Cowboys @ UCF (Big XII Opener)

[David Lee Roth]

Josh is 50/50 fired if we don’t even make a regional this year. But if he makes a regional this year we are stuck with him next season.

Next season if he doesn’t make a super he will be gone. His tenure is winding down unless postseason success starts happening.

Enough is enough.

Josh said on the post game radio interview the game for tomorrow has been moved up to 10 central.

Stormy Rhodes on the mound! Might have a puncher’s chance

 

[Chairman of the Board]

UCF is also down a starter. Starting a guy who pitched midweek. Hasn't seemed to bother them

T1
Thompson walks and steals 2nd but the Pokes do their thing and K twice and ground out

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Stormy throwing strikes..what a concept!! When Barrett returns I’m good with sending pesca to the bullpen

 

[Chairman of the Board]

T2

Bases FOC 1 out for Bowen

RBI groundout makes it 1-0

Conover grounds out to end the inning

 

[Chairman of the Board]

B2
Stormy sits them down quickly

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Looking at UCF lineup…mass majority of the hitters are seniors. Out of their 22 hits, 18 singles, 3 doubles and the HR. Bunch of veterans that put the ball in play.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

T3
Thompson,
Ritchie, Meola down quickly

 

[Chairman of the Board]

1-0 mid 4

 

[Chairman of the Board]

T5
Gap Band for Wentworth and its 2-0

infield singles from Bowen and Conover out nobody out

Thompson grounds into FC, runner out at 2nd

Ritchie pops out to 3B, 1 for 11 this weekend

Meola Ks looking. Hasn't been a strike all day.

2, 3, and 4 fail to get it done

 

[JRod]

We are remarkably bad at bunting. Pretty sure we foul bunts about 97% of the time we try

I'll never understand why we try. If we're not a small ball team, don't try to be one

Right. The bunt is designed to give up an out and move the base runners. We just give up the out with nothing in return most of the time

 

[JRod]

Guy on third with one out. Ritchie and Meola coming up to bat. Somehow we don’t get it done. Hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite us.

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Ritchie and Meola need to be better there

Ritchie and Meola need to be better there

Understatement. Unfortunately they are not taught there’s a time for a HR swing and a time to just make solid contact. Consequently we swing from the heels all the time and either strike out or pop up.

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Just like that, we’re tied!! That’s why last inning was important

 

[Chairman of the Board]

from 2 outs and the bases clear, to 2-2 on an infield single and a HR
