First two batters of the inning with hard contact. Said to myself it's time to pull him. Then a 4 pitch walk. Still don't pull him. I have no clue *** these coaches are thinking.

If the home run wasn't enough evidence, or the sharply hit balls before that, time to get Hemric out
Why wasn't he pulled ?

Third time through the lineup for Hemric too.

Might end up regretting it but I am so looking forward to someone else calling the shots for us next year.

Idiocy. That's the only explanation.
Nobody posted it was time to take him out until after the damage.

I hinted at it...but hindsight is 20/20
I'm driving and listening on varsity. Went through a tunnel but assumed they had pulled him on the first mound visit. Kid was getting hit hard. And they said the were only gonna likely use nance for a couple outs.

Hemric had that cat 0-2 and ultimately hung a curveball
You're counting outs. Anything you can steal to limit Nance's outing you do. **** happens, go score more than 5 on a Sunday.

Fraasman ran so slowly that the catcher did not realize he had taken off, double-clutched, and still threw him out.

Despite the outcome I love the steal there.

Delayed steal. Took off about when the ball was crossing the plate.

Welp. I am on the couch watching the game and missed the mound visit. LOL.
There's stealing some outs for us!. 3 outs on 4 pitches for nance. Agree on gotta hit and score more runs. Wouldn't have mattered if we had marohn pitching Friday, and if we wind up only scoring 3 today, that's not near good enough either. Offense has to find a way to scratch out more runs.

So you'd pull Hemric, whom had allowed 1 run, in an 0-2 count left on left?

Let's go!
Not a smart play by Ty
He's in there. May even be safe at 3rd

Should have been pulled before that. The first three batters of the inning; Hard hit ball, hard hit ball, 4 pitch walk.

They should look at it. Was a nice slide.

Don't think they did. It was closer than I thought on the first look

Head has to stay at second for two reasons.
1. Let the run score.
2. Be at second where a base hit gives your team the lead.

Luckily we got a run. I don't like bunting with Nixon there. Yes he is usually pretty good at getting them down. I would rather let him hit and it's a good chance he doesn't get doubled up. Head is fast and exciting, but you don't make the first or the 3rd out at 3rd.

Or they have to make a great relay to get you and you're on 3rd where a passed ball can score you as well.

Young kid, getting hit hard, third time through- yeah I would've pulled him after the last hit before the hr. Especially if plan was to only have nance get you a couple outs. On the radio broadcast it sounded like that's all he was gong to be good for today. Regardless - doesn't matter now. Just need to score some more runs at this point.
Harris has thrown four strikes and the count is 3-1

It was an average relay that he almost beat with a great slide. You don't make third outs at third base. That is a cardinal sin in baseball. I don't think he was even being sent to third by Hart.

Have to stay on 2nd unless u are sure you getting to 3
Just don't gain enough to risk it - he beat a good amount

This game just always seemed destined to be a gut punch. And here we are. Dang.

Yeh you gain nothing by taking that chance.
Have to walk this kid and play with the bases loaded??
Interesting pitching choice.
Such bad baseball on VT-how did the guy on 2nd not get to 3rd with one out
Fraas skied the throw
