If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
then why even schedule it. One pitcher each inning. They all come in throwing fastballs, so EKU just sits on them. Meanwhile, we can't hit the side of a barn. I'd have rather left this week blank an scheduled someone later in the season. This, so far, is unwatchable.
Just had bases loaded and one out, followed by two strikeouts by Paul and Gonzalez. Good grief.
EKU's starting pitcher had pitched 11 innings and given up 13 runs. In five innings we got two hits and struck out EIGHT times.

Re: If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
Is this the same team that is 6-11 for the year, and starting pitcher's ERA is 7.59?

Nice tune up for conference play. Pretty pathetic. EKU sucks. This is just plain garbage.

I think a pretty good case could be made for a very disappointing season

Re: If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
This Junior class is the worst class of pitchers maybe in the history of the program. Other than Raby, not a single other pitcher can be counted on for an out.

I hope basketball reaches this level of success soon so we can start calling them $hitty and disappointing when they are ranked #13.

Re: If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
So the crappy call at 1st to end the 8th inning was important after all. At the time, I didn't think it would affect the outcome.

Just glad they showed some fight. Can carry that momentum to Starkville. That loss dropped the RPI all the way down to 22. Bad, bad ,bad loss and could hurt come host time.

Re: If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
But you see what you can do when you DO try to win, as opposed to Wednesday when we were hap hazard about everything, and pitching 9 guys in 9 innings. Sweep 3 over number 24, lose to number 250 (or so).

Re: If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
At what point do you trust Corbin to do his job? Maybe he just might have an idea of what he's doing out there.
Enjoy the team, enjoy the kids, enjoy the season, and ENJOY THE SWEEP!

Re: If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
The committee understands these types of games and puts little stock in them. Sure you want to win, but getting innings and at bats for young guys is more valuable than a midweek win. There are a lot of questions about this team, but there also appears to be crazy good depth and competition in this freshman class.

Re: If we are not going to legitimately TRY to win a game
If you told me we would sweep LSU this weekend if we didn't try against Belmont, then I would say, "Here, Belmont, take one".
Always hopeful; rarely optimistic.
