Our baseball team is awful.

Our baseball team is awful.

This is on the coaching staff - starting with Lemonis. Unfortunately it’s hard to find a decent new head coach this early in the season so I guess we’re likely stuck with what we’ve got for the near future. Selmon needs to get busy.

I mentioned a few days ago that we better not get too happy about our batting until we saw them against a few decent pitchers, and this game isn’t making me feel very good about that so far
Yea. The hitting faces this pitching in scrimmages/practice. We know our pitching sucks. We know nothing about our hitting yet.

Smith starts the fourth inning with four balls and a hit bats man. Lemonis mercifully yanked him. Charlie and Bart commented that you only saw one batter with a one strike, no ball count.

Our first basemen cannot dig one out of the dirt to save their lives

and say what you want, that was a Forsythe error. Another one

It took 4 defensive miscues on 2 plays to cost us 2 runs. We are amazingly bad.

Going into the season I thought there was no way Lemonis wouldn’t survive at least one more year. Say it’s early all you want, but I don’t see how he gets through this. And we better hope the young talent on this team doesn’t transfer out or we will really be in a hole. Another screw job by Cohen.

Hunt throws three balls, a strike, then a ball to walk in a run. He’s three and 0 on the next batter. Go hall runs out to talk to him; damn, I feel better now. Thanks, Foxy!

Chopped ground ball that bounces over our 5’8” 1Bs head. Then our freshman RF misjudged the carom in the corner and it’s a bases clearing triple on what should have been a routine out. The fielding miscues are just comically Bad News Bears at this point.

I have not looked at the message board or the ball game and turned the game on. It was 7 - 0 when I turned it on. It is now 13 - 0. I see we have not with a solution for our pitching since last weekend. Are we just having another game in a series that we'll get our *** whooped and stomped on? I'll check back some other time and see if we ever taught or pitchers how to throw strikes

It astounds me that our pitching is that bad.

I know it's baseball and tomorrow could be different but this just looks like a really bad team. I might have a lot of free time by not watching and going to games this year.

It’s baseball. But when you’ve had 1 game out of the 1st 6 that you looked even decent in, it’s a real problem.

Aside from the chopper over our 5’8” first baseman’s head, Tapper has thrown very well. I say let all the freshmen pitch here on out, just commit to the rebuild and give all the young guys PT.

Jordan didn’t touch home plate

not that it matters…..
Yep, home plate ump caught it but ASU did not, so it wasn't pursued. Again, not that it matters . . . . . except something that you learn in T - Ball - you ALWAYS touch the bases, all of them.
