WSU vs. SIU, MVC Tournament Game Thread 12:30 CST

The Shocks don't have a lot of power but we sure have a lot of guys that like to take home run swings.

Maybe Micah can run into one here.

[1972Shocker]

Not sure what Forsythe's pitch count is but it can't be too high. I think the Shocks will have to beat him because I don't see SIU going to the pen in this game.

[1972Shocker]

Hmmm, squaring a pitch up and going the other way when you're not a power hitter. What a concept.

[1972Shocker]

Albert hasn't been particularly sharp but he has hung tough and made the pitches when he needed to.

Minnis wiggles out of another one, 3-1 to B8.

At least a little fight would be nice.

The 8th is their inning.

[ShockerFever]

I've never seen a more worse approach at the plate than what this team does.

And now another garbage loss to a terrible SIU team in the first game.

Let's wrap up this season and staff, folks.

The 8th is their inning.

Whose inning was that, dizzle?

So far the bottom of the SIU order has been a killer, and the top of WSU's order has been a killer. Charley Boyce lives!

Just watched my first inning of the season only to see us getting beat in the first round of the tourney. How the mighty have fallen.

[Rosewood]

How embarrassing

[Cdizzle]

pitiful.

And so ends the Gene Stephenson era. We will get rolled tomorrow by CU and it will be done. Who could have ever imagined back in the day that the great lion would go out with a wimper. Sad times for wsu baseball.

The simple fact that Cody Foresyth (who is a very nice pitcher by the way, but hardly All-America) has shut the Shockers down for 4 years, with seemingly no meaningful adjustments made, is an excruciatingly painful example for why it's time to go in a different direction.

It's obscene for any team to be that bad, that many times in a row, against a slightly above average opponent.
