I'll be damned, he gave us that pitch, credit where credit is due.

I know the Vandy catcher isn't up there questioning the strike zone
This Highfill kid is pretty damn good. Wonder who his pops is?

Nice piece of pitching, Highfill.
As much as I don't want to give him a quick inning, the first pitch of every at bat so far has been the best one to hit. Let's see if Jose goes after it.

Yes, yes he did.

Swing early if he is gonna pump fastballs
One foot outside and high
Man Tatum is ice cold. Feel bad he's stuck in his head and can't pull the trigger at the plate lately. And that's was bs strike 3 on Torres
We gotta mash those hanging curveballs
Pretty much what I expected out of the middle of our order first time up. Take it in, watch it on the iPad, get after him next time.
We're not really getting the bat on the ball at all. Not good so far. Hopefully we'll get some better looks the 2nd go through the lineup.
B2
Tatum - Strikes out checking his swing on a 1-2 strike.
Torres - Strikes out looking on a 1-2 slider that catches the edge of the plate.
Tresh - Strikes out swinging on an 0-2 slider that goes away from the edge.

Sam holding his own for us.
Leiter's variation is crazy. Really good pitcher.
We'll come around. Just told my brother, Leiter may be the best pitcher State has faced this season.griff17matt said:

I don't mind guys taking early hacks. This isn't the kind of guy you're going to chase from the game early with a high pitch count . Gotta get the bat on the ball.

Leiter looks better than Kopps. Gonna have to dig in, he's dealing tonight.
Our guys will figure this out.
Leiter makes Kopps look like child's play.
B3
Brown - Another 0-2 count, strikes out looking on a 2-2 heater at the knees.
Mensik - First pitch pop fly to CF for the out.
Jarrett - Also first pitch swinging into a pop out to the foul side of 1B.
Leiter with a quick 7 pitch frame is at 38 pitches through 3.
Score is tied 0-0 going to T4; 2,3,4 due up for the Commodores.

Kopps may be as well, but it wasnt as obvious
"It's ACC Championship or bust, quite honestly"
Announcers comment when the ump calls a bad pitch for us. Lead off walks are not good. Dig in and get a grounder

Quick game so far. This ump seems to have a crush on Leiter but I've only seen him hit 94 once and the rest have been 91-92. He's getting a big zone. Maybe I'm wrong

T4
Young - Draws a walk on the full count, probably should've been a walk on the 3-1 anyways.
Keegan - Sam drops his arm angle on 2-2 and gets him swinging on the slider. 1 gone, 1 on 1st.
LaNeve - Pops up to LF on 2-1, Butler handles the sun ok. 2 gone, 1 on 1st.
Thomas - Rolls over the first pitch toward Mensik who guns him down.
Highfill at 56 pitches through 4; 1 H's, 0 ER's, 3 K's, 1 BB's

Huge zone, Highfill was getting a big zone too until that inning.

Hard to tell from my seat at the game. The couple I looked at on my phone seemed generous.
