A Sea Of Red

Following their first home loss of the year, the Flames face off with their second SEC team of the season

This will be a great opportunity to build our case for a regional. Hopefully Liberty can take 2 out 3 from the bulldogs. I am from South Carolina and they are not as good as the gamecocks.

just like many of the teams we play - we will be more talented than them a lot of places throughout the line up, but anytime you face SEC teams you are going to face big time arms Fri, Sat, and Sun, along with pretty quality pens that can shut down a line up any given night. The boys are going to need to continue to bring the sticks and put up runs!!

Going to be a challenge but we need to take 2 out of 3.

2-0 UGA in 4th

3-0 in 4th

Flames leave runners on 2nd & 3rd in 7th

5-0 now

getting ugly............

can't get out of this inning..Bankemper was pitching good in relief. 3-0 when he was pulled....

Finally out of the 7th. gave up 7 runs with 2 outs.

Only good thing about this game is that is over.

Pitch calling was terrible. Only threw about 60 sliders.

We've got to change up the starting rotation. Herndon should be the Sunday starter and either Roy or Lambert should be the Friday night starter. He has been shaky all year, way too many BB's and is giving up a lot of hits as well. Just a dissappointing effort from the guys. When you only get 4 hits your not going to win anyway but i believe the other 2 guys are throwing better than Herndon and have more experience.

When the pitch calling is 75% breaking balls (that's not an exaggeration), it's hard to throw strikes. Use the fastball to get in control and then work in the breaking ball. But nope. Slider. Slider. Slider.

1-0 UGa still in first

Yea, he hasn't throw well lately, but he is your best option on Friday for optimal success. Brooks has thrown well and is a bulldog, but here is the reality with him, he is 5-10, 83-85, and average off speed. B/c of his bulldog mentality he will keep you in most games, but not what you need on Friday night when you need to shut down a conference team! He gives you exactly what he does on Saturday/Sunday, a pretty quality game most of the time. Lambert is very similar, good - but not great stuff, and can struggle multiple times through the order. Herndon hasn't thrown real well true, but he is a solid big body with electric stuff that can be a true shut down guy on some Friday nights. The only issue is that he has not pitched much, even in high school and is still learning. So we are going to get some of these games sometimes, especially early in the year. If he figures it out though, he is no doubt your Friday night guy.....not time to hit the panic button.

Track...wall... Cordell ties it at 1!!!

down 3-1 in 9th, we got 2 runners on, no outs

It is over, 3-1 Bulldogs.

You hate to waste a quality start like the 7.1 innings that Brooks Roy threw today. We need to find a way to start scoring some runs. That's something we had taken for granted until the past couple of days.

I'm not sure the offense is as good as everyone was expecting and def. not as good as the past couple years. We are getting nothing from SS and 3b and DH and not a ton from LF. Close struggled most of the year but has come on. I still think the rotation should be Roy, Lambert, then Herndon. Gotta get the bats going or were going to get swept.

Stupid batting order.

Terrible pitch calling.

Bad handling of the bullpen.

Horrible hit and run call.

Captain Bunter not bunting when it made sense to bunt.

Yep. Our coach is fantastic.

I don't know what he did to you but you're the one coming across as an jerk. We get it you don't like Toman.

For the record, I'm not really a fan of Quinn either.
