Because he throws cutter. An elite cutter is Hudson’s at 91. An 85 mph cutter isn’t too bad but depends on the placement.Quote:

Freaking moronic to have Self out there in a one run game.

I took off to go to the opener, and have been back since. If we have ever done something right athletic facility wise at MSU, the New Dude is it. It's still college baseball, which usually has ratings that lag behind college softball, Baseball is a pro based sport. Good game up there, no matter the outcome.
I hope one of our guys asks Lemonis after this game why not Eagan against those lefties.
Cost us a much better chance at extra innings or winning this game
Ha! Who else knew we'd score 1 run when Self gave up that bomb? I can't be the only one
Eagan, Barlow, Gordon, White, anyone. I mean anyone.Quote:

Yeah, it was Lemonis’ dumbest moment as a coach here but he will look like a genius if we win the next two because we were able to knock out and drive up their closer’s pitch count making him useless the rest of the weekend.Quote:

Huh? That makes no sense at all. What does that have to do with Self pitching the 8th? We could have thrown any guy in our bullpen and we wouldn't be burned for the rest of the weekend.Quote:

Umm, no. Cronin can easily come back on Saturday. Damn.Quote:

Why did we leave Self in? He was struggling and we had a Lefty Lefty matchup warm in the pen. This L is on coaching and getting picked off of 1st in the 1st.
Cronin will be available Saturday. Had he gotten over 40 I would think otherwise but he will be available SaturdayQuote:
