Any way possible that delays cause the game to start around 10:30pm Saturday?

[Hill Sitter]

Whew. Win and advance.

Can we quit making errors? Coy should have picked up those throws; lots of previous WSU first basemen have been able to pick up throws in the "dirt" or off a bounce. I'm really disappointed in Coy's play at first.

Our first baseman is 6'7", and none of our infielders can throw it not in the dirt. I dare them to throw it over him.

Coy's also a converted 1st baseman. There is a special art to playing a great 1st base.

So? Most of the bad throws he missed bounced up high enough that his height did not matter. Later he caught a throw at his shoetops without any trouble. We have "turf" so weird bounces should not occur and I don't think any weird bounces did occur.

Then Coy should not play first on Saturday if he isn't ready to do the job; let a "real first baseman" play in the MVC title game.

WSU 3, UE 2 - Aces score another run on a throwing error, after a throwing error messed up a double play. Both Aces runs have scored on balls that bounced past Coy. None of them were great throws. Two of them were running plays by the fielder, which makes the throws more difficult. It’s hard to tell if Coy should be making those plays from here. He’s been pretty good stretching for throws lately. But those look like plays that a more experienced first baseman might make. I do know Coy is 6-8 and it’s better to throw high than low where he is concerned.

"But those look like plays that a more experienced first baseman might make."



Also: "Four errors for WSU. The Aces have scored four of their runs without the ball leaving the infield."

Coy should have at least put some leather on the throws. However, all of em were very bad and our infielders, if anything, should be throwing them over his head, not in the dirt. Really bad and it's a good thing those didn't come back to bite us.

Hoch seemed like he wanted tense situations. The double play almost made him mad and he had to promptly give the next two guys free passes before Walker Davidson saved the day.

Decent hitting. But more importantly for this time of the year.. survive and advance.

10:40pm start time and a pretty decent crowd considering. Game ends at around 1:45am and getting ready for bed at 2:45am. Then back up by 8 for work. Gotta love Shocker baseball.

Not bad for a "bandwagon" fan..

We noticed that too...we were sitting there on the hill and I looked at my watch and noticed it was actually 1:15. Wonder if they planned that?
