Man on 2B / 2 outs Cags moves to DH and Purnell in to pitch F/B - Alderman flies out to left 2/1/0/1 Gators 3-2
If an ump is calling it tight, fine, but stay consistent for the whole game no matter who is pitching. Don't wait until both starters are gone and then suddenly expand it.
I hope we have arms in the bullpen getting warm. I have thought all season Purnell can be very effective against a rightie in a situation and he did his job. Now get somebody else ready.
Yes, unless the TV camera has a bad angle this ump has one of the smallest strike zones I’ve ever seen. It appears he’s missed more than just a few strikes for both pitchers. How fortunate is Jac to give up 2 runs giving up 8 walks with 2 errors in 3 and two thirds? We could be behind about 7-3 right now.
Cags was playing with fire all game-- 8 walks in 3.2 innings is almost unimaginable for a quality pitcher. DPs and Evans outstanding catch kept Ole Miss off the Board and the double over Langford's head probably would have ended the inning with a healthy Wyatt making the catch. But enough.
Zone ridiculous today. Ole Miss pitcher will end the inning with 86 pitches and he’s very lucky. If we are a little more patient we’d have more walks. Riopelle’s strikeout stands out as was just a bad miss by Blue based on what his zone has been all day.
Philip Abner warming up. Dude still scares me but..he seems to be improving. Coach must like what he is seeing from him
