We were sitting on a 8-2 lead and once Tomas walked two guys with one out, O'Connor panicked and put in basically The 6-6 pitcher who basically throws 95-98 mile an hour fast balls.
Now you want the good news or the bad news? Good news is throws 95-98 mile an hour fast balls. Now the bad news. He was all over the place and he loaded the bases and then threw right down the middle to let a small guy that made good contact; a guy that doesn't have a HR all year hit a grand slam.
Then we bring in other pitchers, and in fairness to the last Pitcher the UMP was home cooking in the last two innings. Anyone watching will agree and the announcers were saying he had put that strike zone down to a real small area when we were up pitching. Had players on base and served up another home run to collapse with two outs in the last inning.
Also that was the WORST fielding at the fence by Nunnallee that pulled up, mistimed his jump and the ball creep just over the fence. That was the weakest attempt I've seen from a DIV I outfielder. Had he been just a little athletic he could have snagged it before it went over. His flop on the ground said it all. Zero athletic ability at all. Mistimed and no attempt to climb the wall. Regardless had he had any hops and timing it would have been caught. It barely cleared the foam on the fence but he mistimes his jump and smacks into the wall and the ball heads over as he is sliding down the wall.
O'Connor panicked is the bottom line. with an 8-2 lead, I would have let Tomas stay in with the one out and two guys on base for atleast a couple of pitches and not allow a fast ball pitch get embarrassed.
The problem with a fast ball only pitch is the NERDEST guy as the one that hit the home run with no HR in his resume just needs to make contact and it's going bye bye.
