The boys be hitting.
That's a great adjustment on his end b/c he did not walk a ton last year. I haven't looked deeply into his numbers (this year) since he's missed so much time but he's definitely been more patient so far this year, it seems.Alex Gee said:I think he has the highest walk rate on the team actually.CLTWolf said:
Man, Noah Soles is just a good hitter. He's not fast, he's not gonna walk a bunch, he just rakes. We really missed that bat when he was out (and his steady defense). He's got some clutch in him too.

Yeah he's walking at about a 25% rate. Drawn 6 since returning. Great leadoff approach.CLTWolf said:That's a great adjustment on his end b/c he did not walk a ton last year.

Pretty common play in that situation. Lefty on the mound, send the guy on first to try to draw a throw/balk since the pitcher is staring him down. With two strikes in a left on left matchup, it's not a bad play at all.Nairo said:

Edit: Maybe not common, but useful. We frequently try to get in a rundown between first and second in that situation. Have scored on it a couple of times this year and been scored on by teams using it.
I just like taking your chances with Soles. Glad we're finally making some defensive plays we've been seemingly missing all year.
Harrison was up there but I hadn't looked lately.Alex Gee said:Yeah he's walking at about a 25% rate. Drawn 6 since returning.

Harrison is right at 21%. I believe Noah was a hair under 12% last year so that's a nice jump.
Two really nice plays that inning. I hate Eli couldn't scoop that one from Payton.

Alex, I agree with most of what you say but that was not the time to try that. Soles doesn't strike out much. An add on run on third . You try to surprise them. Little League. That doesn't work against good teams.

They gave Soles a chance, but he got into a 2 strike count. I don't know the numbers, but I imagine the hit rate left on left with two strikes is very, very low. So why not try to make something happen? Made ND make a play and they did.Riddickulous said:

Yeah maybe. I just don't see a problem with forcing the other team to make a play in a two strike count with two outs left on left. Probably doesn't happen in a 1 run game.Packsd14me said:Alex Gee said:Pretty common play in that situation.

This team just has moments where it's like they turn their brains off.

Still disagree on Soles striking out often. Stealing home is a low per cent age play. Soles had a better chance to drive in the run. Water under the bridge now. Need 9 outs now.

PG got hot about this time last year as well. Would be huge for us.
PG is back folks.

I loved the call. You're up multiple runs late, you're in a two strike two out count left on lefty. Perfect time to try and steal a run there. Hell, Tampa Bay did the same exact thing to the Red Sox in the MLB playoffs.

The production of the broadcast of these games from ND has been so awful. It's like a high school AV club. Makes me appreciate what Andrew Sanders does for us even more.

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
Finally started doing some of the little things right the last 2 games. We have life!

Agreed. Awesome pitching the last two games. Great time to start a streak!

It was funny when they did not even notice that Dom had replaced Highfill. They were definitely high school level. Andrew is really good, so we are a little spoiled from that standpoint.wilmwolf80 said:

Gonna be a quiet night on the message boards. Lots of internet baseball geniuses upset by the win.
