WSU at ORU (Feb 28), vs ORU (Apr 17)

[ShockerExpress]

Whew!!

[WstateU]

I was worried about the pitching change, but Green…

Shocks did just enough to get it done thanks mostly to Tyler Dobbs' work on the mound.

I'm buying Johnson and Johnson stock.

A win is a win. A win over ORU certainly can't be taken for granted.

ORU was in CWS last year and they certainly play like a well coached and sound club. I know they’ve gotten out to an uneven start, but hopefully that’s a decent win later. If such things matter..

[Kung Wu]

A little late, but still worth it ...

Not the ORU team of last year but who cares.

I imagine we have been bent over by a worse ORU team in the past decade.

I definitely had ‘BOHICA’ thoughts in the bottom of the 9th.

[WstateU]

Yikes!

Yep. 2 returning starters. 8 returning pitchers.

Me too!

Utah Tech is not good. Would love to see the Shox sweep a home series against a not good team. Too often that has not happened over the last 15 years. From there I feel like a great goal would be remaining at or above .500 at all points of the season.

I don't mind losing one early if thats what it takes to find our 3rd starter. Hopefully we find out 3rd starter and don't have to lose to a "not good" team though.

Bump for game #2 tomorrow

We'll get to see former Shocker David Herring and Shocker legend Terry Elliot's youngest son, Easton.

David is struggling massively at the plate, hitting .218 on the season. He is so much better than that. Easton plays sparingly.

ORU has fallen off the cliff. They are last in the Summit, and the Summit is bad. They did win 2 and tie the 3rd vs Northern Colorado but UNC is AWFUL and ORU is still behind them in conference. Their ERA is 6.61 and they aren't scoring runs. Obviously we can't lose this game.
