Shox Open 2012 Season in Texas

[shoxlax]

Will this be the most anemic offense in Shocker history?

[WuDrWu]

Delayed the run. Bayliff can't throw the runner out at the plate and it's 1-0 going to the 9th.

Great play by coy saves a run

Only temporarily. LA-Lafayette 1 - Shocks 0 going to the 9th.

[shoxlax]

No patience at the plate. Ridiculous.

[WuDrWu]

I know we've waited too long, but can we afford to wait past this year, even if it's just one more season?

I think not. This is obviously a pitiful offensive team, even if Brent is doing his magic on the bump.

Not only don't we have the talent of other MVC teams (what a joke) but those guys aren't coached up at all.

Could this be the first losing season in the modern era? Brent probably keeps that from happening, but anything is possible, except a return to greatness.

2 down, and the ball still hasn't left the infield.

2 out double keeps the Shocks breathing. Casey at the plate.

[1972Shocker]

Louisiana-Lafayette 1 - Wichita State 0

That performance will take the edge off of any inkling of hope or excitement for this season.

Lousiana-Lafayette lost a ton from last year. Not sure they are that good.

[WuDrWu]

Just a tease, Shocks lose 1-0.

Shane calls a good game

I know we've waited too long, but can we afford to wait past this year, even if it's just one more season?

I think not. This is obviously a pitiful offensive team, even if Brent is doing his magic on the bump.

And if this kind of offensive showing continues, Brent won't be able to bring anything to the table either. What quality pitcher would want to have the pressure of feeling you have to totally shut down all opponents, strong or weak, to have a chance of winning.

Shane calls a good game

Too bad he didn't have a good game to call.

[SB Shock]

You could tell by Baylif body language he wasn't going to get the bunt down - that is just bad coaching not knowing your players strengt and putting them in position to fail. And then gene let's Coughenor hit away when he is 0 for 24.

Casey G had two chances to be a hero but looked overmatched.

[KC Shox]

Our hitting is just plain awful. Team batting averages past three years, .280, .295, and .276. For college baseball, that simply stinks. If you want to be an NCAA post-season tourney team, keep dreaming as those numbers won't give you a chance.

Is our hitting coach not doing his job, are we not getting recruits that are as skilled, a combination of both? If this season turns into another disaster, I've been a #10 supporter and feel he deserves to call it whenever he wants, but at the very least, our hitting coach needs to do some introspection and get things turned around!

Game 2: Let me just say I am a Josh Halbert fan and am glad he is in the line up.

[ShockerFever]

I'm so over this program right now. The pitching is there with Smith tonight but of course the bats are garbage.

3rd place in the Valley would be an achievement this year.

Game 2: Let me just say I am a Josh Halbert fan and am glad he is in the line up.

Wow, they're really playing game 2 tonight?
