OSU vs Texas State

[Chairman of the Board]

No Tv for this game, so it's Rex and the Chief.

Texas St is 3-0, sweeping Binghamton

OSU practiced at DBU's field yesterday, I'm sure a lot of fielding.

Youngerman gets the start, JR RHP. Had a brief appearance on Friday.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Texas St went 27-29 last year, and has an entirely new roster, picked 8th in the Sun Belt.

"Very disappointing series of events on Sunday. We didn't get two calls, and we followed it up with two bad plays.

I liked that we didn't pack it in. Some other teams did this weekend."

Expect Drew Blake after Youngerman

Thompson robbed of a hit at 1B, runners move up
Smith grounds out to 2B

I wonder what the percentage is of us scoring after getting a lead off double over the last few seasons.

 

[Edmondcowboy]

Lasalle at bat killed inning. Needed a productive out. Not sure why they took the bunt off with one strike.

0 for 7 with RISP

 

[Edmondcowboy]

6 of 13 outs via k.

Edit: 7 of 14
Edit: 8 of 15

Jones can’t hit behind Schubart. Schubart will never get a pitch to hit.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

That's 6 K in 5.1 IP so far. I think we can safely conclude this: of course they aren't taught to strike out, BUT, the approach that they are taught leads to an excessive amount of strikeouts, against Texas State. I know that's not breaking news. But again, the staff must not see it as a problem because it never changes.

Definitely a trend over years not just within a game. Is it a reflection of players today, or coaching, or both?
