That's our season in a nutshell. loose a game on a passed ball after the offense can't get a hit w/RISP and the coaches screw up the lead.
Hunt should have been the surprise hero of a win, instead he'll get blamed for the loss by some

Um did you not see our catcher forget how to catch a baseball?Quote:

He's been bad behind the plate. Yeah, I know Luke's arm, yada, yada but Luke makes that play.Quote:

But it's hard to watch.Quote:

Yeah, pitching is bad but our situational hitting is bad. We leave way to many men on base and have all season.
I don't blame KC. I blame the coaches for letting him see 1 more batter when the closer was warmed up and ready.Quote:

I can buy that.Quote:

Hitting I thought would be his issue. But... he has one strength at this point. Elite speed for a catcher.Quote:

Getting kinda' old getting beat by Kentucky all the time; football, basketball and now baseball. We need to get this turned around.
Didn’t he play football in high school? If so he seems to be athletic and should learn from his mistakes tonight. Tough situation for the kid.Quote:

We'll win a series or two but I have little doubt we'll finish last in the West once again. We've been relegated to being competitive with UK and Mizzou instead of the big boys of the league. Hard to believe we've let this happen two years post NC.Quote:

Agreed. Put Hines in at first and let's roll w/Luke. Yeah, they'll steal bases but it's not like Highfill has been gunning them down either. His throws are all over the place and we all know he can't block a beach ball. Let Highfill rotate in DH'ing and catching mid-week.Quote:
