Don't bother reading past the first post, it's a full meltdown. At least we made it to May this year. See you all in 2024....

How many times have we seen this in reverse against Wsu (mainly basketball) - the ECU series was their World Series. They have checked out and ready to get the season over so they can get summer started or get to the draft.Originally posted by ShockerFever View PostComment

I'm not trying to make excuses, and I fully admit I may be wrong in my assessment, but I believe this team, coaches and players alike, are the victims of their own expectations (both real and assumed), especially after the ECU series.
I'm not saying it's the only thing, or that they are immune from criticism, but this is not the self centered teams that Butler led.Comment

When you start thinking you are actually good enough you don't have to work as hard, trouble follows.
Got a strong feeling that what this group started thinking after the ECU sweep.
And to that thought, they have basically been sticking up the field ever since.
The competition never rests (or let up) and once you do, they will pounce on you at every opportunity.
That is all.Above all, make the right call.Comment

Man, that home run Payton Tolle hit in the 4th was an absolute no doubter if there ever was one. To quote Shane Deninis: "Have Mercy!"
That's probably the end of the don't hit Payton when he is pitching experiment.Comment

Tolle did take a pretty scary looking tumble when the first baseman undercut him on a bang-bang play at first to end the 8th inning.
Brock with a big game in the Shocks 9-2 game 1 win. 4-5 with 2 doubles and home run and 4 runs batted in.Comment

Apparently Tolle is no worse for the wear from his 8th inning tumble as he unloads another nuclear blast to right to put the Shocks up 2-0 in the bottom of the 1st of the series finale. Only question on this one is would it stay fair.

Shocks blow Game 2 open with 7 runs in the bottom of the 4th on 7 hits including a David Herring home run, a walk, a hit batter, 2 stolen bases plus a USF throwing error that allowed a run to score as the Shocks take a 10-0 lead.
The Shocks tack on an unearned run in the 5th to make 11-0.
A 2 out double and a single by USF's dynamic freshman due Snow and Betancourt plates a run for USF in the top of the 6th which Shocker freshman Jack Little promptly reclaimed with a home run to center in the bottom of the 6th.
The Shocks head into the 7th leading 12-1 with a chance close out the game.
Grant Adler, who is pitching on short rest, is back out for the 7th.
After going to full count and then giving up a lead off single to the USF lead off htter Grant's day is done. Nate Snead is on in relief.
Great job on short rest by Grant. I did not realize that Grant is leading the AAC in ERA.
Nate closes it out the the Shocks finish off their day of revenge with a 12-1 run rule win.Last edited by 1972Shocker; May 13, 2023, 09:13 PM.Comment

Holy moly, Tolle strikes again. He'll fill out an MLB uniform quite nicely. Daaaang.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

We missed sweeping USF by one point. And the two games we did win, we crushed them. I don't see any indication that this team has checked out.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

they should have just kicked the extra point and went to overtime instead of going for two.Originally posted by Kung Wu View Post
