re: Tide Baseball 31-27 (12-17)

BINGO!! He’s not the answer. He’s Jimbo on a baseball diamond. We should never be this bad. Limits or not.

how many strikeouts?

bama doesn’t have a pure hitter in the lineup, yet they take tons of strikes like they need to “see” one. wth is the on deck circle for?!?!? so passive at the plate!

when i coached, we stressed the rise or fall in BAs depending on the count. most of bama’s guys must think they’re ready with an 0-1 count when they’re really in the hole after one pitch and have allowed a good pitcher to then work them. my high school teams took better swings at breaking pitches than alabama!

sorry to rant, but bama baseball is some frustrating shite!! no two-strike adjustments at all. swing at crap in the dirt. hands below the ball.
should learn the basics in the 9th grade!!

also i don’t think there’s a player/leader on the team!

ok, i feel better now….

I’m dead.

You cannot make this stuff up.

A yeoman’s effort by McNairy tonight. 112 pitches and gave up one run through 7 innings. Bama responds with 5 hits, 5 walks (<-Rose got 3 of them), 10 strikeouts and 8 left on base. Drew 0’fer, Zane 0’fer, Bryce 0’fer, and combined, they stranded 7 of the 8 runners left on base, Pinckney was also 0’fer but got a walk. How does an entire team collapse offensively? (Coach Murphy holding on line one). Need to win 6 of the next 10 games to finish at .500 in the conference. Better find some answers quick - with efforts like this, it’s hard to imagine another W.

Baseball Falls in Low-Scoring Game at South Carolina, 2-1

Jacob McNairy allowed one run across his 7.0 innings of work in the start

A pitcher's duel between Alabama and South Carolina finished in favor of the Gamecocks, 2-1, on Saturday night at Founders Park. The Crimson Tide is now 25-19 on the season and 9-11 in Southeastern Conference play.

Jacob McNairy was masterful on Friday, tossing a career-high 112 pitches across 7.0 innings to match his career-long start. The senior allowed just one run on five hits and issued two walks while striking out seven to tie his career-best total. He kept the ball down all night, recording nine groundball outs, including a double play, with his lone mistake coming on a solo home run in the third.

The Tide was able to answer with one run in the top of the eighth, thanks to an RBI-single from Dominic Tamez. South Carolina came right back to regain the lead in the home half with a sacrifice fly proving the difference.

South Carolina starter Noah Hall matched McNairy with an impressive outing, working 7.0 scoreless with eight punchouts. Matthew Becker (2-3) picked up the win in relief for SC, while Dylan Ray (1-3) suffered the loss.

From Head Coach Brad Bohannon
"It's the same story – we're doing a lot of really good things, put together some really good pieces, but we make a critical mistake that the other team takes advantage of. They found a way to put a ball in play with a runner at third and less than two outs, and we haven't been doing that. If you walk the leadoff batter in a tie game in the eighth, it's going to come back and get you."

Show someone the money and they will come. Mal backed up a Brinks truck to Saban’s house in Miami and said I’m not leaving until you say no.

Give me his overall accomplishments. Tell me who would be more consistent? Then name a coach we’ve had not named Jim Wells that’s done the same. He would be a major improvement period. This team isn’t going to a regional. Bo did his part now someone needs to take the torch or you can torch this program if it goes another 2 years with him at the helm.

I wonder what the P&L statement for the baseball program shows.

The U of A just spent 42 million on the Joe. Looks like we're geting around 3,500-4,500 on games.

Perhaps the proposed NCAA change to allow 35 baseball players to be on scholarship is our best hope.

That would leave no excuse for not being able to compete. Why they picked baseball to hold the limit on was stupid but then again, we're speaking of academics. They wrote the books on stupid and approved them as well.
