Shox vs. Sycamores, Game 1

[Ta town]

It's sooooo douchebaggy MVC-ISU to be in the top 10 in the country in HBP.

To me if you are poking out elbows, etc then yes it's big time DB. However if you are simply willing to not get out of the way more power to ya.

Dumbest baserunning team in America. By that fact alone, we shouldn't be an NCAA team.

This.

Where the hell do these guys think they're going? Far too many chances taken on the bases. You have to know the situation.

--'85.

Any 1 run wins.....NO chance we sacrifice Green to 2nd there? NONE?

The stupidity knows NO bounds in our dugout.

[WuDrWu]

Ugh....just ugh. How many times have we been shut out this year?

Answer....more than the first 25 years of the program, combined.

Leadoff hit by Green.. WASTED. Why do I get the feeling Josh Smith's outstanding performance will go WASTED tonight by a team that's hitting .190 in their last 8 games?

[WuDrWu]

I'd bet a large amount of money we lose 1-0 right here.....and on something really dumb.

I'm not in the dugout, and I hate the sacrifice more than Gene does, but even so -- if this isn't the time to do it, I'm not sure when is. And a big +1 to the complaints about baserunning -- I can't remember a Shocker team that did such a poor job.

No take here. You can almost script how this is going to go down.

[WuDrWu]

Indiana State and their $7.25 budget is effing smart enough to sacrifice a guy over needing 1 to win.

They haven't gotten the ball past the pitcher, and we're all but dead in the water.

[Shocker85]

Nice wide strike. Going to the 10th.

[GoShockers89]

This is just astounding ineptitude on offense. By both teams.

Can't believe we still have a chance to win this.

[ShockerFever]

Delaying the inevitable?

[WuDrWu]

Major tip of the cap to Foster for getting out of that mess. Pretty sure it's going to take one team kicking it to let the other incompetent team score. This will be about who loses, not who wins.

I'm watching the S Carolina - Arkansas game. It's 6-3 Arkansas in the 4th inning. Arkansas gets a runner on to start the inning. Gets what comes next???? A sac bunt. I'm willing to bet that these two teams can swing the bat a bit, but yet they seem to know the importance of one run.

I've watched one inning total and I've seen more small ball called and executed than I can remember from a recent Shocker team. I guess thats why these teams are ranked 3 and 13 in the country. Not only do they have great talent, but they have a real coaching staff.

[ShockerFever]

Our bats are encouraging.
