McEntire leaving the ball up as usual. He got lucky that inning.

I could buy a box blade for my tractor if I had a $5 dollar bill for every helicopter swing he's done and missed on a fastball right down broadway.

That last OM hit, the pitch was right down the middle. Not even trying to hit the corners.

He’s got the slider going, but you can’t leave a 88-90mph fastball above the thighs

He’s trying, he’s just not doing it

I would be shocked beyond belief if OM doesn't hit multiple homers off McEntire in this game.

In the 1st inning, every hit they had was an extremely hard hit ball, including a screamer that Stovall grabbed and a warning track piss missile that somehow didn't go out.

Here come Rowland and Bolton to kill the energy.

ETA: and as I post that, Rowland strikes out.

Two slugs in the lineup, no doubt.

I don't even bother with Rowland and Bolton anymore. Predictable as all as can be.

How the hell is Bolton above the Mendoza Line?

I watch every game and quite literally don't recall seeing him ever get one single hit. Hell, I'm not sure I've seen him get one out of the infield.

And to think we had Battles last year who was hitting piss missiles out of OSU's stadium.

I'd move Stovall over to short. He's got more range than Bolton. Give him the 2nd half of the season to settle in. Put Jones or Holt at 2B and see what they can do.

Bingo.

I suggested this very thing this morning, but if Coll, Holt, or Jones aren't trustworthy enough to put at SS, then move Stovall to SS and platoon those guys at 2nd.

At this point, I'd be willing to sacrifice something on defense for someone with a pulse and pop at the plate.

Bolton has a near .200 slugging percentage. How is that even possible?
