[CTCanes]

Cmon west you gotta have that. Easy out.

 

[ewcanes]

Don’t see that happen often, just broke a metal bat in two pieces.

Absolutely embarrassing play by him. Popups are considered K's when calculating FIP because they are outs at the same percentage (very close decimal difference) to K's.

Sosa was very intently shaking and listening to one of their bats on Friday

Hot bats are an epidemic in D1 college these days. So much so that you're seeing it brought by national outlets.

There are a few different ways to do it and one is to shave them down so they whip like a golf club effect.

I'd have asked to take the bat and have it examined in that spot. Was my first thought. After bleeping West.

I don't think I've seen a pitch more middle middle than that call

 

[Lance Roffers]

This umpire. Shoo-buddy has he been awful.

Wake definitely getting the breaks thus far.

Umpires have been awful through 1.5. Ciscar has been lights out

 

[BP Joe]

This is a big flipping game for both teams and it is most likely to be a razor thin game.

Calls like that make no sense and even if he gets the next batter out have a cumulative effect by rolling the lineup and adding stress pitches to the pitcher at worst.

And Miami gets runs at best.

And it's not even the rule, i.e. there was no intentional interference w the defender and he didn't step on the white bag.

 

[ewcanes]

Amazing how much feeble contact we manage to get with metal bats.

Wake a pitching factory and their weekend rotation is excellent but I agree overall. We seem to make a lot of defensive swings.

I'd like to see us get our best swings off unless two strikes every time we decide to go.

Singles have their place, but the college game is about damage.

 

[canesbsblfan]

seems like an odd time for a visit from Laz

 

[Lance Roffers]

Lucky inning, but we will take it!

 

[ewcanes]

We got a break or two that inning, let’s use it.

 

[CTCanes]

Way to stay on the tag Jake. A lot players would give up on that.

 

[BP Joe]

Can't imagine their stud set-up guy is available today. Let's get into their bullpen early.

 

[scane]

Didn’t think you could hit out there this weekend

 

[Lance Roffers]

Let's GOOOOOO!

 

[BP Joe]

Sosa!! That was bomb in that wind.

 

[Lance Roffers]

Some damage!!!
