ORU vs. Shox

[SPEShockAlum]

This is great. I'm holding onto hope that, like basketball that started 1-2 early, baseball will go on a hot streak once it knows what it's capable of doing. Nice win today!

That is a good comparison. I hope it happens. Casey Gillaspie and Johnny Coy haven't come around yet. If those two start hitting for power along with what we saw today we should do fine.

Who is going to get their first win of the season, ORU or our beloved Shockers?

I say the Shockers boatrace them.

Of course I have been drinking all day and that may be clouding my judgement.

You called this one.

Good deal.

Don Lambert loves playing there. :-)

Didn't even know there was a game today. Kinda hard to get a feel with this one, with ORU starting off 0-4.

We're still 1-3.

Wsu should now start a streak of their own (positive one) with NDST coming in.

Although ORU lost 3 games at #25 Baylor (2 games by 1 run each) so I think their 0-4 start is a bit deceptive. Hopefully ours will turn out to be as well...

I agree. They played Baylor dead even for 2 games on the road so it is really hard to tell right now. I am hoping both of us go on a winning streak.

I'm not sure we will be able to tell much about this team even if we go on a winning streak over the next few weeks. The UT-Arlington and Tulane series should give us a much better picture of where we stand. It is interesting to note that Texas started 2-2 and OU 1-2 and both of them lost to teams with way worse RPIs than our losses. I guess that shows you how useless RPIs are at this point in the season.

Like I said in another thread, I just want to see improvement as the season goes on. Today was a good start.

89 nice enthusiasm and play by play. Are you available for this weekends series?

Thanks for the nice comments. I have to work this Friday, so I am probably going to miss Friday's game (there's a chance I might get the flu on Friday especially if the weather is nice). I am also probably going to miss the first game (or most of it anyway) on Saturday because I have season basketball tickets this year too and I have decided to go to the Drake game and stay for the post game celebration (although I could change my mind, especially if the weather is nice on Saturday).

The rpis are very worthless this early in the season. You have to have about a month of play before they start to really take shape.

Sweet! Well done Shocks! :good:

Micah Green gets a hit.... Shox have Casey G. on second and Micah on first with nobody out and Ryan Hege hits a HR!

SHOX UP 10-1!

Still nobody out.

Looking at the box score in today's paper, these two guys are really hitting the ball well. After our first four games both Micah Green and Ryan Hege have .667 batting averages.

I heard Bob Arens is taking the mound this weekend for his first ever start.

SARCASM ALERT. Just poking fun at JHanika a little bit.

Actually one of our other catchers, Baker, can pitch.
