Reminder the inning is over with no runs if you had a competent Right Fielder.

Single, passed ball, single and a run down afterwards. Other run doesn't happen without passed ball.

Why are you such a nance apologist haha

It was a ball that hits fence in air, not a can of corn. They are squaring him up tonight, it's ok to admit it

You can't afford to let Nance sit out there and struggle. You've been gifted a rare gimmie for game two with the Auburn loss. All hands on deck to win this game. Turn it into a bullpen game, throw your best guys for an inning, switch pitchers every inning to keep them ready for the rest of the weekend, whatever you need to do to win the game.

Sure, but it's a play an average defender makes and it's a tie game through 3 ahead of schedule on pitch count.

Auburn's stadium sends everything to the fences.

Bailed out here. Again, get your lead off guy and let him do something on the bases. I don't get it.

Our best chance to come out of this thing is at least 9 more outs from Nance tonight. He's the kind of guy that can pitch how he has so far and shove for 3 more innings if we don't look like the bad news bears behind him.

3-0 swing and you're late. That's unacceptable

I generally have no problem swinging 3-0, 3-1, 2-0 but man you gotta be on time for the fastball if you do.
