Gm 23 - vs Nebraska

[1972Shocker]

Need a couple of productive AB's here after Bayliff's lead off double.

[Cdizzle]

Nope. Strikeouts are better.

[1972Shocker]

Nevermind.

[Cdizzle]

Super fail.

[1972Shocker]

Drew Palmer, while he gave up 4 hits in 3 innings, did a good job of holding NU at bay although to this point the Shocks could not take advantage.

Now Vielock is going to make it even tougher.

[SB Shock]

Vielock in for the 9th - gives up 2 singles to start

[Cdizzle]

Same ole.

[SB Shock]

so why leave him in now?

Why play Koeiman in the last month? All good questions.

[Cdizzle]

Now that we've let them open up a lead, my bet is on the offense deciding to score a couple of runs in the 9th, too little, too late.

I don't know....maybe Butler is in over his head. Or maybe the veterans are not buying in (and he's playing Koeiman to make a point) and are just doing their own thing. I am just not seeing anything that gives me any hope for this program.

Shox trail 7-3, NU still batting.

This broken record has been playing for 6 years now. Shocker baseball was a national powerhouse, turned into a regional powerhouse, turned into the 3rd best program in the state and now is hanging on to be a Mo Valley powerhouse.

Glad we left Koeiman in there to pad his strikeout stats. Bottom of the 9th, a guy twice as likely to strikeout as get a hit still getting an AB just seems like lazy coaching.

[1972Shocker]

I think I would like to see what kind of impact, if any, HCTB's first recruiting class that will be coming in next year makes before I write him off. Looks like playing time will be widely available.

Not many options out there.

Wes Phillips 9 K in 23 AB
Zimmerman 5 k in 22 AB
Bobbitt 8 k's in 30 AB
Haddox 10 k's in 17 AB

This team is devoid of talent except for a couple players.
