Classic Bruce Haertl for you ...
From Sports Daily, April 8, 2015 ... (Taken from the final summation of a convoluted, rambling segment)
"If this team can get healthy, especially in the pitching staff -- they're off to a good start in the conference and I'll leave you to judge how important that is -- I still think this team's got some potential.
I’m not ready to jettison this group yet. They look like there's some pieces to the puzzle. And for whatever reason it just hasn't come to fruition. So Todd Butler and Brent Kemnitz and the gang have plenty of work to do and they're doing it. No question."
From KWCH blog "For What It's Worth," April 8, 2015 ...
"I wish I could be as optimistic about Shocker baseball, but 13-19 is what it is—tough schedule and injuries aside, it hasn’t been a very good baseball team. What’s worse is that the Shockers are just 1-10 in their non-conference marquee games.
That they’re off to a 5-1 start in the Valley has more to do with who they’ve played than it does how they’ve played. I know that when you have 22 new names on the roster good chemistry can be hard to come by. There appears to be talent, it just hasn’t gotten any traction---with nearly two months left in the season there’s still time to rally, but there haven’t been a lot of signs of a turnaround.
