Alabama #3

Post by geeznotagain »

Important game. I’m watching my first game in person this year. Hope I bring us luck. Tickets were as low as $3 on stub hub. I splurged for 2 $4 tickets.

So if it is more than 5 inches off the ground it is a strike. Hope he gives Futrell that.

Nothing to show in first - but made their pitcher throw 20+.

Interesting 1-2-3 1st for Futrell...2 rockets caught by Schreck and a beauty of a strike 3 change up.

Crap. Was foul. They should have challenged that. Glad they didn't.

I couldn’t tell from my angle. Fans were certainly upset.

Lead off runner = run in the third. I know I am harping on it a lot lately but it really matters.

Diaz has had two very good at bats so far.

Diaz' ball was fair. It hit the ground between home and 3rd base, so at that point it's where it crosses the bag. If inside or over the base, then it's fair; the LF line beyond 3rd base is irrelevant. 3rd base umpire was perfectly positioned to make that correct call.

Swings like that it is no wonder Maldonado is 0-9 this weekend. What is up with him now?

Who are these VU batters? Pitiful 5th.

Well, this inning (6th) we couldn't have hit it much harder, just good defensive bama play.
