[SB Shock]

Doesn't the guy we are facing have a 9.00 era?

Yeah. He's not very good to at least this point in the season. Shox according to Kennedy are being aggressive and it is not working out to well. Seem to be hitting Pinders pitch and not their own.

Pinder WHIP is 1.98 and teams are batting 0.375.

[SB Shock]

McKeever continue to hit below par and flies out. McKeever average drops to 0.283.

Going to bottom of 2nd

[KC Shox]

Lets be real fellas. Our hitting has improved from last season, but it was against easy teams. We finally face a respectable Long Beach squad and a reality check is in order.

Also, a trend of past seasons, we always make guys with high ERA's look like Cy Young pitchers. It never fails.

This loss is going to plain suck in terms of future ratings. We need to dominate our non-conference schedule as our MVC opponents won't do anything for the RPI.
