Om bout to take 2 of 3 vs #2 Louisville... Really sick of them being better than us at baseball

I'm kinda sick of them being better than us in all the big 3 sports. Maybe Howland can pull off the sweep this year.

Football is pretty close... They have won 3 of 4 though. Both teams look like they're retooling next season.

Their run in basketball is over. We will much better starting next season.

Baseball... They just seem to be the better program and it makes me sick

[dawgday166]

Well ... we ain't paying as much for players as them, but they whupped us pretty good in football last 2 years. Basketball I believe you're right.
Baseball ... we'll see. I wanna give Cohen benefit of doubt. From looking at some other top teams, it seems like some of them ain't lighting the scoreboard up either against teams I would think they would. However, if he keeps calling a sac bunt with a runner on 2nd and no outs in early innings tho ... my optimism will plummet pretty rapidly.

GTFO with that BS. This year was the 1st time they have been better than us in football. Took Freezus 4 years to finish ahead of us in the West. 4 years

We played for the NC in baseball a couple years ago.

[msstate7]

Pour it on, dawgs... We need a big offensive game after the 1st 3 games this weekend

[Coach34]

Nichols pitching is awful. We should score 15 runs today

Good. Maybe we'll have a little confidence after today and swac pitching Tuesday

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Do we get to count this game into Hump's average?

I'm referring them sweeping us in the big 3 in 2014 - 2015 school year ... which, I don't know, hadn't happened in like forever I don't think. I thought we were better than them in football each of past 2 seasons ... but we lost.

Anyway ... this is baseball thread .. didn't mean to get it sidetracked.

[I seen it dawg]

Can somebody provide some sort of baseball game update please?

[msstate7]

We're beating a really bad team 6-0

[dawgday166]

6 - 0 Dawgs bottom of 4.

[Bothrops]

So does anyone else think we're gonna get raped next weekend in LA?

[dawgday166]

Don't know ... if I recall from looking at it earlier today ... Ok doesn't look that good, SC doesn't look like a world beater either. UCLA I believe has struggled against a couple of weaker opponents too I believe (maybe not tho, can't remember).

We might do alright.

[I seen it dawg]

Thanks

[CadaverDawg]

So does anyone else think we're gonna get raped next weekend in LA?

Yes, we very likely go 0-3 next weekend....unless we play 4, I can't remember...in that case 0-4. I've seen nothing through our first two weekends that tells me we can hit an above average pitcher.

[msstate7]

I'm sure I'm overlooking some games, but I can't remember us ever playing well out west. Hopefully we surprise

[msstate7]

Another pitcher topping out mid-80s shutting us down

[I seen it dawg]

Aren't we winning? We were up 6-0 were we not?

[engie]

We're beating a really bad team 6-0

That was RPI top 100 last year and stole midweek games from LSU, ULL, etc. They have struggled over the past week or so though.

[dawgday166]

Same score in bottom of 6th.

[engie]

Aren't we winning? We were up 6-0 were we not?

We are. We've give up 4 runs through 33 innings this weekend. But people have to be upset about something in the midst of a 4 game sweep on the weekend.

Don't look now -- there are only about 2 chances for truly bad losses left on the schedule after this weekend.

They have 4 wins over miss valley state and losses vs everyone else... Bama hung 13 on them and umass-Lowell hung 11 and 9. We've got 7 hits on their 4th day pitching... We've benefited greatly from 5 walks

I am happy with the pitching, but I see potential problems with our bats and the left side (3b and LF) of the diamond defensively

[I seen it dawg]

We will struggle to score but our pitching is gonna keep us in it.

[msstate7]

If we aren't gonna hit anyway, I want us to put our best defenders on the field. If pitching is our bread and butter, help them out with defense

Then Hump and Collins aren't going to be in ur lineup... And they won't be DH either...

So -- we're going to whine about timely hitting -- then complain when we get it?

That's a team that hasn't been outside the RPI top 150 since at least 2010. A lot of data there to imply they will end up being decent.

Portland - 2-0
Grambling - 2-0
Purdue 3-2
Purdue 7-6
St Joseph 3-2
St Joseph 2-0
St Joseph 4-1
Alcorn 7-6
What do all those scores have in common?

Teams we "barely" beat in 2013 that were worse than Nicholls St has been in the better part of a decade.

Context does wonders.

[dawgday166]

Question - Is Stovall stellar in the field?

[mic]

Question - Is Stovall stellar in the field?

Well .. He took infield at 3rd Friday night..
Comes into catch when lovelandy goes Down first batter...
Plays 2nd when we bench Hump and move Collins to 3rd, and made a play that Collins wouldn't even had an attempt at..
Then plays 2nd in game 2 and starts at 2nd today...

So yeah the kid can play.....

Everyone will really enjoy him play play for the next 4 years.....

I'm really not trying to complain, but this offense has been really bad this weekend and there's no spinning it. Throw out sds (terrible... 0-8 and given up 10+ in 6 of those games) and we've scored 6 runs twice (today vs a bad pitching team and in a game where fau had a big lead). We aren't hitting and we have holes defensively. We have to get better or this could be a long year

[dawgday166]

I just heard the great play he just made. Kid seems to hit as good as anyone on teams as far as I can tell too.

[Brando]

That play Stovall just made makes him look stellar. Prolly will be right field Tuesday night***

[msstate7]

We have what 1 hit the last 5 innings against the bottom of their staff. Please put up a big inning here

[msstate7]

Besides the outstanding pitching this weekend, my positive is Stovall. Like this kid

[BiscuitEater]

Don't think it ever happened as long as Stansbury was our BB Coach. Think Stans ONLY lost once to OM in the Hump and he won several at the Sad Pad.

[GreenheadDawg]

We have a bunch of Nancys at the plate except for Kruger. Nobody with any balls. I've seen more batters watch a fastball right down the dick more times than I can count the past 2 weekends. Somebody has got to step up. Thankfully pitching has been pretty good

[I seen it dawg]

Stovall is pretty good. He is just a damn good baseball player.

Stovall and Brown to that

[msstate7]

Cody brown needs to play. He's hitting for extra bases and he can address a hole in our defense in LF

[GreenheadDawg]

Stovall and Brown to that

My apologies, I forgot about Brown. I'm going to wait until I see Stovall play a little more before I praise him but he has looked good so far. Maybe we'll get to see him next month. Since I'm sure he'll go back to the bench **

[engie]

It's already a long year -- because people overreact to everything. But only when it's a negative.

[dawgday166]

I will give Stans that ... he did wear out OM for most part.

[msstate7]

We did what we had to do this weekend. Outstanding pitching. If we can find some offense to go with our pitching, we might be a decent team this year

[Brando]

I think we will find it eventually. Just gotta leave people alone in the line up and let the best play. I sure wish Lowe would get hot. I imagine he can hit a country mile...

This x1000. Damn, there are some freakin' whiners on this board.
Cohen meddles with the lineup too much. Wait no, he keeps trotting out the same guys. He should play these guys more. No, dammit, he meddles too much.
I think some people just keep up with the games to find the next thing to bitch about.

Really? We have 34 SOs in 8 games .. nobody has more than 5 and that is Robson who will definitely come around. Last year it was .. Nobody is swinging at the first pitch. That's NOT the case this year. We have 88 hits .. 33 for extra bases. WE ARE Swing the bats and making contact. NOT Adidas bats I will add.
