I’m assuming Cody Howard is in line to start Tuesday but I would use him out the pen today if the situation calls for it.

Couldn’t watch the game yesterday. Gamecast made it look like we ran our fastest kid out of scoring position with the top of the order due up in the 8th? And then JT promptly gets a hit. Classic Pierce, if so

It was a ball that got away from the catcher and a freshman pinch runner made a poor choice to try to test it. Was also probably safe.

Interesting defensive strategy today.

And I still don’t understand why O’Dowd is batting fourth.

I remember last year in the 3rd game of the season Pierce rolled out a wtf lineup with Duplantier, Constantine and O’Hara.

I guess now is the time to experiment.

He was safe. The umps butchered the call. Then on the replay it was very clear he was safe if you combined two different angles. But that was a little too much brain processing power for those neanderthals to figure out. So we lost in extra innings instead.

Bats usually take a little bit to heat up. The fact we haven’t really gotten any meaningful contribution from Porter Brown yet lowers my overall concern because we know he will figure it out.

Our best overall hitters (Thomas, Powell, Brown) are all lefties so it will be interesting to see the lineup construction once we start facing lefty starters.

I'd add Gasprino and Schuessler to the list.

We’re talking about the fact that there isn’t a RF on the lineup card. 

Edited February 18 by MuellerHorn

[Levi 2586]

Probably would have just kicked O’Dowd completely out and had Max DH with Jayden/Dee at second or just pick second and DH between Jayden/Dee.

Yes I saw. But also putting O’Dowd at 1b.  I won’t believe that until he takes the field there.

He’s repped there some in practice. Especially after Storm stepped away. Figured Sanders was ahead of him in the 1B pecking order but I guess we will see what happens.

[Had Enough 2081]

Some y’all a little high strung for so early in the season. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Three games in last year most of you couldn’t even spell Peyton Powell.

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Lots of empty seats today, but feels pretty good in the sun. 

[Rholl 218]

ummm. can we move on from Tennis to the baseball game?????

Yeah he does this every year. Throws a bunch of freshman and new faces out there and pretty much says “let’s see what ya got”

How’d you know?

[Horny Bull 2759]

1-2-3 inning for Witt.

[AbeFroman 2157]

We'll take that half inning

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

A loud out is still an out. Good clean inning 

[Fletch 5800]

3 up 3 down. Witt is gonna have a 2.10 era. Omaha here we come

I would really prefer to see Wittt get comfortable out of a wind-up.  But hey if it's working.

Pitch plunks Powell and we get an early base runner.

An O'Dowt could be a deep fly ball dropped by the OF, I suppose.

Quite the schnozz on this Auburn tennis chick.

Porter miles behind a 90mph fastball. Opening weekend gonna opening weekend

USD has done a good job of using the high fastball against us.

I have ESPN+ but it isnt letting me watch the game because it is ESPN 3 and it says I am not authorized to view that content. So I am stuck watching tennis until someone wins. 

[Rholl 218]

Stuck watching tennis also…. found a spot for Galindo 

[troph 24789]

Outfield camera in early season form too. Giving me vertigo.
