Like that inning after a long battle with that hitter he has him throw 3 off speeds all balls then 3 straight fastballs the kid couldn’t catch up to why not pound the strike zone with fastballs then the off speed looks a lot better

Coogs up to 51 in RPI now. Head to wichita where the Shockers are 53rd. Win the series and the Coogs probably jump up into the low 40s. Sweep and the Coogs probably jump into the 30s.

Keep the faith, Coogs.
