He swung 1-1 and just got under it fouling it back.

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.
Yeah shame on him for getting frozen on a nasty slider. And Ali not getting a clutch hit every single time

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.

Yeah Sorrell got a sack fly his last AB. Exactly what we needed him to do here.Aggies2009 said:That bottom of the order is pretty dang good.BohunkAg said:Aggies2009 said:Didn't need a hit. Just a sac fly or groundout or something.BohunkAg said:aginlakeway said:AgE2theBONE said:

The pinch hit hurt more than helped IMHO. Sorrell had a good weekend.

Sucks that we missed out on a chance to tie Arky for first in the west

Just like 2 weeks ago against SCar, I'm super glad that we won the series. But it sucks losing the last game by one run. A game we totally could've won. Even though it was a successful weekend, I'm still leaving it with a bad taste in my mouth.
Yep. If we do this in a Super Regional or Championship series, I'm 100% okay with it.aginlakeway said:BohunkAg said:aginlakeway said:AgE2theBONE said:

We didn't need a hit. Sometimes it's on the players.
So we take the series and stay #1 ranked. Not a bad weekend at all!

When Targac gets out, it's usually by way of strikeout. That's one thing we did NOT need.95txags said:Sean98 said:I know we say don't question the master but I gottaAggieBB said:

Why he wouldn't ph Targac there is a mystery to me?
Nothing terrible about Chestnut's AB, it just was unlucky he was up thirdJDay said:
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.
If you don't go to Aschenbeck right then, and Bama makes a run, you end up using him anyway and burning another arm in the pen that we needed today.AggieBB said:This. So much this.PhatMack19 said:

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.

Stewart looked really strong today, too. He kept us in it early after Lamkin got pulled.twk said:If you don't go to Aschenbeck right then, and Bama makes a run, you end up using him anyway and burning another arm in the pen that we needed today.AggieBB said:This. So much this.PhatMack19 said:

The problem with the pitching this weekend was the short starts, period. 3.0, 4.1, and 1.2 is not usually going to result in you winning a road series. Some good bullpen work, and great hitting, gave us a chance at a sweep. If we get better results from our starters, the bullpen can be dominant. Aschenbeck, Cortez, and Sdao are looking really good, and others are contributing.
I'm going to guess:The Marksman 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.
or the SF he had to walk the game off 4 days ago. His K rate is high, and the potential for a DP (which is why I wouldn't look to Kent there) but it's similar for Blake. I have to think coach felt Sorrell was in a bad place mentally after his earlier at bats. Maybe he'll explain and I'll understand. Maybe I won't. World won't change either way. Old guys did what they needed to get is in position. 1&3, 0 outs and I think this team scores 90% of the time.Aggies2009 said:When Targac gets out, it's usually by way of strikeout.

It may be getting time for a switch on Sunday.Mark Fairchild said:
Agree, but Lamkin just doesn't seem to have the pitches to put batters away. Today, he just "went away".
Needa take care of business over the next couple weeks before Arky. Hopefully, we can win 7/9 in those next three series. Sweep UGA and then win the series at LSU and Ole Piss.The Marksman said:
When it's all said and done though y'all, we are the #1 team in the country, 35-5(13-5), and our offense has scored approximately 1 million runs these past two weeks. We've got a few easier SEC series these next few weeks before we get Arky. Season is still going great.
Sorrell did really seem out of sorts. While Binderup seems a head scratcher, there wasn't any real clear better option.Sean98 said:or the SF he had to walk the game off 4 days ago.

Related note. Only 1 SEC road team has swept a series.
It's very hard to do.

You just leave Sorrell in before making this move. Sorrell 2x the SLG at .560. I like KK but he hits into a lot of double plays and slugs .290. He's not the guy for that situation imo.McInnis said:
I wonder what Kent did, or didn't do, to get himself buried? Is he still traveling with the team? If you wanted a big pinch hit opportunity to rehab someone, I wonder why not him? He usually makes contact.
It's hard to question Schloss, but kind of hard not to today.
