Baseball: WSU vs Air Force (Mar 3,4)

[Cdizzle]

Shox gave up 6.1 free passes per game last season (walks+hit by pitch). They are currently at 3.8 per game this season. Hopefully this trend continues.

This win is good considering Air Force had 8 hits (versus WSU 2 hits)

Certainly the Air Force pitchers deserve a tip of the hat today. They were very effective.

Maybe we reverted back to a launch angle team today but I think I will just tip my hat to the Air Force guys. They got 'er done.

10-2 is a great start, but have you guys considered that HCEW can be mean sometimes?


















lmao jk. Go Shox!

I believe that is the longest winning streak since 2008, when Gene's boys ran off 19 straight mid-season on their way to a Super Regional at FSU.

We should have a better idea what to make of this start in anther couple of weeks.

I have direct knowledge of that from many players. Many, many players. So many. And both of them are MAD.

So what you're saying is.......

[T.VuOP]

Offense: WSU batters had 2 hits, AF had 8 hits (AF had the advantage)
Defense: WSU pitchers allowed 8 hits, AF allowed 2 hits (AF had the advantage)

Also, weak schedule or not, I find it fooking hilarious that it took Wedge all of two and a half weeks with a leftover roster 6 guys short of a full squad to get this done.

Hilarious in a sad clown kind of way.

Still have to be more consistent at the plate, but I'd feel a lot better about my tickets to Tampa if this current team could break that streak by 2.

2 Shocker runs on 2 hits. Efficient, right?

Still, major props to the pitching and defense for making that stand up. 1 free pass, no errors led to no Air Force runs in about 2:15 of gametime.

And that is the key. 1 free pass is excellent and I’m about as giddy at that number as anything else.

Obviously a little worrisome to only squeeze out 2 hits with a midweek pitching staff from Air Force, but we’ll take it. Pitching and defense were outstanding, which has been Wedge’s philosophy.

Now, we’ll see what we have, starting on Friday. 2-hit days won’t get it done.

So what you're saying is.......

lol stop

[1972Shocker]

Okay, sorta guessed those were positions. Had no idea what they would map to if so, so that helps me a lot!

And when in doubt you can just call a double play "the pitchers best friend".
