Cowboys @ BYU

[Chairman of the Board]

This has the feel of "one of those" games. BYU's pitcher has a fastball and a curveball and we are mystified.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Zane Burns relieves Rhodes, who did more than enough to help us win

Infield single to 3B
4-6-3 DP, (on 3-1 pitch, whew)
Double to CF
Double to RF, RBI
--don't worry, in comes Drew Blake
Pop out to SS on 1st pitch

3-2 OSU despite being outhit 8-3

It’s hard for me to blame the new pitching coach when he inherited a mediocre staff. While we do have some injuries, which is unfortunate. There’s several pitchers we needed to get rid of and let him get some of his guys

T8
Thompson K's looking
Meola K's swinging. He got a fastball down the middle on 2-1 and just watched it go by.
Ritchie GAP BAND down LF line
Smithwick grounds out to 1B

4-2 OSU

 

[Poke Skywalker]

It’s like the team and the coaches don’t know their own team, and the numerous bullpen struggles. With a 3-1 lead they go up there with careless, lazy swings like you’re up 10 runs rather than an urgency to scratch out a couple more runs. They consistently put themselves in position for failure.

 

[Poke Skywalker]

Guy is 3-5 with a 7.77 ERA and we’re making him look like Paul Skenes.

But finally Ritchie puts one over the wall! 4-2

I think it's the only way they know.

It’s “the approach” they are taught.

 

[Poke Skywalker]

So much free baseball from Wech. I see a grand slam coming. Or walking in a run.

 

[NorthPoke]

wow

 

[JRod]

So much free baseball from Wech. I see a grand slam coming. Or walking in a run.

To be fair, there were a few that were really close that were called balls. He was getting squeezed a bit.

Norman flies out to LF
Conover grounds out to 3B

[JRod]

If you blinked, you missed the top of the 9th where we offered zero challenge

Strikeout swinging
Hit batter on 2-2 count
RBI double to LF corner, really athletic play by Conover there

We’re literally limping to the finish line..question is can we get there?

I'm kind of doubtful

 

[Poke Skywalker]

2nd HBP in as many innings. And of course it turns costly.

 

[Poke Skywalker]

Wech is erratic. Not ideal for your closer.

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

I'm kind of doubtful

Damn…dead center!!! That was his first HR of the season and of course it’s a walk off!! That might be the back breaker for this team!! Ritchie the only hitter that showed up this weekend
