  1. Hey fat hog bitches, we won the fucking conference you flat nosed filthy mammals. <— what you should say next time. User name checks out.
  2. That’s true too, the criticism you lobbed was about those of us saying Schloss didn’t pitch this aggressively to win. Fact is our offense has been so so all year. We aren’t winning giving up 7. We just aren’t. look it’s fine. You make good points but you aren’t addressing the answers to your criticisms. It’s fine I don’t care.
  3. Agreed but Schloss didn’t manage pitching as though this was a must win, and sometimes a conference tourney is a must win, you know that. You avoided the question, it’s fine but don’t act like my perspective or hornsby’s is just without any merit. The game didn’t matter, he staffed it accordingly, still tried to win and offense and defense couldn’t pull it out when saunier and burns flubbed it up.
  4. I mean I was like fuck man that’s a dead body with a LOT of silicone get the fuck away before you get accused.
  5. Didn’t make anything up. You have the lead 4-0 and it’s the 5th inning with runners on. Grubbs, Burns, Saunier, and Volantis are fully rested. Pick who pitches 4+ innings. You win and you are two wins from a title and Harrison and Riojas are fully rested too. I’m going Grubbs 2.2-3.1 and Volantis the rest of the way. And it saves both of them for the rest of the weekend.
  6. I know burns pitches a lot. I don’t think in the 5th he goes to him or saunier, I don’t. Not game one in Omaha. I could be wrong. You get 5 from your starter in game one it’s Grubbs then Volantis. Game two is different but you still go to Volantis. Shit there are weekends that’s exactly what Schloss did, starter, Grubbs, Volantis. Ethan went deep enough for Schloss to do exactly that, he didn’t. Why? Not a must win. Just because they have the most inning pitched (behind the others) doesn’t mean they are first up in a situation where you only need 4 inning of pitching to win.
  7. I think RR too.
  8. And honestly except for Harrison who probably coulda used a pressure 4 innings this weekend, it worked out great. Ruger gets to rest he seems like a tired arm, Grubbs and Volantis got meaningful innings but we didn’t ride them hard and now we get ready for the regionals with the possibility that Ethan is a guy we can go to. I’m just not that upset here.
  9. Of course we tried but not like it really fucking mattered. Let’s put it this way, it’s game one in Omaha, you really think the pitching decisions are the same? We got lucky with Ethan and Schloss didn’t change his approach at all, he pitched the B team until it was late then he put in Grubbs and Volantis in the 8th+ to see if we could hold TN and offense and defense our way to a win. We almost did. But game one in Omaha, assuming the starter does the same, the pen rotation looks MUCH different. And likely the score is 4-1 in the 8th when Volantis comes in to close. Instead it was 4-4. Yes Flores but there is no argument Schloss handled the pen like this game was optional in middle innings - which it was. That’s just not debatable.
  10. It’s not why we lost but we wouldn’t have lost had we pitched like we had to win. That shows Schloss knew we could win without using up Grubbs. Shit’s nuanced, your better than your comment.
  11. Stats don’t lie bro. He still gave up the hits, and took 2 earned runs in 3 outs of pitching. The error on Jalin leaves the other runs out of it.
  12. We fucking do the Lionel Richie “Ballerina Girl” impression on lefty breaking balls. Twirling around like the god damn high school color guard.
  13. I bet you argue with strangers on obscure Facebook topics that don’t fucking matter. Saunier didn’t do his job and Jalin made it worse. neither he nor Burns are the go to’s in a must win game. They will back fill with a lead or when we give up in a game strategically unless we have to use them. We didn’t have to use either of them today.
  14. According to the box score, no he didn’t. 1 inning, 3 hits, 2 earned runs against 6 batters.
  15. When the strikeouts come with walks, timely hits, and 5 runs or more then it’s ok. We’ve been abused by the same and 1-2 runs per game in the DP era.
  16. Pitching was not handled as a must win. We’ve been over this.
  17. Yeah that was a supreme fuck up. I’m not too worried about his defense in the post season tho.
  18. Forgot about saunier he was in for so little time.
  19. Really just one play. But it was huge
  20. Grubbs in relief first.
  21. Bunch of fucking pussies on this board.
  22. He wasn’t he was recognizing we didn’t bring A team pitching. We went to the pen in the 5th? We would prefer our pitcher to last longer or even bring Grubbs in sooner. Bottom line, Schloss didn’t pitch this as a must win.
  23. Glad Grubbs and Volantis got some innings tho.
