Too many gifts.
Not that it made any difference in the final score but did Luke Ritter fail to get a sac bunt down in the 9th with runners on 1st and 2nd and not outs and the Shocks down by 2 or did they even attempt the sacrifice?Comment

Pulled back a bunt for strike one and fouled off a bunt for strike two.Originally posted by 1972Shocker View Post78-65Comment

He did 'attempt' to get the bunt down, if you can call it that. Pretty sure they then pinch hit with Young after that. A combination of things that pretty well sums up the competence of this coaching staff.Originally posted by 1972Shocker View PostComment

Frankly, he looked like he had never tried it before. In any situation.Originally posted by WuShock16 View PostComment

I don't spend much time reading the Wichita Eagle online but happened to pull up the site today and noticed the only mention of last night's baseball game located under the Kansas State section of the Sports page? I kind of expected to find it under Wichita State?Comment

The Eagle is out of KC now. They don't care about WSU.Originally posted by shockfan89_ View PostComment

The game being in Manhattan was covered by Kellis Robinett the Eagle's KSU beat writer. I would expect the KSU game on May 16th in Wichita will be covered by Paul Suellentrop and will be indexed under Wichita State. I didn't think it was a big deal.Originally posted by shockfan89_ View PostComment

Not a big deal, but since it was a Wichita State game and the Wichita newspaper, it is kind of logical to click on Wichita State in the Sports section to find the story of the game, not Kansas State. Probably just my lack of experience navigating the Wichita Eagle website, but how many people would know the game was covered by the Eagle's KSU beat writer?Originally posted by 1972Shocker View PostComment

Once you get past men's basketball and football coverage of other college sports can get a bit spotty. Especially for away games. Pretty common for softball games, for example to not even be mentioned. A lot depends on whether they need something to fill space and those reports are often made by a staff reporter.Originally posted by shockfan89_ View Post
If this had been a men's basketball game between WSU and KSU we probaby would have had two articles by Sully and two by Robinett plus an opinion column.
They are looking to provide what they think the greatest number of subscribers will be interested in. They can see the crowds, or lack thereof, at Eck Stadium as well as anyone.
Who knows maybe WSU has suggested it might be okay if the Eagle didn't bring too much attention to the baseball program right now.Last edited by 1972Shocker; May 3, 2017, 10:59 PM.Comment
