5th inning will be big. Rhett needs to keep it tied, and our hitters get to see their SP a 3rd time

agreed, this top of the 5th particularly seems high leverage. would love a quick inning and maybe a ground ball or two

 

[VOTSdeac]

These breaking balls. We have to start swinging at them.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

i'm not going to look at it through Wake glasses. i don't think it was a strike. i don't think it was particularly close. Ump has been inconsistent to be sure...

Sorry if i'm not meeting your fan standards... feel free to hit ignore

 

[1976Deac]

well your eyes are useless when your mind is blind. it was 4 inches out

Dude, the self-righteousness ship sailed at 11:00 this morning. Give yourself a break.

 

[DeacsOrDie]

Even that two strike slider was over the middle. Luckily he grounded out to Brock.

 

[KingCurtis]

Lowder looks way off.

 

[deacon14]

Their leadoff guy scares me, good hitter

 

[wufu bufu]

Good, if not perfect, inning

 

[WindyCityDeac]

needed that inning.

First half of this was a resounding success

 

[morrison2951]

Good clean inning.

Runs please!

 

[BoDeac]

Nice inning for Lowder. Let's get some runs here and break this mf'er open!

he is just not hitting his spots. Bennett usually doesn't have to move his glove that much

 

[WindyCityDeac]

been a long time since Kurtz or Wilken have homered it seems.

agree with this, and FB doesn’t have the same movement as usual. rhett is usually a pretty heavy GB pitcher, today has been overwhelmingly FBs

 

[wake20]

That strike 2 is the same spot on Rhett’s miss that led to the walk.

Guys it’s college umps. You gotta just move on

We don’t get their best for the super regionals?

Yeah my point
