Vandy game 3 thread
- Thread starter Viennacock
- Start date
The switch of Brewer and Wimmer pays off. Tie game Wimmer still in scoring position with one out
I am so over these shifts. Stealing third is unacceptable
LeCroy deserves another game ball…..from Vandy. What’s that like five errors in two days? Why in the heck with the bases loaded and two outs would you be playing up close where a hot grounder can get by you. Especially on turf. It’s been a minute since I’ve played baseball, but I thought you played normal depth when you need one out.
I don’t know his batting average but it better be damn high to keep a third baseman that makes error after error after error
I wasn't watching but you play normal depth or even deep with two outs unless you think a bunt may be coming. Very doubtful they are bunting in that situation but who knows.
I know errors crushed us today.
But our hitting was nothing to brag about either. Our best games seem to come when we are multi-dimensional from start to finish. Worst are when we try to become that way around the 7th inning. For whatever reason, we sometimes lose sight of being a well rounded offense until we feel l like we have to be. I just dont get it.

We are unbeatable imo when we can show power but still capable of using a more finesse two strike swing. We missed that today

I'll take another SEC half season, 10 wins in remaining conference games like we our team just did.
This was my takeaway as well. We played terribly and still had the game in arm's length. Clean things up and we win the series. At this point, the ugly play hasn't happened nearly as much as it did this weekend so I'll chalk it up to a rough weekend. Come out next weekend and win the series and we still are in fantastic shape.
I'd chalk some of it to playing on turf....maybe a good bit. Thirty-six games and I think 4 have been on turf and it appears our error rate is higher on turf.
Couldn't watch today.
Said the same yesterday, but throwing errors were the problem not the turf. Until this series he's been solid. Let's see if turf was the issue this weekend.
If errors continue, we could move LeCroy to DH, Hornung to RF and Petry to 3B.
Coaches must have read yesterday's game thread. lol
I see the move of Brewer to the lead off spot was a good one for Wimmer.

Exactly, half way through the conference and I still think we’re growing and figuring some things out and I have faith we will this year! Tough road though, with top 10 type schedule left!
With Mcgillis coming back you could take a look at Braswell at 3rd.
Was just typing the same thing. But where do you put LeCroy's bat? If you move him to DH where does Hornung's bat go?
With a man on third, the third baseman needs to play even with the bag, or thereabouts
Well, so far we’re 2-3 in the brutal stretch. Wish we had that 3rd LSU game.
Wins and losses is the bottom line, but 44-32 run differential says a lot in those two series!
With the number of hits Wimmer had today, I suspect his days in the one spot are over. Lol
It sucks losing that series but thank goodness we don't have to hear that goofy whistler anymore. He's like sweat when it gets in your eyes or jock itch. Very irritating.
Just watched the replay. That was a very costly error in a very close game.
He got caught on the in between hop which could have been avoided by playing back a few steps or charging the ball for the big hop. LeCroy is listed as a catcher, so I'm not sure of his 3B experience.
