Not totally sure but in Friday's game he collided with the wall was walking gingerly the rest of the game. He was out Saturday and Sunday's games. Peirce said he had some pain in his lower back. Have no idea if it's anything that will keep him out any longer.
Faltine rolled his wrist on a diving grounder, but continued to play on Sunday. Anybody know if he is okay?
If it was 85 degrees I'd be little concerned. Cold weather is not a hitters friend. Example: Saturday, Ivan Melendez hit a ball that had a 112 mph exit velocity that turned into a routine fly out. (The avg MLB HR has a exit velocity in the 90's)
PS: Please don't KCHORN our baseball thread.
I think that Alabama has more cause for concern.
If others didn't notice last season we had our moments with hitting and we made it to the World Series and was a game away from the ship. This lineup will not stay like this all year. Pitching will carry us through some games like we have seen already against Bama.
Bats cold. Need hats for bats.If it was 85 degrees I'd be little concerned. Cold weather is not a hitters friend. Example: Saturday, Ivan Melendez hit a ball that had a 112 mph exit velocity that turned into a routine fly out. (The avg MLB HR has a exit velocity in the 90's)

We play Tennessee tonight. Watch for the Tennessee reliever Ben Joyce. His fastball has been clocked consistently at 101-103 mph which is ridiculous. That's freakishly fast. Don't know about his control though. If one of our guys can connect on one of those cleanly, the ball may sail all the way across I-35 to Royal Memorial stadium.
The starting pitcher from Tennessee gave us fits with 10Ks highest in his freshman career. Yes he is a freshman with his fastball ranging up in the high 90s. Cutter was in the high 80s. But great win last night let's take care or lsu tonight.

I was at the game last night. If y'all didn't already know it, all of the tournament games are on ATTSW (674 on DirecTV).

Crowd looks great for both teams. Lots of Burnt orange and silly purple.
Let’s take them behind the woodshed.

I was there on Friday night, and we were just coming into MMP right after LSU beat OU. In typical L$U fashion, they were their usual obnoxious, arrogant selves. So good to beat the hell out of them tonight. Great crowd there. Eat some humble pie Tiger fans! 😆
Only 13 runs in 11 games given up. This team is for real this season.
