Two balls off gloves.

We had the momentum.

You have to make plays.

Will Brown go visit or wait for us to fall behind?

Here we go again.

Nothing is easy for this team.

Huge dp. We escape 1st and 3rd nobody out….

Still 3-0 after 2.

Errors really haunting us…

3-0 good guys after the top of the first. Bradfield gets on via walk and steals. RBIs for Keegan, Noland and Bulger.

Lot of pitches for SD starter. Let’s hope Maldo steps up for this opportunity.

Backs to the wall.

I have no tv for this one. So no complaints about the strike zone. : /

Give Little credit. He needs to bottle that outing and bring it back home next year. He gave us a chance.

3-2.

We had our chances. Bulger ripped the last one. Kind of wish we had let Bradfield run. We played tight. And it cost us. Especially early.

Maybe Hewitt moves to the 5-spot tomorrow?

Keegan blasts one.

3-1 going to the 8th.

How many pop-ups will we hit? Trying to lift it in a stadium where balls aren’t carrying at all.

Maybe our batting coach is telling them to try to go with the pitch? The pressure of egg-laying taking a toll.

I wish just one guy would try to go with a pitch and stroke a single.

We’re down three. A solo shot is fine, but we need base runners.

Holton came in with a 24 inning scoreless streak. SD has scored in three different innings.

We are digging a hole. Kind of lucky it’s only 3-0.

But we need to get on base… we are putting no pressure on them.

Our fielders seem to be wherever they aren’t hitting them.

So frustrating.

The announcers keep saying how hard it is to homer here. That is good news for our relief staff.

We just need to throw strikes.

Another first pitch change up. Come on.

Brown needs to go tell Holton to just pitch.

He has good stuff. He is throwing to first 100 times. Fishing around the outside corner which he isn’t getting. Just throw.

San Diego pitcher throws a lot of first pitch change ups.

We need to sit on one.

Well, the bad news is we don’t score.

The good news is both Bradfield and Jones hit rockets - and Vaz walked. So - we did not go quietly.

Vaz being Vaz. We need base runners.

This is an appalling start. I mean 2 terrible errors in the top of the first.

Lucky it’s only 1-0.

And we are burning our best pitcher.

We need to turn it on NOW.

By the way, Gonzaga of the WCC got drilled by Columbia. We need to hit.

I would take a risk here. We need Holton to beat State. The decision is whether to throw Futrell or McElvain against SD. Futrell has not been great his last few outings - but he is a lefty which seems to be a hurdle for SD. I would have Reilly ready early regardless - and I would tell him to throw s...
