  1. Except when you score 3 runs with 1 hit and the one hit was after the 3 runs scored.
  2. Make that 2nd place. WVU loses to Kansas.
  3. So what am I supposed to do tonight?
  4. What would do it for you? We created a considerable amount of pressure last year but struggled to get the QB to the turf. Part of that was the first half of the season in which the intermediate middle of the field was left open. Closing that up should hel the pass rush. But if Sorrell gets double digit sacks and the leader on the opposite side gets 5, will that do it for you? Assuming pressure up the middle continues.
  5. A freshman lined up to another freshman is where you can get problems. A freshman mixed in with a bunch of experienced, solid guys is another deal. We are in pretty close to an ideal situation to insert an inexperienced LB. Lots of quality returning upfront. Experience next to and behind him.
  6. Not the same position but after Leveon returned he was nothing like the player before he sat. Lamar can’t afford to lose any twitch by sitting a year. I suppose he could come back stronger mentally prepared, but that seems unlikely. Kinda unreal someone could sit out a year during their prime. Not a Ravens fan at all but liked him. Now, I hope he falls on his face.
  7. Yes, yes it is. But if he were to somehow start, play well and squeeze into a late round draftee, then you can bet I’m claiming it.
  8. Why is Galvan playing so much? He was a sub .200 before today. His defense has been suspect at times.
  9. It’s cool. The team is fun to watch. Sometimes crappy baseball being mixed in is more entertaining. We’ll see how mentally strong we are now. Thomas goes deep in the count a fair amount it seems, but he’s not always finishing. Doesn’t strike out a ton, but hits it on the ground quite a bit. Pulls it too much. I don’t it’s a talent issue. It’s just requiring patience. Generally speaking I think Daly gets too much hell. He probably knows he’s not a natural SS. But if I were to speculate, I’d think he’s a team leader and there’s value in that. He was pretty damn good defensively this weekend - the play at home, taking the lead guy on a hit and run when O’Dowd dropped the transfer, seemed like a soft hit that he easily made the play on too. It wouldn’t surprise me if Daly and Thomas both are putting a little extra energy into their defense which may impact their offense. They both show some good stuff at times offensively. Daly has had several relatively hard outs throughout the season. He had one this weekend right at the right fielder, which was not the warning track fly ball. He legit had one caught that was going out earlier at home. He has multiple warning track fly balls that I’m hoping warmer weather carry a bit better. If he can get on about 35% of the time, play consistently in the field, then that’s productive in my opinion.
  10. Did you not ask if I thought Thomas would get the run in if he was batting rather than Daly? All that shit I quoted you supports my answer. You’ve showed nothing to support your dislike of one over another other than emotion.
  11. Fine. I was not definitive in my statement. In combination, they were inning killers. But that’s baseball. Sunday (maybe Saturday) against TT, GG killed the inning with a huge inning ending bases loaded DP. Then guess what he did next time up? We can’t rely on no runs from the 2nd thru the 8th then rely on our 7-8-9 guys to get them across home.
  12. Thomas was 0-3 against the dude this very weekend. Two strikeouts. A groundout. Two inning enders including a game ender. Thomas was 2-11 on the weekend. 4 strikeouts including one on a hit and run. Walked once. 4 groundouts. 1 fly out. His two hits were lead off singles. As best I can tell, he had no productive outs. Thomas average, slugging %, on base percentage are all lower. Do I have faith Thomas knocks in a run? No. He does hit quite a few ground balls and a decent number of his hits are through the infield. Both those ABs were the final straws of an unproductive weekend for the entire offense. Outside of the homers, we were terrible.
  13. Almost whatever didn’t help us. Thomas had several elevated pitches that could have resulted in sac flies. He took the first pitch right down the middle. His out meant the double play was possible to end the inning. From a pitchers perspective the first out is critical. Stebens pitched 3.2 innings. Daly got 1 of the 2 hits versus him. Walked another time. Unfortunately Daly lost the 3rd battle. He got 9 other outs against other guys while allowing 2 guys to get on. Daly killed the inning, but there isn’t much to say that our next hitter would have done anything.
  14. That’s was a great meltdown in the 9th. In retrospect, we should leave Hurley. But you have to test Morehouse if you think he’s the closer. Riggio down 0-2? Woody decided to call pitches hoping for strikes rather than attack. He should know Morehouse struggles a bit with control. Yeah, Dalys groundout was a killer, but Thomas may have been worse. He could have fouled off 100 pitches. It still was a terrible AB. A bases loaded no outs K. Took the most hittable pitch. Took a little pressure off the pitcher. OSU has the makings of a really good team. How we rebound is now more critical than losing this one. Kennedy and Powell must produce. They didn’t. Also reasons we lost.
  15. Two outs. Fielded, tagged, thrown out at first.
  16. But it wasn’t enough for the dude at home to not seek help.
  17. Does the rule inside the line or on it?
  18. Strategically having your number 2 go Sunday might be a winner. Pierce did a good job last Sunday of stealing some outs with Duplantier, Walbridge and Whitehead. It may not have been pretty, but we won and longer term innings like those could keep the bigs guns fresh. They got key outs and Whitehead easily could have been scoreless too. Tech just put up 20 versus TCU so they score. I think we’ll see Shaw as the 8th inning guy with Morehouse in the 9th. Two years ago, we were Witt, Quintanilla the Nixon. I’d bet that’s where Pierce wants to go if able.
  19. I can’t imagine with this many games left to play that anything is certain. Our noncon opponents could dominate. Other top 8s could flop. Or we could just win out.
  20. Lost the guaranteed plate appearance of Campbell there.
