Why can’t we play Gilbert???

Awful AB by Skelton. Swung at 2 balls.

Skelton is a JUCO player

Just an awful baseball player

Get that muther****er out of our uniform.

Cohen can’t stand Skelton either. Talking about how he’s swinging at balls after a walk. He’s right

Why does he play??

I’d rather Mangum catch

Cohen MUST hire someone that can recruit & develop players

I'm not sure any team makes it this far with the pitching injuries we've had the last 2 years

Cohen said that was a key AB. Skelton has to lay off that 1-1.

Skelton bailed him out and got him back in rhythm. I wish he was cut. Or at least benched. Don’t understand him playing

I'm tired of seeing Skelton on our team.

I'm not sure we will score 5 runs the rest of the game with the way our offense is going. We don't even have a hit yet.

In fairness this roster should be a CWS or bust roster for at least the next 2/3 years with the young talent. This CWS trip was invaluable to our program and all these freshman.

I don’t disagree - but even going into the season everyone figured we were another year or 2 from a solid Omaha team. The way this team grew, I wouldn’t be surprised to see us back in Omaha next year.

Their flares find grass and ours find leather. They're better, but the BABIP gods like them better too

Maybe, but even the lineup lacks impact. The freshmen class is a good start, but the roster isn't good.

Look how much more talented the other teams in this tournament are

We might get no-no?d

Perfectly stated.

It's pretty one sided on the luck end

Leaving small in too long and playing Skelton are both Henderson mistakes

That’s all about positioning.

There is no CWS or bust. What we can demand is a program that hosts 2 out of every 3 years.
