Holy Cross game 4 thread

We have the power of a Junior High team outside of Rea. Bradford and Hann just hit the ball as hard as they can and the outfielders caught it on a sprint towards the infield.

Well, that was a shit sandwich. Glad I wasted part of my weekend watching the piss poor effort our team showed. The Intense Bastard better wake these little titty babies up.

First blow out loss of the season. Doesn't make you feel good about where we are. Looks like John's pep talks just aren't working. We may need players like Wes Rea, Brett Pirtle, and Alex Detz to get on these kids asses. 4-4 with this schedule just isn't cutting it.

We only play them twice at least. We will pitch Woodruff and Fitts against them I'm sure.

This was the first game that we've really gotten beat because our pitchers were hit. Two of the other losses was due to defense and then the other we lost to the national pitcher of the week. The only silver lining is the pitchers that did get hit won't pitch a lot for us this year-and Shelly is probably done for the year.

Feels like we were mugged by the mafioso this weekend. In every game it seems those four Italiano kids were generating offense for them. Timely hitting by them in every game. And I know I'm exaggerating, but it feels like we have had more wild pitches thus far thei season than all last year!!

Why is everyone doing it again? Does no one ever learn? Are you trying for a 4th straight year of looking like a moron? We will be fine...

we started 17-0 last year dude, nobody was talking about finishing 12th last year.

Garner Humphreys and Heck have to start. This is getting ridiculous.

The catching situation has to be fixed. We play 6 games next week, our bats have to come alive, because we will be throwing some guys that will give up hits and walks.

On the year for Jacob Lindgren

He has thrown 7% of our innings thus far. Thats absurd. **** the experiment and start his ass. Needs to be at least 15% of our workload this year.

Totally agree - I would expect him to have a big outing next weekend - Hopefully get a start.

Is this true? Matthew Stevens just posted this on twitter:

"Holy Cross, w/ 0 athletic scholarships & w/o 13 players from last season’s team, just took 2 of 4 at No. 7 Miss. State to open 2014 season."

And the HC said they should have won the series because they were the better team.And we haven't even started playing the big boys.

Exactly, and in year 6 our program should be beyond the point of stumbling out of the gate like this AT HOME against mid-level competition. If we are truly trying to get to elite status this year may actually end up being a step BACK in the process. Like you said, last year our team looked MUCH more polished early in the season and we really didn't lose to any weak teams.
