Defense strikes again!

[PrestonyteParrot]

I would fire Kinston at the conclusion of the game today, if I had the power. Even if they come back and win.

That would be breath of fresh air for the team and the fans, possibly inspiring.

 

[uscjunkie]

If a team named Bryant puts us out of the regional, will that be enough to get Kingston canned?

 

[Blues man]

Ok leadoff on. Perfect

 

[Blues man]

So we cant take a lead on a base now because we are that bad at it. Wow

 

[uscjunkie]

How embarrassing......USC base runners are being made to stand on first during each pitch! This is a joke!

 

[PrestonyteParrot]

We're up 4 to zip in the error's column and the scorer robbed us on more!

 

[JandDSC]

We saw the guy they put at third against LSU and he wasn't any better. I have never seen a third baseman field the ball and turn to try and throw to third....LOL

Leeroy tries to throw to right field - how’s that better?

You haven't seen me say he is better! They are all variations of bad!

 

[JandDSC]

That ball was low and inside. Horrible call

 

[uscjunkie]

How much longer until football starts? I crave pain! LOL

 

[JandDSC]

Ah that’s where a 3rd baseman is suppose to play - result- a double play - our coach - that’s a double

 

[IBreakForGamecocks]

Just all around good defensive play by JMU - maybe Kingston could get them to lead a clinic for our guys!

 

[uscjunkie]

They picked a strange time to start pitching to CM....that was dumb!

 

[JandDSC]

Umm don’t we need just one run to win???? Why not sacrifice - idiotic baseball

 

[uscjunkie]

I think it had more to do with who was at the plate. Probably a terrible bunter.

 

[IBreakForGamecocks]

If they don’t win this now, they need to quit playing baseball!

 

[uscjunkie]

That was a crazy game. Oh well, I'll take it! LOL

 

[JandDSC]

We don’t win that game because of any coaching decisions by Kingston - we won it because of a poor coaching decision by JMU for pitching to Messina

 

[IBreakForGamecocks]

And of course Kingston will take credit for “a great win” when JMU handed us the game on a silver platter!

 

[Mountain guy]

A little luck too with the ball hitting the second base bag to even put Cole in that position.

 

[Blues man]

Why do I feel like every pitcher and catcher we go up against from here on out will be trying to pick us off base?

 

[Gamecock23]

Even in the win, we are fundamentally stupid. Why in the hell is Lecroy tagging up from second base when his run means nothing. If he leaves early or gets gunned out at 3rd before the runner reaches home, we are playing on to the 11th. Just dumb. Happy for the win in spite of ourselves.

I saw that and thought the same thing. It likely wasn’t going to matter but nothing but bad could’ve happened there.

Regardless, it’s good to win and be in the winners bracket.

 

[Bubba Fett]

If there's such a thing as an embarrassing win, then that was it. I mean you got to take it but wow.

JMU outplayed us in every aspect of the game. They just screwed up there at the end.

A win is a win, but I can't say we deserved it.

You would think Kingston would have us ready to play in at least one aspect of the game, yet we weren't.

Only some power and talent, and a bad decision by JMU saved us.

 

[kidrobinski]

Congrats to the team on the win; great effort and courage, never gave up. Proud of you guys.

We now return to the saber rattling.

 

[Evilchicken]

None of the good vibes absolve Kingston of his idiocy.

Playoff games, no ugly wins. Win and move on. I don't feel we win this regional, this defense is not going to be fixed this year.

Kingston fundamentals coaching at work.
Our team is fundamentally prepared for anything. HA HA

 

[Baltcock96]

LeCroy has got something on the coaching staff.....there is no possible way he should be playing! He has been terrible all year!

Well he was benched and we put Casas at third then he gets the hamate bone break.

 

[Baltcock96]

Not guarding against a double that’s for dang sure. That’s some of the worst positioning I’ve ever seen with runners on 2nd and 3rd. That’s why Kingston and his staff have got to go. Continually making stupid decisions that cost us during games.

Sorry, I would not guard against a double with 2nd and 3rd. You leave too much real estate between third and short and a base hit scores 2 anyway.
