Yoyo is now 4 for 27 the last 7 1/2 games. His OBP is OK w a lot of BBs, but if he doesn't start driving the ball w the way Romero has struggled, we're screwed.

 

[scane]

Two more stranded walks

Particularly with Burke also in a bit of a slump

 

[rok]

This is a waste of time

Ya, when you are relying on true freshmen and Kayfus as your only reliable returning starter, it could get ugly.

 

[BP Joe]

If we don't get a couple of runs the next two innings, we'll waste a great start by Jake - smh.

 

[scane]

That was the first hit since Kayfus led off the game with a single

 

[scane]

Kayfus scores on a shallow pop up missed by FAU. 2-1

 

[BP Joe]

Huh? Out in front of the plate, or what?

 

[scane]

Burke says “what slump” and plates a pair with a two out triple. 4-1

 

[BP Joe]

Burke!! Finally, someone drives in some runs.

 

[scane]

Huh? Out in front of the plate, or what?

Just beyond the infield dirt.

 

[BP Joe]

Let Jake go the distance if he keeps recording outs?

 

[BP Joe]

Just beyond the infield dirt.

Wow - quite a break.

About time someone came thru with a clutch hit to bring some runners in

 

[BP Joe]

Let Jake go the distance if he keeps recording outs?

I guess not. He only threw 65 pitches. Suppose that means he may get the start on Sunday.

Nope. Went to Ziehl. Shrug.

I’d be surprised, but I can’t come up with a better explanation for not going another inning. He’d almost certainly be on a pitch count.

 

[BP Joe]

At least he did his job.

That's fine. Three days rest used to be the norm back in the day. A young guy who didn't have many stressful pitches can certainly do it.
