Bullpen continues to be Bolt’s Achilles heel, and he’s had plenty of opportunities to fix it. Not sure where you go from here, because he’s clearly shown he isn’t capable of fixing the issue.
 
He put 3 on; single, single, BB.



Rob fvcking Childress.

And people bashed Christy non-stop.
I thought Perry just gave up the two singles but I stopped paying attention for a minute after the second single

The Childress stuff is getting a little concerning. Pitching staff seems to have taken two steps back

No biggie. Perry gave up 1B, 1B, F2 (bunt popped up foul), BB then Childress pulled him.
 
Did Perry chirp at the other team all the way to the dugout after getting pulled? Or does he just do that to scrub schools like New Mexico State?

Exactly. He did it to Grand Canyon, NM State & Northwestern too.

Once Childress left the dugout Perry was saying NO NO NO. Dude, you just loaded the fucking bases in the 9th and you're a 6th year senior. :reggiemillergif:

What's your thoughts on all the defensive shifts? That 2nd single he gave up just got past our 3rd baseman, who was playing between 3rd and SS, and could have been a double play or at least an out if there was no shift. That was their 3 hitter batting .400. I'd think he doesn't get to batting .400 by pulling it 75-80% of the time. IMO we're shifting too much and should only be doing it if the guys stats show he's obviously a pull hitter (>75% of the time or something like that).

The shift has killed us in 2024, mostly with RH bats though. It was their lead-off guy Sailors (LH) that punched one in the 9th & he went oppo against us in the first game too. Heck, the shift killed us against Buttgers too.

Marcuzzo was nails for us with scouting reports. I haven't been impressed with Sirianni in this aspect, at all. Barf.

The shift giveth and the shift taketh.
 
Last night really sucked. But this isn’t the only baseball team who has gone through a mid-season slump.

Response is key. I’m more worried about playing our best baseball at the right times now than I am hosting a regional.

I think the boys may need Kevin Costner to give them a rain out one of these days.
 
I'm usually in this camp, but not this season. I'd venture to guess, to date, for every shift that benefited us, 4 or 5 haven't. It's been really bad.

To be totally honest with you, as soon as I saw that cue shot roll through the infield at around 13 MPH exit velo I knew that we were fucked. Great pitch on Perry’s part and it should have at least netted us an out if not two.
