[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 785155, member: 322"] After thinking about it more, pretty amazing game where we demonstrated [I]we can beat the best and lose to average teams[/I]. I think Malloy in the post game gave away a secret. (tic) We prepare for pitchers and know their tendencies. How professional. Wonder whether that is more Ramsey or DBo or a 50/50 combination? That would explain to some minor extent why we had trouble with the Ga State pitcher. We still should have adapted after first time through, but still. And here were the stats for L'Ville starting pitcher Elliott before yesterday, may have been the[B] worst abuse he has taken in 5 years[/B]. We got 7ER in 3.0 IP. 8 hits, 1BB and 2 HBP. That's a 3.67 WHIP against his lifetime average of 1.14: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1615133012161.png"]10034[/ATTACH] And here is who should be starting today, Luke Smith - 5th year so we may have some info on his tendencies (tic).
