Shox vs. Sycs Game 1

[Shocker85]

Odd starting times this weekend as Indiana State is in the eastern time zone. 5:30CDT, 1:00CDT, and 12:00CDT.

InSt has a good 21-9 overall record but is 3-3 in league play. Their schedule doesn't inspire anyone, though.

Cooper, Kelley, and Smith will start for WSU. All 3 InSt starters have 4.something ERAs.

The Shox are 5-9 on the road and batting .241 with an ERA of 7.96 in road games. Shox are 36-13 in Terre Haute all time.

Max Hutson is now the volunteer assistant with the Sycamores - he's from Terre Haute.

--'85.

Need to win..... BIG!

until Baez is sat down Gene is full of s***.

He doesn't play defense and he doesn't hit. He is a senior that will be gone soon. Davidson is a freshman, fields better than Baez. Not getting anything positive out of Baez then let Davidson play. Good lord!

Harbutz>Baez

Harbutz or Davidson

just seems to me Baez little bit of extra offense doesn't make up for his complete lack of range and error from time to time.

[GoShockers89]

Yep, Baez needs to ride some pine. I've never understood his swing...he tries to lift the ball as if he has tremendous power, yet routinely dies about fifteen short of the warning track.

They ought to institute a Willie 'Mays' Hayes rule for him and make him do twenty pushups every time he hits the ball in the air.

Sounds like we need to run every chance we get this weekend.Catcher has terrible stats against opposing base stealers.

[tru2thaduce]

Can anybody else hear the ISU broadcasters behind Dennis and Kennedy?

[tru2thaduce]

1 base runner and that was on a dropped third strike.

[ISASO]

19 innings without a run?

And we commit an error to give away the winning run (what will be the winning run anyway).

1-0 Sycamores

[SB Shock]

Interesting to hear that Gene used the word "embarrassing" after the nebraska game.

[Ashockalypse]

The nightmare continues.

[SB Shock]

Shox with bases loaded with 2 out and springer up.

[tru2thaduce]

At this point I really don't know what to say.
