Oh and in case no one noticed:

The key here will be relief pitching.

Is it really necessary to be negative all the time?

The series is even. One more game tomorrow. Good luck! Go Shox!

What positive spin do you wanna put on blowing a 4-2 lead in the 9th?


I've made plenty of positive comments in this thread, probably too many. Please save your first 5 posts for something more meaningful.

i would have 5000 posts too if I felt the need to repeat myself 5 times in one thread.

I believe every poster here acknowledges that relief problem. No need for reminding us. ;-)

Fever can be a pain in the butt, 25, but if you want to complain get after him for gloating about being right, not about being negative. He was right as rain today -- what was negative was the Shocks' ninth inning bullpen work, mostly for lack of a one-inning closer. Well, that and their hitting with men on. I think Pepperdine was better with two out than the Shocks were with none. That was certainly the case in that debacle of a ninth inning.

You nailed me. That's exactly why I do what I do. I'm always thinking about the infamous 'post count'..

Nice contributions.

Don't get me wrong. I fully realize that our bullpen needs help. However I hate grouping the entire bullpen together. Grant Muncrief has been doing a very good job. I understand we have a long way to go, but they will improve as the season goes on and they gain experience. A little faith from some "fans" would be nice sometimes.
