Debarge, JT, and Higgs are a combined 2-21 in the first 2 games. Those guys need to get it going. Good to see the rest of the lineup putting some offense together though. When they do get it going, look out.
Let’s get a series W tomorrow.
Yep. 2 freshman allowed 6 of the 7 runs.
May as well cancel the season after losing a 1 run game to a team thats been in a regional each of the last 3 years and brought nearly the entire team back.
I was wondering how long it would take for these posts to start. Wasn’t even 24 hours into the season! LOL
Ah, yes, the saga of the mighty Wright State team, a group so stellar they practically shine brighter than the sun. Returning from their victorious escapades of yesteryear, where they conquered over 50% of their non-conference opponents (a feat to rival the gods, surely), they then gallantly brushed aside the likes of the esteemed No5 (25-32) Milwaukee Panthers and the illustrious No2 (29-31) Golden Grizzlies of Oakland. With only a solitary blemish on their record in the land of their conference, they've stormed through the regionals with the grace of a bull in a china shop, emerging victorious in precisely zero out of two tournaments.
Truly, we should count our lucky stars to even be graced with the opportunity to witness their greatness this weekend. But mark my words, my dear fellow baseball enthusiasts, for when we face off against the mere mortals of the SEC and American conferences in the coming weeks, it shall be a spectacle to behold. With but a fraction of the effort we've witnessed in these initial encounters, we shall undoubtedly sweep the field with the ease of a breeze through an open field. Oh yes, just you wait and see.
It's early. When this team hits its stride, I believe it's gonna be special.
You’re trying too hard.
One thing I can guarantee you, the best team in the country wouldn’t go undefeated playing Wright State every game of the season.
Not to mention its opening weekend. We have exactly 2 guys back playing where they played last year, and they happen to be a combined 0/15 so far…which will certainly change. More than half the lineup had never taken a D1 at bat, and neither starting pitcher we’ve thrown had previously thrown a pitch in D1.
Winning 2 of 3 this weekend would be a good result, regardless of how misinformed your opinion of the opponent is.
My observations after two games. The pitching is way better throwing strikes no walk fests like last year. Gunner has a game plan and they are trying to execute it. Offense will come around Higgs and Debo and Taylor will hit its early. Lafleur bat is very encouraging to see this. Langevin last night was impressive. I see good things coming with this group. We knew the outfield was going to be a work in progress hell Rocco and Hood was gold glove caliber out there can’t expect that every year. The wind today was brutal for any outfielder. Take two of 3 tomorrow and continue to grow as a team.
