Yes, I'm sorry. I am slipping in my old age. It is Zane ADAMS who was the Friday night guy and who was pitching well until he had a couple of games in which he got knocked around a bit.

He certainly could lock down the third game. Or he could go against the other squad's ace on Fridays. It is a tough decision to make.

Do you know if he got injured and push down the rotation for rest, or if something else is in the minds of the coaching staff?
Interesting.

You know, I kind of like Quick going against number 2 for the other team. He gives us a really good shot at winning that game. That guy is drastically improved this year.

Alcock gives us a good chance in the 3rd.

Perhaps Fay and the BP can steal a game 1, although the past couple of Friday nights have not bee great for them. That said, after the bad 1st on Friday, Fay, et al., shut Missouri down the rest of the way, IIRC.

We just seem to be missing that 3rd quality arm.

Perhaps Alcock can move back to Fridays. He obviously has talent. He also was good against Missouri.

I know. They are terrible. :lol:
ANNDD Austin Morris comes in and immediately gives up an RBI Triple off the wall.
Quick has looked good against admittedly not the best hitting team. But, I am happy to see him locating some off-speed stuff. He walks off without giving up any runs over 5 2/3 and we have a 6-0 lead.

Are these getting removed with lopping shears or something? And do you know how needed pinkies and especially little toes are?

George Wilson UA 92 championship team blew off one of his little toes with a shotgun, and they had to do a lot of reconstruction building a big mound of flesh where it once was in order for him to be able to walk.
Just looking at Missouri, you can tell why they are 0-18.
Did we finally get to that sinkerballer?
Dude interviewing coach Vaughn meds to ask what the crap is wrong with the pitching? “Coach, your pitchers are getting obliterated in the first inning game after game can you talk about that?”

I don't want to pump sunshine, so I will just be honest. You suck as a poster. You are a tired horse with the negative Nancy then, "I'm not a sunshine pumper schtick." It's like you have a permanent 14 y/o brain.

Offense wasn't really the problem in the Vandy game. The defence couldn't stop a sneeze. I mean you never truly stop a sneeze, but...

Won but damn our pitching staff is going to limit how far we go this year.


Stimmt. We are better than in past years, but still have a ways to go. We have the bats to really keep us in games, but our pitching, while markedly better, still does not have the kind of talent that we would like. We are giving up FAR too many runs to just about everybody.

Don't know what we will do in the portal, but a quick Look at PG and our recruiting class has me only really excited about one pitcher, and don't know if we will be able to keep him from going pro.

We are improving though. Keys are keeping Lebron, and bringing in a few ready-to-go elite pitchers.
We had a quarterback who three times ran across the line of scrimmage and tried to complete a pass. One time he tried to run back behind the line again and pass the ball.
Turned it off. We are done. Connor Ball is now pitching.
I am of course kidding.

I am extremely cautious with guns as well. I just cannot bring myself to appendix carry. LOL.
You can definitely carry pistolos that don't have a safety while having a round in the chamber. Keep your finger off the trigger and things are fine. Glocks don't have safeties and get carried like that regularly.

In the end it is up to you. Some people don't feel comfortable with a round in the chamber, but practice drawing and chambering a round without thinking about it. Nothing worse than squeezing the trigger in an emergency and nothing happens.

Not me. I go looking for trouble. :pimp:
This is not the Alabama of 2 years ago that had zero chance of competing and got into a regional due to playing in a tough conference. This team can win.

We have had a string of poor performances against some teams whose records on paper weren’t great but who absolutely have talent. Auburn is not some scrub team. Last weekend proves that.

Tough streaks come to every team. Adams’ pitching has been poor for a couple of outings. Last Sunday’s hitting was not what we want. Nonetheless, one looks for odds to even out.

Confidence and mindset also has a lot to do with things. LSU could come into this weekend’s series shaken by what happened last weekend and drop this series to us. Don’t be shocked.

Are we going to win the conference or the tournament? Highly unlikely. Can we win a regional? Yes. Posssibly a super regional if we are playing well.

We are heading in the right direction. Our coaching staff is good. And we have the best player in the country at short and batting second.
The TLDR is that Based Crimson thinks our coaches are stupid enough to start a true freshman with talent over a 5th year senior who knows the system and has his own talent.
