I know Tacco is trying but it seems like a guy who just wants the year to end

He's not the only one. I may try to forget this season ever happened once it's over

I don't know what to say ....

[JHicks3636]

Catron, 0-1 tonight...strikes out swinging, 1 away

If you would have told me after the Houston tournament that we wouldn't even make it to Hoover i would have laughed at you

[JHicks3636]

Koch, 1-1 with a double...another double to left center, on 2nd with 2 outs

Pitching and defense! Age old saying that holds true...year after year! after year! after year! after year! after year! Can we all just live with a 2-1 win after this season ?

[JHicks3636]

Spanberger, struck out his first time...out to SS on the first pitch

8-2 Alabama

[JHicks3636]

The good thing is no one in Alabama cares about baseball so I won't get any grief. They won't even know a game was played

Koch, 1-1 with a double...another double to left center, on 2nd with 2 outs

Defensively aside. Is he our man behind the plate ...going forward this year?

[JHicks3636]

Henry, Vincent and Finnerty up for the elephants

Pitching and defense! Age old saying that holds true...year after year! after year! after year! after year! after year! Can we all just live with a 2-1 win after this season ?

We shouldn't have to "live with 2-1". Does LSU, Florida, Virginia, ect "live with 2-1". There is a happy medium and we need to find it. This was the year we could have been great but our top returning pitching hasn't lived up to what most expected. It happens.

[JHicks3636]

Vincent, 0-2 tonight...flies out to center, 2 outs

[JHicks3636]

Finnerty, 0-2 tonight...singles up the box, man on 1st, 2 outs

If you would have told me after the Houston tournament that we wouldn't even make it to Hoover i would have laughed at you

Me too. It really seems like everyone is ready for this season to be over.

[Maddhog]

Bama, coming into this game, had the weakest offense in the league.  I was sure that Taco would win his game. 

[Knot2brite]

Pitching and defense! Age old saying that holds true...year after year! after year! after year! after year! after year! Can we all just live with a 2-1 win after this season ?

No....2-1 every game leave no wiggle room for a pitcher ...we can have the offense and the pitching....many other teams do...if a team is all pitching then what happens when a team that has both that really good starts hitting the pitching only teams pitchers...there has to be a happy medium...if both are very efficient ...then you win it all most years...I do not want to see the old get'em on and bunt'em over and hope and pray you get a damn seeing eye single to score a run in the sixth and hope you hang on

[JHicks3636]

Scroggins, 1-1 with an rbi tonight...grounds out to SS, 1 out

[JHicks3636]

Holcombe, Vance and Salem (top of the order) bat again for Bama

[pigture perfect]

Ugh. I hate losing in blow out fashion. Sooo! I'm wearing my rally cap and lucky mesh wife-beater from the 80's (hasn't been washed since 1991).

[JHicks3636]

Holcombe who is 1-2 plus a walk...grounds out to SS, 1 out

[JHicks3636]

By the way Campbell has been pitching since Tacco was knocked out

[JHicks3636]

Vance who is 2-2 with a walk....Walks again, 1 on, 1 out

[Knot2brite]

By the way Campbell has been pitching since Tacco was knocked out

He is going to be a cornerstone next year

[JHicks3636]

Salem who is 1-1 with a walk and a sac bunt...flies out to left, runner at 1st, 2 outs

[stan the man]

I'll bet there will be a house cleaning in the off season. No way Van Horn will put up with this kind of a season next year

[Knot2brite]

I'll bet there will be a house cleaning in the off season. No way Van Horn will put up with this kind of a season next year

I can be that there will be several new pitchers

[JHicks3636]

Vance got to 2nd somehow, then got picked off to end the inning


8-2 bama
