I'd like one game to be a blowout. Too much stress. We're cruising to a nice comfortable win and our All-American has an awful night.

Of course the important thing is they won.

I think the key, is that the bats are starting to show up. I think that once they do, we will see more comfortable wins.

This past Saturday was the closest thing to a blowout. Something's going on with D-Mo. Either he has an injury or something is in his head. Or, I wonder if the scouting report on him is more well known so batters know what to expect.

Dave, I actually think the bats are there. It's just getting the crucial hits when you have runners in scoring position.

I think D-Mo will be fine. I can give him a pass at Southeastern because, according to coach, once the rains started, he couldn't grip his breaking ball or slider. Ump was trying to finish the game since Cajuns had a two run lead and needed just 3 outs. Didn't work out that way.

Last night - I can't explain except Lee started the loss of momentum in the 8th (failed set-up attempt) and according to the broadcast, sounded like Blue was squeezing the zone. Dan and Jeff constantly asking, "where did that miss?"

We will see, but I remain confident in D-Mo. Lee... not so much.

Sounded like D-Mo was not getting several strike calls last night so he had to pitch more onto the plate. I also noticed in the televised game Friday he was looking and fiddling with one of his fingers on his throwing hand like there may have been a blister or some other kind of aggravation. Whatever it is, he needs to get back to the dominating D-Mo we know and love.

I think he was pretty good on Friday night against SHSU.

He was squeezed at times, including the pitch right before the big hit that got him removed. But he was also over throwing at times.
