BB - UL vs SLU

[RaginScotsman]

Austin pitched a gem but I think he should have been pulled for the last out. I know coach rob always say get an out after an error, Austin did that. That's a tough call. Leave the guy in and let him get his complete game or put in a fresh arm to close it out for us? *Hicks threw 2 pitches and got the 3rd out.*

No, that is Austin's game. Hicks didn't face the same batter and it's not as though he's been untouchable. Plus Aut had just gotten a ground ball right before.

I saw something tonight that's been absent from our ballclubs the past few years....passion! These young guys play hard every pitch and when they get some wins under there belt, they will be dangerous

No way. I wouldn't take the pitcher out in that situation, especially a freshman pitcher in a midweek game. Let him try to win it. Unlucky for us, they got a base hit. Austin pitched a freakin' gem though.

What a sick way to lose a ballgame. The pitching was great. The decision to keep robe in was fine. The simple fact is that one run is almost never enough to win a ballgame.

Jordan Bourque bunting into a double play may have given me cancer.

Wheels are off and the bus is in the ditch.

Not pinch running for Sinclair was a mistake, coach said in the paper that he is nursing a hamstring. First off why risk further injury trying to beat out a bunt and 2nd you can tell in sinclair's swing he is hurting. Todd should have caught tonight to give Sinclair some rest anyway.

IMO...it all comes down to scoring. This was a mid-week game...and not one against Rice or Alabama pitching at that...and we can only score ONE FREAKIN RUN? Nine batters can't back up a fantastic performance by a freshman pitcher?

Only one word for that -- pitiful.

Austin pictched one hell of a game. His biggest mistake was the error on the bunt that run scored. The picth the kid hit the double on was a breaking pitch a nice one at that the batter guessed right. But like said earlier you wont win a whole lot of games when you only score one run. The double play on the bunt I really thought that Borque beat it out and the third strike on T-Fred was a horrible call that pitch was so far out side he would have needed a flag pole to hit it.

+1...you need to protect a young arm better than that.
