Based on what our guys just did, they must have Sandy Kofax on the mound tonight. We looked horrible.

Florida pitcher has an ERA over 5.

Why did the umps go so long before stopping play? It was pouring before Futrell's first pitch, yet they made him throw 5 pitches before stopping the game. Maddening decision making process.

Doesn’t make sense. And then ump was surprised that someone from our bench complained.

Radar doesn't even show rain in the area. Has it stopped but they haven't started back?

Now it looks like it is raining everywhere. Weather channel says rain to end around 9:00. :(

Another weird strike zone. Nothing low.

But about six inches outside seems in play.

Announcers suggested Vandy dugout already warned.

Looks like a perfect game for the Florida pitcher. Good grief our hitters suck.
Does Baxter not tell them that if a slider starts out on the outer half it will end in the batters box. Good grief we swing at every frigging one of them.

1-2-3. 1-2-3. 1-2-3.

Not a good start. To be fair, Florida pitchers are pounding the strike zone. And he has a good slider.

It would be an understatement to say we are having a hard time identifying the slider.

Espy catching a nice game so far. I thought he might get the nod tonight.

Announcer is full of schite. That ball was LOW. Period. Ump sucks.

He didn't get run because the ump knew he was wrong.

Ump just called 2 low ones on Bradfield. First 2 low strikes of the night.

I really think the sec umps are screwing us. It seems intentional.

Agreed. They are silent as Futrell gets nothing low.

Strike 3 to EBjr looked like a good pitch from my Lazy-Boy. Replay from side showed it just at knee level. Lot of frustration, lucky he didn't get tossed

Again, to me, those were the first two low strikes called of the game.

Not saying it couldn’t be a strike. But it hasn’t been tonight…
