Top 4th

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

I just got tuned in. So did MSt get all 4 of their hits in the first...as in maybe it took Schmidt an inning to get rolling, or did they scatter them over 4 innings?
TIA

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Schmidt looked pretty good in the 4th. I hope he can keep them down. He's just over 50 pitches so I think we'll get 7 out of him.

And....here....we....go.

Making this guy look like Bob Gibson in his prime.

I didn't catch the top of the 1st.

You thinkin new sig?

I ain't a quitter.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Well that was interesting.
Great play by Williams and good hustle by Schmidt. Williams just continues to produce.

 

[lawcalcock]

Why do we have so many left handed batters in the lineup vs a very good left handed pitcher? Where is Hopkins? Do we have anyone who hits over 200 to put in the lineup

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Lol, does the wind not blow in Mich? Rule of thumb for outfielders...always keep the ball in front of you.
That was funny tho

Stokes blasts one!

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

WOOOOOOOOOOO Stokes
2 run blast to take the lead

The error in right field cost MST a run

 

[FORKCOCK]

Our 1st hit left the yard.

 

[lawcalcock]

Now that's what i am talking about...Can we build on this lead? Holding a 1 run lead is a tremendous challenge for this squad unless Schmidt goes 9

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Our 1st hit left the yard.

2 runs on 1 hit

This team hits pretty good. Last 2 guys that lead off hit singles back up the middle. Not easy to do on Schmidt.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

And that's why I don't like extreme shifts in the outfield.
But Destino played it well on a night like tonight with the wind whipping. Glad he didn't attempt to lay out for that one. It would've been uglier than their RF's error.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Woooooo...nasty breaking ball by Schmidt for out #2 in the 6th.
That was a thang of beauty!

 

[FORKCOCK]

State has some big boys on their club.

Hopkins out with injury.....started but Danny Blair subbed.

 

[lawcalcock]

Hopkins out with injury.....started but Danny Blair subbed.

thank you

 

[Golden Cock]

My signal keeps buffering tha last ten minutes.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

My signal keeps buffering tha last ten minutes.

Mine did it too, but only once
Working fine now

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Hopkins out with injury.....started but Danny Blair subbed.

Thanks. What happened to Hopkins?

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Schmidt is on FIRE right now.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Destino remains an enigma at the plate. Makes you wonder if he'll ever get back to his old form.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

WOOOOHOOO...Jonah Bride smashes a triple!
Bring him on home Tolbert!!!

 

[FORKCOCK]

Nice base running!

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Wow, Bride scores on a 3rd strike passed ball throw down to 1st.
Gutsy call by Sammy and good base running by Bride.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

On the down side, Tolbert swung at a 1st pitch in the dirt, watched a strike on the outside corner after a talk with Holbrook then swung at another ball in the dirt.
I'd love to know what Holbrook said...though it didn't help!

"Send 'em home Sammy" strikes again

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Dang, another lead off hit. Schmidt is in a groove once he gets past the 1st batter every inning, but that's living on the edge. That's 3 innings an row the lead off got on with a single.

 

[85alum#]

Score? Inning? Pitcher?

 

[gcock5]

90+ pitches, heart of the order. Don't understand why we have to do this every *(&^ game.

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Hope that wasn't intentional.
OK, not really

Would be a very stupid call tho...but we're used to that!

 

[FORKCOCK]

I would have gone to the pen to start the 8th. Save the arms for league play.

WE SO DEEP

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

Score? Inning? Pitcher?

3-1 us top of 8 runners on 2nd and 3rd after a sac bunt
Schmidt just exiting probably Bowers to the hill

 

[Bigger_Stronger_Faster]

It is Colie Bowers
