UL @ UTA - G3

[Dad04]

The season is over. The sky is falling. These posts are laughable.

Anybody that goes deep in June will need to be hot AND lucky. Might as well be us.

We do play with one RPI hand tied behind our back, but we have no choice but to keep calm and baseball on.

Quit that. It isn't any more mature than people obsessing over the loss. As a matter of observation it is less mature. People are keeping very close tabs on the team & care very much about everything as opposed to what alternative? Not giving a good hoot? So what is your point other than to try to sound like you have it all under control? I'm not stressing because I've been told a hundred times "it's baseball." I guarantee you, Robe wasn't happy at all about losing this game, especially in the manner in which they lost it. If you have a three run lead going into the 9th inning and lose then that isn't anything good. However, unless they booted the ball around & generally played like crap in the field then it isn't a team loss all the way around. It's a bull pen problem. If it happens once, it's an anomelee. If it happens again it's a developing bad habit. One in which could cost your team a national championship. I have no doubt Tony is going to address this at the right time in the right manner. But if your team gives you a three run lead in the ninth it's the closer's job to bring it home every single time out on the moud. That's the accountablility of a champion. anything else is excuse making for failure. Champions don't fail.

You guys are cracking me up trying to make a case that Robe doesn't know what he is doing. We are 36-5 or something like that, ranked #1, and just won a conference weekend series on the road.

Another one putting words in people's mouths.
if Coach thinks that giving pitchers experience of working their way out of jams at the risk of dropping games is worth it then im sure it is the best thing for the team.

That doesnt mean that it isn't frustrating to fans.

Now you are putting words in Robe's mouth. You can bet your ___ he is playing to win.

Now that's the spirit!

There is only one thing we can control right now ... and it is each game we play ... hopefully this loss will be the springboard to a GREAT finish to the regular season and on into S-BC tourney and beyond.

A bus trip home after a tough loss ... I think these guys will get it corrected ... we'll see Tuesday.

Scoring only 4 runs against Sunday pitching is not normally going to be enough.

Except for it was. Boutte threw a gem against one of the better hitting teams in the sunbelt and our bullpen let us down. Let's not forget either that they threw their best statistical pitcher against us yesterday.

[CajunRage]

It was 100% a team loss. We average nearly 9 runs a game and teams simply give up before the last out. Not today.

Give Boutte a call and tell him this loss was on him. Bullpen meltdown, period. We scored enough to win. We pitched for 8 innings well enough to win. Don't know how it's a team loss when you have 2 walks, 2 hit by pitches, a wild pitch and a couple balls off the wall in the 9th.


Edit: Not saying it's reason for panic. You have off games and we still did enough for 8 1/2 innings to win. Not faulting anyone but Milhorn and Bazar for this loss. Let's bounce back tomorrow and finish strong.

You are right.

I firmly believe that you grow through failure and not success ... if these guys come back tougher because of the loss it was worth it.

We have to have someone in the 9th if we really want the big prize.

We average 9 runs per game. They average 5 runs per game, but we scored enough to win? Please check the scoreboard again. I think it still says UTA 5 UL 4.

We both had an average day pitching and they had an average day hitting, but we did not. They won.

Really? We should just put a 9 on the scoreboard every game. If they average more, they win. If not, we win. Every game is different. We scored enough to win this game. Get 3 outs in the ninth and the game is over. If you think we are going to score 9 runs in every post season game, you're insane. Are you going to blame it on the hitters there too?

Yeah really. People like you think you are watching major league baseball. These are college kids pitching to metal bats. This happens in college baseball. it is not as easy as it looks. This is why Robe is still stealing bags with a five run lead. Ever notice that? Have a nice day.

I'm so infuriated at being 36-5! How in the world can we have lost 5 games?! That is unacceptable. We, as fans, must not tolerate this level of mediocrity. It's what did us in in the past. We've played 41 games and we already lost 5? That is pathetic. I'm so disgusted. I'm not keeping up with UL baseball until the CWS national championship game... and if we're not in it... it's time to FIRE ROBE. 5 losses and it isn't even May? We suck.
