Leiter makes Kopps look like child's play.

Leiter is cheating

Kopps may be as well, but it wasnt as obvious

---

How so?

---

The spin rate/sticky stuff, same thing that is a big controversy in MLB

Has a lot of prospect/draft people speculating what it will mean for pitchers in college that are using it and wont be able to as the pros are cracking down, and he's one of the main candidates

I havent heard anything regarding Kopps there, actually that was kind of an unfair thing to throw out by me just based on him having an amazing year out of nowhere. Which is why theyre cracking down on this stuff tbh

Below the knees is not a strike. Will be hard to beat him if he continues to get that called strike. Need a golf club to hit it.

Agreed - kid is dealing as it is, even without the help.

Every Vandy player looks like a smarmy *****.

We are swinging for the fence, just go for contact.

That fastball must move a **** ton. We can't hit it even up the middle.

The low strike has guys sitting on the bottom part of the zone and they can't catch up to the belt high stuff. They'll figure it out.

ESPN obsessed with Al Leiter.

I know his stuff is unreal, but his fastball is not the same velocity as normal but still blowing it by us

looks like it rises several inches

For the love of a God. Can we get Al F'n Leiter off of the damn TV broadcast. No one gives a sh*t.

Man that kid can pitch.

B4
Murr - Strikes out swinging on an 0-2 breaker.
TMcD - Patient Pack allowing Leiter to get ahead with another 0-2 count, strikes out swinging on 2-2.
Butler - Whiffs on a couple of hard cuts at fastballs, strikes out swinging on an inside 1-2 fastball.

Leiter at 51 pitches through 4, 9 K's so far.

Score remains tied 0-0 going to T5; 6,7,8 due up for the Commodores.

Was getting ready to type the same thing. Shorten up and star putting it in play.

Are we watching a baseball game or Al Leiter's induction ceremony, I can't tell.

At this point, I'm fully expecting ESPN to cut away to a 1990 Blue Jays game so we can watch Al pitch.

I agree. The low stuff is messing with the swing. They will definitely figure it out, but will take them a third time through the lineup. Just makes for a really large strike zone.

I wonder if Al is getting paid scale for this guest appearance or if his agent negotiated him a better rate?

Highfill missing a lot high. Fight through it and get out of this inning!

Honestly, if he's gonna miss anywhere haha

Preacher Franklin is at the game with his vandy whistle. lol. that old *******.

Looks out to me

safe

Don't use your damn review on a pick off at first.

Let angle shows he's out but they won't overturn.

Appears to be having grip issues. Going to the bag a few times on the high pitches.

Safe. Good attempt though

Thought so also. Angle from right field he got him with the end of the glove before the fingers touched the bag.

T5
Noland - Strikes out swinging on a 2-2 change.
Rodriguez - Flys out to RF on 1-0.
Vaz - Drives a 1-1 pitch to RF, Brown is able to get to it quickly and returns it to prevent a double. 2 gone, 1 on 1st.
---Highfill with a couple of pickoff attempts, the second draws a challenge from Avent but the call of safe stands.
Gonzalez - Sidearmed 1-1 turns into a grounder to SS, Torres flips it to Jarrett on 2nd for the force.

Highfill at 70 pitches through 5; 2 H's, 0 ER's, 4 K's, 1 BB's

Score is tied 0-0 going to B5; Tatum, Torres, and Tresh due up for the Pack.

Prediction- Leiter is about to start with two strikes.

Only 4 1/2 innings left to shoehorn more shots of Al Leiter in the stands
