ORU vs. WSU

[SekShocker]

I'm as frustrated as anyone, but to think that we should stop going to games or supporting this team, and not thinking of ourselves as a national program is crazy to me. We struggled in midweek last year and some the year before and we were 2 wins from the CWS last year and have been in regional championships for the last few years, I know we lost a few when we only had to win one on the last day, but at least we were there, and nobody knows for sure that we won't still do something good this year. With our top 3 starters if we can get any kiind of offense I like our chances against most teams. So I'm not ready to stop "throwing my money" at this team this year or for many years to come.

I left in the 5th (thankfully) because there's just no fire in the team right now ... you can just tell they're they're not bouncing around, not having fun out there.

I don't know what the answer is.

Our starters might be good enough to get us deep into a regional again. But no way we win one the way things are with this team right now. We have to find some sort of spark this weekend and in the Valley tourney or this is gonna be an ugly finish.

That story has nothing to do with how this team is playing. Why can't any of you understand that this team was/is overrated. 23 of the 35 D1 wins or 26 of the 38 wins are against teams with RPI's over 100. The Shox benefitted from playing crappy ass teams and just are an average ball club. Their schedule made them appear to be a great team.

This team is worse than the 2001 team that failed to make it to the NCAA Regionals. At least with that team we had victories over Nebraska, Arkansas, and Long Beach. However, it will be very ironic that we make the Regionals with this crap team when that 2001 team did not. Although going 0-2 in the MVC Tourney that year sealed their demise IMO.

Next year's team will be worse than this years so we might as well get used to this futility that is being displayed on the field.

game off. back to music and beer and orukpe

Errors, poor pitching, all of the stuff that was uncharacteristic of Shocker baseball has surfaced more than ever since that story broke. Things that boil down to lack of concentration and focus. Remember, this was an Oral Roberts team we beat earlier this year.

We beat them 10-8 and made 2 errors not like we were nails on d and pitching that night, just got more offense. All we heard about when we were winning was how close this team was and how they loved playing together, were is that now? If they have that great chemistry than to me they would band together and not let the story effect them and they would play for each other and avoid that distraction. College kids deal with plenty of distractions.

I'm jealous of the hitters, pitchers and interested ballplayers that Oral Roberts and Central Arkansas have. We should be more like them.

[tripleshock]

Uh.... chemistry is pretty easy to come by when you're playing Harvard and ND State.

Nobody really believed that, did they?

[shockerfanmas]

wow, I'm glad I didn't go to this game tonight. In fact, I was thinking about getting tickets for the conference tournament, but I think I'll pass. Let's be honest, this team flat out sucks right now, and they may back door their way into a regional undeservingly. If the NCAA committee looks at how they finish, then this team will be home for good after the MVC tournament. Right now I'm not even sure they can take the Valley.

How in the world can some of you completely dismiss the possible impact of the stalking story?

That is nuts to say with certainty it has no impact.

I would guess most posting on this board played baseball at some point or have kids that play softball or baseball.

We know that baseball involves the mind more than any other physical sport.

[SekShocker]

I guess I was weird, because when I played the field was the one place where I forgot about what was going on outside the field and just concentrated fully on the game that day, and I would think these guys playing at the level they are playing could leave that off the field. I miss playing and alot is for that reason, I could take 2-3 hours and not have to think about what was going on in "real life".
