If we lose this game, I’m committing seppuku with a lemon
I like that we won, but we all knew it was stupid to bring Davis back out for the 9th on Friday when we had a huge lead. That was the time to let Nolan or Holcombe start working on the closer mentality. But no, we had to waste him, which made today's victory more difficult.
Even when we win, we're frequently shooting ourselves in the foot.

Usually to be safe you gotta go 14-16 in SEC play but with our rancid OOC schedule (and record) we might need 15-15.
Made my nuts tingle too much in that Top 7, but they got it done.
Out shatty pitching has given up 2 runs through 16 innings this weekend. Be nice to see the bats wake the 17 up and get us this much needed sweep.

We really could use a game where everyone gets a hit or two. We are really struggling at the plate. Offense is gonna have to win us some games. Especially game 3s.
Pulliam is a freshman from Starkvill, played basebal, football and soccer at Starkville High. Averaged 48 yards punting and could be our punter this year
I think it’s worse than that. I think 14-16 has us definitely out. 15-15 puts us on the razor’s edge that could go either way. 16-14 and we should be safe.
I thought our relievers gave up a hit and got a crucial final out with no runs scored. Two of the three runners were Lo's.
And if he’d been available, we either go right to Davis in the 7th of game one today, or he’s there instead of Cam. Either way, probably less drama.
Downs is hitting .284. If the argument is “too many singles” the entire lineup could be benched.
We can get Pulliam some ABs too. I don’t see them as mutually exclusive.
The argument is that .284 doesn’t overcome all the negatives. There is no potential for extra base hits. He strikes out almost 40% of the time, which gives you nothing productive like moving base runners in those at bats. And as you saw in Game 2 today, it cost us big time getting picked off of 2nd base. And if I’m not mistaken, he’s in Year 4. So this is probably just who he is and the chance he’s going to develop much beyond this is low. It was clearly time to move on and try something different.
