Title: Re: I told you that these guys were feisty..... Post by: PirateVOL on June 08, 2024, 10:26:34 EDT Now the pressure is on UT. :wtf: 3 of the top 4 pitchers are burnedTheir starter today could pitch tomorrow as he barely lasted an inning Their starter yesterday is toast and their spot starter and other main relief pitcher have pitched a LOT (their spot starter was poitching the 9th today) of pitches both days Probably their 5th or 6th best pitcher went a lot of pitches today We have a bunch of arms well rested or marginally used to go with tomorrow Tomorrow we go Zander, Combs, Loy and then the pen The first 3 should get us through 6, maybe 7 Who they go with? Unknown The good news for them is the rest of the pen is rested The bad news is they have a high ERA and apparently little confidence in them by Wes Tony said after the game that CMO would play 2nd tomorrow. He looked to be laboring with the bad wheel today, not getting his usual drive at the plate He was limping in unguarded moments but on a "wild pitch" that went maybe 2 inches away from the catcher he took 3rd in the 9th Cal took a hard shot in the mask 2-3 times after that the home plate ump checked on him The interchange between Cal and CMO after Cal rifled a foul back at CMO was funny A lot of gestures back and forth with smiles on their faces Tomorrow the crew chief is behind the plate Edited to flea this from TOS: Deverman - 89 (Fri) - Their best pitcher and a true FR Harris - 44 (Fri), 24 (Sat) Schultz - 49 (Sat) - starter today, 2nd best pitcher for them Meyer - 13 (Fri), 57 (Sat) Hansmann - 24 (Sat) Smith - 52 (Sat) - looked worn out at the end today They have two guys who threw over 30 IP this year that haven?t thrown yet this weekend: LHP Kevin Reed - 7.38 ERA RHP Drew Fieger - 7.65 ERA both have over .300 BAA. Pretty clear they don?t really trust either or they would?ve pitched today. You might see one of them open to try to steal a few outs though. Title: Re: I told you that these guys were feisty.....

Yeah, I'm shocked as well :dunno: Title: Re: I told you that these guys were feisty..... Post by: Tnphil on June 09, 2024, 04:52:51 EDT Lowly 4th seed has scored 16 runs in 2 games....Today was the first time a overall 1 seed has lost to a 4 seed. Going into today it was 0-30.
Yes...IMO the pressure is on UT. Need to get out heads out of their asses and the last thing we need to make the pressure worse is to have to play from behind.

If it moves to Monday, all their pitchers get an extra day of rest. :banghead:
