Shocks @ Louisiana Tech Feb 18, 19, 20

[Kung Wu]

Fudge.

[DUShock]

That will leave a mark.

[shocks02]

Yeah this is hard to watch.

[SB Shock]

Dismantle the baseball program and give all the support to softball

[DUShock]

Oofdah!

[1972Shocker]

Shocker hitters really competed in the 9th as well going all Ku Klux Klan. KKK.

Payton Tolle ERA over the first 6 innings = 1.50
5 Shocker Relievers ERA in the 7th & 8th = 36.00 combined.

LaTech is a good team but the Shocks game them a gift win today.

[DUShock]

Just keep fighting and win tomorrow to prevent the sweep. Go Shox!

FIFY.

There are enough arms to audition from that we will find something serviceable but experimenting against #15 on the road is a tough way to find them. Our offense seems improved, approach at the plate way better and defense solid. Starting pitching remains to be seen, but additions should help.

[Shockm]

Whatever anyone says, this was a give away W. We should have won it. Wedge will use it for good in the end.

I will add that most of the last decade plus, a game like last night against a team like La Tech would mean a 9-1 type loss today for the Shocks. While I certainly have my concerns (with plenty of history to validate those concerns), I don't believe that's how this program responds now.

I could not have been more ****ing wrong. My bad.

My apologies for wasting people’s time.

I am not quite ready to write off this team or this program after only 2 games. Today's finish was very difficult to take for sure.

Payton Tolle gave us about as good as you good expect in his first start. The bullpen totally imploded.

Jace was not as good as we hoped he would be yesterday but I suspect he will give us his share of quality starts.

On offense the Shocks still strike out too much for my tastes with 25 K's in 2 games. 5 of those are from Jack Sigrist our lead off hitter. Is his injury affecting him at the plate? Chuck Ingram is next with 4 K's. 11 of the 25 K's came from guys hitting 1-2-3 in the order. Not exactly setting the table. I can't believe that will not improve.

We may miss Corrigan Bartlett, Paxton Wallace and Hunter Gibson this year more than we thought we would.

It's along season. Let's see what happens tomorrow and beyond.

One thing is for certain: Wedgie will be glad to hurt someone’s feeling if need be.

Actually don’t beat yourself up. We, outside of a handful of players, did respond okay. Unfortunately most of those players played the same position.

I’m giving Pelfrey some time but the returns so far do not indicate that he is making much difference.
