SHOX VS ORU

[JaminShock]

Time for Lowell to move over to the unused/Tabor only category.

Relax- if he puts up a few zeros in a row, all will be well.

3 straight K's.

For a team trying to get its swagger back, giving up 4 in the 1st off 1 hit and a crapload of walks and hit batters to a struggling team is just plain bad.

Agreed SF, but when it goes from 'just plain bad' to 'Lowell needs to be an unused/Tabor guy,' you lose me. I'm all for calling it like it is, but don't make it worse than it is.

Baez doubles & Harbutz singles so runners on 1st & 3rd with 1 out.

As long as Lowell settles down in his groove we will be fine. Still lots of baseball left to be played.

Sorry, his numbers are showing otherwise.

[ShockerFever]

Runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs and what do we get? Back-to-back K's.

This team is reverting back to 09 so quickly it really isn't even funny.

He has struggled with command since mid last year. Nothing really shocking here.

[twister17e]

That was horrible execution! Not only did WSU have back to back k's with a runner on 3rd, but both strike outs were looking .

I guess if you sit a guy who was a freshman all-american last year because he has a couple bad starts...

In a related note, he's struck out 6 of the last 7.

Edit- 7 of 8.

That's great that he's coming back.

Unfortunately, the damage has already been done. Hopefully it's damage that can get cleaned up in time.

Nice Shocker defense yet again.

Way ta go Baez.

[GoShockers89]

I feel a 7th inning rally coming...

...but before we get to that, time for the Mow 'em Down Inning jinx.

[ShockerFever]

I'm taking a break of following this team for a while.

It's the same old, same old. ORU allows like 35 runs in 3 games last weekend and just like we are, we score 1 in 7 innings, all while we just hand-gift runs to the opposition.

I was gonna try to see a Bradley game this weekend, but eh, I'm not feelin' it.

You guys have fun.
