Florida in Hoover thread

[roanoke]

Bases loaded.

Sproat at 94 pitches.

[commadore]

Well that stinks. Leave the bases loaded. Still 2-2.

[dore74]

He look d overmatched on that k.

[geeznotagain]

florida brewing something. 2 on, Moore out, Cunningham in. Hold your breath.

Cunny did good! Makeshift pitching has been very good thru 14 innings this week. Also, I noted Owen dancing out of the dugout to greet Cunny after that huge K...maybe he isn't hurt. Fingers crossed

I guess you can dance with 1 arm. So no I don’t find that all that encouraging,

[roanoke]

8 LOB through 6.

Not great - but good to have that many base runners against a good pitcher.

[roanoke]

Owen came out a little iffy - but got things together nicely. If he is healthy, he clearly needed the work and benefited from it.

Horn came in and did ok in a high pressure situation. Coach pulled him at a wise time. And Cunningham has faced 4 and k’ed 4. Through 6, we have accomplished good things.

Would like to see EBJ get on and Schreck swing for a single and bring him around…

[roanoke]

This is a big pitch coming to Noland 2-0.

Sit on a heater

[dore74]

Nolan’s did good.

[commadore]

Bulger needs a hit!

[roanoke]

Well, he let a fastball down the middle go by - but doubled opposite field on the next pitch.

Runners at 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs.

Bats are awake. But need to execute with RISP.

SWING THE BAT

I get that, but if he's hurt I suspect Corbs would have him shut down from doing anything, plus there was no ice or such on his shoulder. That was my frame of reference.

[commadore]

Swing the bat, Bulger!

[geeznotagain]

Can’t seem to get that big hit. LOB numbers rising.

[commadore]

Takes three pitches for strike three. Pitiful.

[dore74]

Seem to tense up a bit in those instances. Onward we go

[UltimateVUFan]

Too many runners LOB tonight. 9 hits and only 2 runs. Will be a miracle win.

[commadore]

Florida guy thought that was a strike.

[roanoke]

I’m not wild about having Bulger and LaNeve batting back to back. Both big swingers - often up when we need contact.

Bulger needed to look for contact there - really didn’t come close: let pitches down the middle go by and swung wildly at bad ones.

Ump suddenly squeezing Cunningham.

[geeznotagain]

Forward ever be our watchword, conquer and prevail.
