Strike zone suddenly getting bigger....

[Cdizzle]

A LOT bigger. After being a teacup the first couple innings.

Ok, not sure whats going on here, but I think I could do without the 2B/SS “bro hug” between innings. Fellas, this is baseball. High fives, fist bumps, etc., ok.

Bro hug after the game, that’s ok. During? Hmmm.

Alright .. come on .. 9th inning rally

baserunning mistake to start isn't a good way to get a rally going

[WstateU]

Huge call here…

Would be nice if they would show reviews on the stream.... He looked out live

Ballgame!

What took them so long to confirm the on-field call?

There have been 0 replays of any sort all weekend.

I can see both sides of going for 2nd there. Don't super love it with nobody out.

I'm not convinced they even have video to look at over there given the video game production.

Rough loss. A couple overly aggressive baserunning errors and an error or two in the field really cost them. Overall though, I think its a positive weekend. With so many new pieces and getting 2 dominant wins plus a close loss ... its still a road series win which most probably would have been happy with going into the weekend.

Compared to basketball season, the Fyre Festival would be considered a success.

The Shocks had more than their fair share of chances but could not capitalize. A couple of just misses cost them as did the one error made buy Brayden Luikart in left.

Pitching was kind of a mixed bag tonight. Geraghty and Holmes were pretty good in their short stints.

Coming back down to earth might not be all that bad. A littdole se of reality will allow the coaches to have the teams attention heading into the games with Virginia, Auburn and Iowa next weekend.

There were certainly some good things to build on this weekend together with some lessons to learn.
