No doubt. Wilcox played right up the road from me, kid is really good hopefully next season he’ll see some mound time.
The game at Kentucky this Sunday has been rescheduled to a 10:00 am start. I guess I'll be listening to the game at the golf course.
We have to get Mason Meadows back. Biggar had 3 passed balls in one inning today that allowed 3 unearned runs. He just simply couldn't handle how hard Wilcox was throwing. We flat out beat ourselves today. The kid that pitched for UK will be a top 10-15 pick in the draft though.
We will only be as good as our pitching and defense carries us. Our lineup is NOT imposing. We have a few guys that are having great years offensively (Maxwell, Tally) but we aren't gonna win many slugfests. We are VERY banged up right now, and our lack of depth n key spots showed today. Gotta get healthy n just keep playing. Hancock and Locey give us a chance to win 2 of every 3 game series. But everybody has off days, and we just need someone to pick up the slack.
Yea he has not only rd 1 stuff; but #1 pick stuff. He can be as dominant as anyone in college next year. Just has to find himself over this season and take a few lumps. Biggar sure didn't help him out today.
In baseball, there's nothing more painful to watch than a backup catcher who's not up to the task. Been there as a coach, and it's a helpless feeling.
Me too. As helpless as you can feel as a coach because it really doesn't matter how well your pitcher performs because passed balls, not being able to throw out a runner etc; just destroys any hope of winning a game.
Georgia beats KY in game 3. Took 10:
Called strike three.
Final: Dawgs 10-8
now 23-5 (7-2 SEC).
Really good start to SEC play so far
3 quality SEC series taken. Kentucky was especially good with their new ball park they just built. Which is amazing facility. Last November when I was in Lexington with my dad we had a chance to check it out. Top notch facility basically a minor league stadium.
@MacDawg15 I think its too early to write off Biggar yet. Yeah he has struggled a little bit behind the plate, but lets not forget he was crucial for us in the LSU series.. Had a crucial pitch hit RBI in the 8th to give us the lead and in game three came up clutch again with a HR that extended our lead 8-5. So he has done some good things for us even though he's been a bit shaky, I think with time hell get more comfortable behind the plate too. Obviously we want meadows back but I think well be fine till he returns.
Oh he definitely came up big in the LSU series. I'm not saying he has no purpose on the team or anything like that. I just meant he struggled handling Wilcox's stuff in that particular game. I was a catcher for 4 yrs in hs, 1 year of college ball and 2 years professionally before an injury ended my playing days. But sometimes catching certain pitchers is just flat out tougher than it is for other pitchers. It can become a mental thing (like Ankiel or Knoblauch) who's careers at those positions in which they originated virtually ended. Although Ankiel came back as an outfielder.
Just meant for that game I just believe after the 1st passed ball, he really started thinking about it. And that's when whatever your thinking of happens again on the diamond. I believe he'll be ok. I'd just do ANYTHING possible to not let him think there's a problem though. Overthinking is poison on the baseball field.
Another ranked game today at Clemson, lets get this win.
Probably not going to win tonight in all honesty. It'd be nice to against a good team but with a huge conference series looming on the weekend and the injuries on the pitching staff, plus another game vs KSU tomorrow, they're likely going to throw some arms that would otherwise not pitch and save the best available for Vanderbilt.
Tim Elliott pitching 7.1 innings changed a lot of that narrative as long as they are able to hang on. I wonder how it's going to go tomorrow though, KSU might not be great, but some of the lower tier pen guys on the team just aren't good right now.
Georgia gets the win 5-3 tonight.
Legitimately curious on how tomorrow goes with the pitching situation. Personally, I'd rather it not be played. Don't need the extra win if (hopefully when) it happens and it hurts the RPI win or loss to play KSU.
