of the order.
