Great 1st inning by Paige, now let's get him some runs
I have never understood the high fast ball. Why is that so effective? Why do batters swing at that shit?
Have you ever played baseball?
Yes. It’s why I don’t understand it. Do I have some type of unique ability not to bite on it? I don’t get it.
The area is a sweet spot that if you connect you crank at full power
You pick up the speed and feel the need to swing. You pick up the course too late to hold off. Pitchers love to screw with a batter's eyes.
Because of your comment....I'm sure you never played. At least past tee ball.
Bakich n co have been really good at battling against ace pitchers. This kid seems like on a whole other level tho.
Kumar has legit ace stuff. Have to hope he leaves a fastball down the middle or hangs a slider. If he's on....yeesh. #1 ranked prospect for the 2021 draft on fangraphs.
Sure, Rocker's got a live arm, but his hair's got no game. I think we can take him . . .
Rocker as advertised
Um, yeah . . . saving Kauffmann and Criswell for tomorrow may be a good idea.
Kumar has it going early
Rocker likes to work fast it seems.
This is gonna be a slog trying to get some runs
Rocker's going to be hard to beat today.
Batters settle down. You’ll be fine. Top of 2nd. 0-0.
It's gonna be hard to get a run off this guy. Just extending at-bats to force him to throw as many pitches as possible to get guys out would be huge. Can't let him pitch a CG.
This kid is nasty for vandy... going to have to win a low scoring tight one.
thats a filthy slider with that high speed fastball. I see the batters settling in after a couple of innings. Rocker is legit
Christ... that was ugly.
Secondly, Brian you are half correct on the podcast. Kumar Rocker is half-Indian. His mom is Indian.
Nice catch on his knees by Brewer.
Great concentration by Brewer
Oh man
Page is doing well but man it doesnt feel like thats gonna hold up w all this contact
I would feel more comfortable if he kept some of these strikes inside the park.
Luckily foul ball avoided Homerun.
Shoot. Error gets man on base. Two out.
Please be better with lefties Page
Oof...hope that doesn’t haunt this inning
Oh boy....
Kerr pulled a Buckner.
Wiggle out of this now...
Yes!
Paige took my advice
Paige lookin' good.
Yeah. LOL. Right. LOL.
Love the fan making the call foul.
3rd out with no scoring by V.
Atta boyo Isaiah! So far so good!
Solid play short. Off-stride too.
Rocker deserves his rep, but Paige looks ready for the moment.
Question: How did Vandy get these 40 yr old batters with the big Civil War beards? It looks like an MLB WS roster out there . . .
Roi... ds?
Child, I mean Enfante looks 40yrs old.
The bias from Eduardo Perez is already fucking nauseating
Go to ESPN.com. there is a raw feed, and it is AWESOME!
Kumar Rocker looks like he is in his 30s
They are connecting a little better than I would like to see. Kumar is also legit, he is scary.
Kid was down 3-0 in the count...battled back with 3 straight strikes against Kerr! This kid is legit!
That was 3-0 and he struck out Kerr... really? Ugh.
Ffs, 33rd round cleanup hitter v #1 projected draft prospect...
