1-out hit erased on the basepaths. Same, same, same, same.

You are really starting this thread off on a positive note. .188 OBP for the lead off man? I bet most AL pitcher's have higher OBP playing in an NL park (I don't really know but was going for snarky).

I'd really like to get on board, but at some point they gotta give me SOMETHING to go on. Maybe they can get it started today. Clearly the provided stat is on a small sample size, and the result of the first inning is just how it goes sometimes, but it sure does seem to pile up when it never gets countered with a 4-spot and a Win.

[Cdizzle]

We scored! We scored!

Tinkham walked. Kihle tripled him in 2 outs later.

1-0 Shox!

[Cdizzle]

We scored again!! We got 2 hits in the same inning! This is amazing.

2-0 Shox!

Holy crap, 2 runs in the same inning.

3-0 Shox! Bases still loaded and their pitcher has completely lost control.

[Cdizzle]

Tewes is being pulled with some sort of injury situation. Not sure if it's just precautionary or not.

[Cdizzle]

Shox with an error. Shocking. It was by a pitcher, again, and it immediately led to a run.

3-2 Shox.

Also, pretty sure Tinkham's bat has to be in the lineup, but any team with a scouting report should be running with wild abandon.

[Cdizzle]

Aaaand on a 3rd-to-1st, the runner is picked but the runner breaks and scores, and they let the guy reach 2nd on the throw home. Awesome.

3-3.

WP the guy to 3rd. Serious implosion time.

[1972Shocker]

Keystone cops.

[Cdizzle]

Do we practice defense? Seems like that would be easier to do now that we have that shiny practice facility. Maybe some folks should spend some time in there in the off-season.

The Shox are playing their 11th game, and have yet to execute an error-less game.

[Play Angry]

In the off chance we pull this out, it would actually be a pretty solid win. CMU is 8-4 against Florida Gulf Coast, Stetson and Texas State.

Not a gauntlet of titans by any means but that is a good showing on the road.

[Cdizzle]

I will take any win at this point, solid or not.

[SB Shock]

not good that Tewes is out with possible injury

[Cdizzle]

Another error. This is getting embarrassing, and frankly, a little indicting.

Not holding runners on, and unable to throw them out. 5/6 SBs today.

Oh and another error. Fantastic.

We can't hit, we can't field, and we can sortof pitch sometimes unless something goes wrong, at which point we implode.
