WSU at LSU (Game 1)

[ShockerFever]

cdizzle, did you know that Troutwine made the Johnny Bench Watch List?

[SPEShockAlum]

Lang's wind up is odd. I wish I could tell you what he looks like from the stretch.

[Cdizzle]

I did. I hadn't found a proper thread to bring that mess up in yet. I guess there are like 81 names on the list right now, but I'd say that's still being generous.

WSU still on pace to average less than 2 Ks per inning, but the trend line isn't good.

5 K's on the shocker hitters through 3 innings and 4 of them looking

[SPEShockAlum]

Is Schwanke just lobbing it in there?

At this point, if they'd just go up with the plan to swing hard 3 times, we might at least luck in to a couple amid the strikeouts.

Should be the plan but you have to take the bat off your shoulder

[shocktheheart]

How much is Butler paying these announcers to say these things? Butler has them a year away to return to national prominence?

[ShockerFever]

This series is going to be downright embarrassing.

1-6 it is. Looks like 2-5 was too optimistic.

Translation: FAIL

[SPEShockAlum]

At least the DP is now intact.

Nevermimd

[Cdizzle]

The combination of a pitching staff that doesn't know where the ball is going and a catcher that literally can't catch is just painful.

Apparently last year was not enough evidence that it is not a winning combo.

[Cdizzle]

32 WSU strikeouts in the last 15.1 innings.

[SPEShockAlum]

Credit Young for trying to get something going. Solid play.

[shocktheheart]

Well at least we only struck out once that inning

[SPEShockAlum]

Schwanke pitching well.
