Need a pitching change. Lucky Machado is a dumbass and swung and had pop out on 3-0 count

I don't get it. If Reyes hits one out of the stadium, we still have the lead, but if you walk him, you bring the tying run to the plate. Touki's gotta learn to throw strikes. There's never a legit reason to unintentionally walk a batter, but that's one of the least excusable spots to do it.

I don't understand using Touki there to begin with.

Damn I think I'd leave Newcomb in there, I don't like using Sobotka in this situation

Why pull Newk Snit??




FOR SOBOTKA??!!!!! He is trying to throw this game. Should have used Swarzak for 8th and Webb for 9th IMO

Snit's bullpen management still leaves much to be desired.

I don't understand why none of our pitchers seem to be willing to try to get strikeouts in the strike zone. Get to 0-2, but now it's 3-2 because you're scared to throw a strike.

See, look at that, you threw a strike and he swung and missed. Your stuff is good, you can get outs while throwing strikes. Pound it into your dumbass head so we never see a 3-2 count with the bases loaded from you again.

Sobotka has been much better since he was called back up, but I still really wish he'd trust his stuff.

Those of us that aren't Gamecocks fans gladly eat it when the time comes.

I don't think I needed to eat it there though. I said he could get a strikeout in the strike zone, and then he did.
