Sosa has to stay home there, that’s an out.

This is true, he has to read the runner...and worst case scenario the force is everywhere.

My biggest issue is why the **** does the closer come in while we're down and he's been struggling a little. Dorn had no reason to get pulled there.

 

[ewcanes]

Do college outfielders even practice throws to home? Seems 90% of them are nowhere close.

That guy was basically at 3rd when Dubrovik fielded that.

 

[CANESCANES]

Ogden bunt straight back to pitcher on first pitch is brutal

 

[ewcanes]

Yikes Jake, not the time for that bunt attempt.

Risk/Reward there was AWFUL.

Not what you want to do with one of your last two outs

 

[ewcanes]

Cuvet’s big swings are hurting the team.

Bilka is necessary right now but I would hope that sometime this season he is removed from the closer role. Disappointment is an understatement in that acquisition. He is not a p4 closer but believe he could help us out of pen in post season just not as our closer

 

[scane]

At some point we need to get a new closer, going into the postseason with Bilka will be coaching malpractice.

Dorn and PBC are probably higher up the bullpen trust tree for me at this point

We go down with West and Ogden bunting in the 8/9 innings when we are down. Thats just not good enough. No real team is doing that.

The West bunt was fine. Williams baserunning was bad...and the Ogden bunt was just stupid, very low probability play

Middle inning game...maybe. As a closer he is damaging. No inning is clean with him and he got rocked this weekend.

It’s not fine. Down 2 in the 8th no real team is bunting the 5 hole. You need multiple runs. Bunting there is playing for 1.

Durso is no better. Only guy really dependable is Dorn.

 

[Sumcane]

Gotta see it down.

Awful baserunning strikes again.

Putting 2 guys in scoring position is not playing for one. It was fine. And real teams find ways to score runs when the offense is stagnant.

UCLA an absolute drubbing of South Carolina. My God
