A 7 pitch inning. This team is absolutely clueless at the plate.

17 K's vs midweek pitching from an average ORU team. That speaks for itself. And it appears not many other options as yet another year of mysterious injuries.

Nice 9th by Ferris

You're either recruiting players who are not talented enough to hit average D1 pitching or you're doing a bad job of teaching them how to do it. Either is a problem.

Josh has been recruiting body types, not ball players for some time.

3 solo HR's tonight
That’s a hat happens when the lineup is Swiss cheese.

Schubart ends the game with strikeout #19

Lol at Tom Holliday, "there must be some fatigue" as if this team doesn't normally strike out in massive amounts and boot the ball all over the yard.

Just destroyed the momentum you had from the Kstate series with that performance.

Will Josh do post game radio tonight? He hustled up real quick on Sunday to make sure and be available but seems to not quite have the same availability when they lose....

On Smith’s groundout in the 9th, if he hadn’t watched the ball until it passed the pitcher’s mound before he started running to first, the next batter’s home run probably would have been a two run shot.
Just an illustration of how this team does not do the basic, fundamental things to be average, let alone good. I would be very interested to hear if a coach even mentions it.

When the season ends, there’s at least 3 guys that need to be told they need to find a new place. LaSalle, Culberson and Jones are not D1 baseball players and unfortunately they are all starting due to the injuries.

Josh:
"we didn't play well enough in any element"
"that's not the ideal formula, the execution has to be there."
"there's no need to dive into why those things elude you from time to time, you have to correct it."
"too many mistakes, too many moments where the execution of the game wasn't there."
"ORU played better and they deserved to win."
Rex: "no time to dwell on it, now its off to Arizona"
"that's how its been almost since day one. The stress of always having to overcome things."
"this is what I signed up for. The adversity has sped up the growth for some of us, and exposed us where we have to get better."
Blah blah blah

Blah blah blah is right

If you ever talk to a former player, you will know exactly what I mean
Meola-ACL?
Ortiz-…?
Who else is hurt and what injuries. I really think these tanks Josh recruits try and bulk up like Matt Holliday to become specimens and their bodies cannot handle the daily stress and strains. Trying to pass the eye test for scouts and look MLB ready. Could be an explanation.
OSU baseball has not been a fun tough nosed program like it was. Guys like Roc and Donnie and Jordy haven’t existed in some time. The grinders, who cares how tall they are you just know they’re ball players and gonna make something happen. Maybe the staff needs a shake up?

One of my all-time favorites was a player that wasn’t 6’4”, didn’t hit a gazillion hr’s but could play any position on the field, steal a base when you needed it and a guy you wanted to make a clutch play or come up with a big hit. He was 5’9”, about 190 and hit the cover off the ball. I don’t think I ever saw him in a game where he wasn’t covered in dirt. A real grinder —Rusty McNamara. He was a ball player!
