Relief pitching sucks

No two ways about it

Defense cost us this one. Not the relief pitchers.

Pitching outside of McPherson, Valincius, Gleason, and maybe Stone needs to be more consistent. The talent is there but we hit batters in bunches and it seems like we are the world champs at hanging two strike sliders that get hit to the moon. It sucks that we basically lost the game on a couple of strike out passed balls that ended up getting on base and letting runs score. We have some growing to do when it comes to the little things.

USM could be really good too.

Yep, giving up too many free base runners and then giving up long balls behind them. Just like the UCLA game, we outhit USM tonight 9-7 but gave up 7 runs on 7 hits just like giving up 8 runs on 8 hits against UCLA mostly due to lots of extra base runners being put on through HBPs and walks.
