Pitt Series

[LibertyTurns]

Well see the Jackets on one of the upper cable channels and turn on the game. 8 straight balls, closest one was about a foot outside the strike zone. Ouch.

 

[OldJacketFan]

My first true look at Gibson and one thing immediately jumps out at me, his pitching motion and delivery is a joke. No wonder he can't throw strikes! And Tech's pitching coach is allowing him to work with that delivery????? You have to be effing kidding me!

 

[OldJacketFan]

10 pitches, 1 strike

 

[OldJacketFan]

Just SMFH, after 2 balls in the dirt, HBP

 

[OldJacketFan]

Somehow he's out of the inning with no damage (DP helped) but 20 pitches thrown. Short day for Gibson if he keeps that up.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

19 pitches, 8 strikes. 1 hit batter, most balls not even close.

Jesus, we were lucky.

 

[OldJacketFan]

Contrast Gibson's motion/delivery with the Pitt pitcher, night and day!

 

[OldJacketFan]

And somebody thinks Kel is ready to go pro???? Might want to learn to lay off 2 mediocre sliders.

 

[OldJacketFan]

Nice bounce back inning by Gibson, 7 pitches. Found out he has an above average curve, he should use it!

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Gibson second inning 12 pitches, 8 strikes. No frickin drama. Much better.

We need to make the Pitt pitcher throw as many pitches as possible. Get to the bullpen early to help for tomorrow.

Nice listening to Wed Durham on ACC Network TV.

Throwing error by Craport. The guy is a real liability at 3rd. Kel did a good job of saving Craport last night. McCann didn't on lead off hitter.

When you don't pitch well, you need a really good defense to bail you out. We had that last year. Not this year.

Gibson picked off the runner to even things up. Then another double play after a hit. I guess the D is coming out to play.

 

[OldJacketFan]

Two DPs turned nicely plus a pick off prevent any damage.

 

[OldJacketFan]

SF puts the Jackets up 1-0

 

[OldJacketFan]

Bart singles, brings in the 2nd run. 2-0 Jackets

 

[OldJacketFan]

Going top 4th, Jackets 2-0

 

[OldJacketFan]

Double by Pitt, Sac Bunt thrown away but fortunately batter thrown at at 3rd after a run scored. 2-1 Jackets. Next batter chops one of Gibson glove and McCann can't come up with a low throw, runner to 2nd, followed by a passed ball moving the runner to 3rd. SMFH

 

[LibertyTurns]

Geez this 5th inning is ridiculous. Bad D at 3rd for a "double", wild throw to 1st on sac bunt to let them score, picked off guy going to 3rd, then another error to put a guy on 2nd then wild pitch then scores another on a wild pitch to tie it up.

 

[OldJacketFan]

Another wild pitch scored runner from 3rd. Tied 2-2 due to lousy D by the Jackets. Inning over, Tech needs to get the runs back they just gave away! Bottom 5

 

[FredJacket]

For some reason I can't stop noticing the graphic with the pitcher/batter names. When we're batting it says "Hammer [insert Tech batter's name]" Ex Hammer Bart

 

[OldJacketFan]

Tech goes back up 3-2. Combs in to pitch. Gibson did a good job, didn't get much help defensively.
