Good, he's probably been their least effective pitcher in the CWS. And Mangum makes another baserunning mistake to end the inning when we are down 4 runs. Oh well, he was due for one.
Dumb. 4 runs down and you try to stretch a single into a double.
Why? Jake is in scoring position at 1st with rowdey up
Mangum has got to stop trying to hit a 6 run home run on every single play. It absolutely kills us and as the team leader he can't do those things. There are times you just have to take what is given. He needs to learn that skill badly.
Mangum awful on the basepaths entire career
Outclassed.
-In the field.
-At the plate.
-In the dugout.
Hard to overcome that.
How much does not having a coach at 1st hurt us?
pressing and playing desperate instead of letting the game come to them
Oregon State is the best college team I've seen at staying behind the baseball the baseball & creating extension
Get a fly ball out instead of that 3 run bomb and this is a nail biter (and we’re even more pissed at Jake for that baserunning error).
Oh well, one mistake = 3 runs vs this team
Down 4 runs you don't do stuff like that.
That's one thing that's bothered me with our team and teams in the past. We act like 12 year olds in the dugout. Down by 4 in a semi-final game, and dudes are dancing around acting stupid. It's good to have fun, but we should be pissed off we're getting embarassed on prime time TV with so much on the line.
