This should be good for a couple of more Liberty runs…good grief!
Harlan gets out of his jam. now for our offense
Tech went from Burroughs not making the second consecutive post game show to being there.
Liberty pretty much did nothing but show up to almost win the game. Tech can’t afford to be so complacent.
There was a whole game of errors, bad pitching and leaving runners on base with bad at bats. You really should pay more attention to the details of the game.
The game was clean through six innings. Then the plate ump decided to change the strike zone, giving 3 straight walks. That changed the whole game.
Good offense in the ninth though.
As for LB not doing post game interviews when we lose...it's a slap in the face to fans and I'm guessing TA doesn't press for those interviews that he doesn't know how to conduct. Don't need to make our coach "uncomfortable".
Sharky knows nothing about baseball. He's a "rose-colored-glasses" kind of fan. That's okay, we can always use those optimistic fans around. They help to keep we realists from going nutso.
Overall, talent-wise, Tech falls in the "mediocre to fairly good" category. On a scale of 1 to 100, the Dawgs are about a 65.
As for the game itself, too many walks and too many errors. And yes, not playing in the moment, situationally, when on offense. That is measured by that awful stat: LOB. PawDawg loves for Tech to leave runners on, he thinks the higher the LOB the better the team is playing. Well, there are some LOB numbers that ALL teams experience, but the really good teams simply don't in those "situations." Games can be won/lost in the first few innings just as much as the last few innings.
Now, to put my red & blue glasses on....How 'bout dem Dawgs!!! Tech needs to win this series. I doubt a sweep is in the cards, but 2-1 is good.
Go Dawgs!
Burroughs made some unusual pitching decisions that I hope don’t cost the Dawgs in the next two games. Thankfully Nations and Hooks didn’t throw much so hopefully they can pitch again even if just an inning or two either Friday or Saturday. Historically Harland is who Burroughs puts in when he’s conceding the game and is the least arm in the bullpen. Going into the 9th Burroughs wasn’t expecting his bats to win this game. They really hadn’t showed much capability the last few games that was earned and not given. It’s a very good thing that Tech was more lucky than good in a few situations. Luck is a part of baseball and counts just the same as skill, so I’m thankful to have it when it comes. As for the gremlin umpire, he was seriously bad at times and way more so going against Tech. It’s a good thing Burroughs chewed his ass when he did otherwise it could’ve and probably would’ve gotten even worse. Tech needs a sweep in the worst way for any future NCAA hope. Go Dawgs! Here’s hoping we start playing up to our potential a lot more.
