Game 3: USM @ LA

[axg8750]

On a side note....I just caught it out of the corner of my eye but did the entire USM team do a karate style bow to their player after he hit a HR?

Is it just me or is that pretty lame?

[axg8750]

I was thinking the same thing. Everyone seems to have trouble throwing strikes and when they do, they're beach balls that get hit hard. Even DMo and Marks have issues sometimes.

Kind of reminds me of how some guys "in the know" tried to convince everyone HUD's recruiting classes were best ever. Funny stuff

We need a lot of walks and hits. At this point, anything isn't out of the question.

That box score is depressing, btw. SMiss runs from the 4th through the 8th -1, 4, 1, 2, 3. Then the 4spot in the 11th. Ugly.

16 hits was the bright spot. Albeit losing with 16 hits is also ugly.

Leger, Lee, Harris, Huval, Marks, Burk, DMo

There's your pitching staff. The rest are midweek innings guys at best. Hopefully Schmidt comes back at some point and is as advertised.

USM 15
LA 11
Middle 11th

Golden opportunity for a sweep. That was extremely disappointing

I did not want to jinx it ... but I was feeling optimistic when I learned USM was starting a freshman ... that has been unable to get anyone out this season.

Sooooo.....if USM doesn't start a horrible, freshman pitcher Cajuns get stomped?

So much for all the preseason hype around our strong/deep pitching staff. I know the weather sucked, but that was pathetic. What a way to blow a win

Hopefully this painful loss will serve as a teaching point... Still early . We made some silly mistakes and plenty of mental errors.

Would be nice if we had a shortstop that could at least make contact. How many times this year have they struck out with a runner on third and one out?
