Monster hitting covers up LOTS of holes in your club.
Ours is obviously in the pen.
Guess what. We are not perfect.
The last time we went to Omaha, we lost several games down the stretch.

Metal bats didn't walk 2, hit 2 and throw a wild pitch
"Have a nice day"
Look, I'm not hammering Bazar and Milhorn and saying they should not pitch again (sorry for striking a nerve laf1049). If it comes down to it, though, a 3 run lead in the ninth needs to be enough to get the job done. Maybe Robe made the mistake of putting them in. Maybe he was testing them for future situations. Blaming hitters for not scoring 9 runs every game is ridiculous though.
Blaming a college freshman for trying to miss metal bats is simply not being realistic. We will obviously agree to disagree. Bazar could have signed for six figures and be learning his trade anonymously in pro ball. He chose to be here. Now he's your whipping boy. Feel better?
This team is filled with winners… Sure Milhorn and Bazar would say the loss was on them… So would Jace, Leonards, Adams, and Harry… as well as anyone who played yesterday… That is the mentality of winners, they pick each other up and take full responsibility (whether truly their faults or not) because they always feel like they could have done more. I know we can't verify this, but does anyone think we wouldn't have come back to take the lead if we had another half inning to play? I have that kind of confidence in these boys… they find ways to win, and despite this slip up will continue to do so. RPI is out of our control, and although we will most likely be traveling for Supers, don't think for a second these boys won't turn it up a notch.
Very realistic. That's how you get recruited to pitch in division 1 baseball. If it was unrealistic, you would never have 19 year olds in the big leagues or freshman all americans.
"Boutte was great for us today," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "He kept a good hitting team in check for most of the game, and then (Matt) Plitt came on and did his job in the eighth. We just didn't get it done in the ninth and that cost us the ballgame."
I guess Milhorn and Bazar are Tony's whipping boys too. Relief pitchers have a job. Hold on to leads. It didn't happen. I am cheering for those two to bounce back as much as anyone. We will need them down the stretch. If we can't depend on the bullpen to hold a 4-1 lead in the ninth, though, we have some problems. We will not blow people out all postseason.
You obviously have some personal connection to Bazar because you take what I say about BOTH pitchers and only think I'm critical of him. I'm sorry if you are offended by what I say. I'm just not throwing this loss on the back of our hitters.
Dad04 is the father of one of our best ever pitchers… I think he understands what kind of pressure these young kids go through and they won't always be perfect. While I somewhat agree they didn't have their best stuff and were to blame for losing this game, I'll take their body of work over the course of this season any day of the week. Matter of fact, if their arms were healthy and rested, I'd pitch them both again Tuesday in tight situations because I surely haven't lost any faith in them.
I'm wondering if Milhorn has been a bull pen pitcher in the past (maybe at Arkansas)?
