Mendham pops out with bases loaded and it's still 7-4 after 5. OSU has left 8 so far

Heck of an inning for Root there! Probably need to go to someone else and not press your luck. We all know that's not going to happen though.

First time this yr to Obrate and still can’t believe we are so blessed w that Park. Of the pitchers I’ve seen for us this yr Root’s performance today was the best I’ve seen. Mid to upper 90’s fast ball w great command of his offspeed. If we can get that or 90% of that from him consistently it would solve our Sunday starter.

Good to see McLean get going. He's now hitting .323.

Bayden Root goes 5 2/3 shutout innings to pick up the dub. What a performance from that young man.

Lol he had been pretty bad up until today. Hopefully this gives him a major confidence boost. Need to see it against higher level bats but still a good start.
Pokes go 4-0 this week and are now 8-3, as they should have.

I’ll admit to being a novice on baseball strategy so I don’t get too hard on baseball coaches. I’ve read where Josh is really into analytics which I do think have a place.
With that being said I’d love to see our analytics maybe even broken down by pitcher on our 0-2 count strategy. It just seems like to me we get ahead 0-2 and try to throw the perfect pitch off the plate to get a chase. Then we end up in a 2-2 count or worse. Just seems like it runs our pitch count up and causes loss of confidence. I’ve noticed other teams get 0-2 and come right after you. I don’t know the analytics but I do favor the 3 pitch out vs the 5-7 pitch at bat.

Hitters are good. You try to make a pitchers pitch. I’d complain if we caught too much of the plate on an 0-2 count

Now we are going places.
It’s easy to tell people that know nothing. This post shows you have at least a little awareness

the pitchers should just pump fastballs right down the middle every time they get ahead 0-2. you know, b/c 3 pitch at bats are way cooler than 5-7 pitch at bats...........
