Another K!

2 down.. one to go...

Proctor gets 2nd out with a major-league effort.

W

Owls win! 1-2-3 inning, and Myers completes the save!

Certainly not overwhelming, but Owls WIN!!!!

Nice win over a historically pesky Sam team

wasn't pretty, but our win streak continues

A bit of an adventure. But good midweek win.

No errors, Rice never trailed, some really good defense.

You can't play your best game everytme out, but I like the growing will to win of this team.

Thanks to the many gifts of the SHS defense. The ball must have been wet. We were there. Kind of soggy.

Dane is the man-- second consecutive strong outing on the mound. Shaky pitching tonight (with SHS helping us out by running themselves out of a couple innings), and our offense was gifted most of it's runs, but another errorless game (with a couple excellent defensive plays)....and a win is a win, especially when it bumps our win streak to 6 games. (BTW, the Aggies beat UH tonight to win their 25th consecutive mid-week game, dating back over 3 years....and they're already tweeting trash talk, saying "they'll see you Nice Owls in 7 days".)

Game Ball #1: Dane Myers (1-3, BB, 2 runs; Save #2, 2.1 IP, 0 hits, 0 runs, 2 HBP, 4 Ks)-- for closing this one out for us. Nails in the 9th against their best hitters.

Game Ball #2: Connor Teykl (3-4) who continues to break out of his slump, hitting the ball hard each and every at bat.

Game Ball #3: I could have given it to Dom DiCaprio (2-3, 2 RBIs), but I'm giving it to Willy Salinas (W, 2-1, 5.0 IP, 7 hits, 2 runs, 0 BBs, 5 Ks) for his houdini act inning after inning.

Certainly not our best game offensively or on the mound, but we took advantage of opportunities, and had the poise to get out of jam after jam. Now it's time to get payback on Middle Tennessee, who took 2 of 3 from us the last time we ventured up to Murfreesboro. MTSU (12-13, 7-6 home) are reeling a bit, having lost 4 straight and 6 of their last 8. Of course, they've played some elite teams during that stretch: FAU x 3, Vandy, WKU x 3 and Tennessee. We need to pounce on them early, and take away any possible sense of confidence. Let's keep streaking into our Aggie matchup next Tuesday, and then put an end to their absurd mid-week streak. Go Owls!

Why?

Because the coaching staff doesn't trust any other relievers. Surely a minor elbow issue shouldn't sideline somebody for more an a week.

I see Jackson around on campus - certainly not anything major (i.e. no TJ, but not minor either)...I'm pretty sure he's doing some therapy stuff on it and may be back late in the year.

JP mentioned that Tristan was taking BP today, and appears that he might be ahead of schedule for a potential return.

I'm not sure the board makes money. I think all of the idiocy and stupidity here is done pro-bono.

I don't get some of the decisions but that is just me. Every year we set ourselves up to fail in the regional. The use of our bullpen staff is suspect at best. It isn't that they have no talent but are used in a way it is impossible for anyone to be successful on a consistent basis. Also we focus on the wrong attributes and ignore the stats. Just my humble opinion. I will know go back to watching completely perplexed. At some point the game passes you by.

Coaches should not let personal feelings towards players influence their use or lack of. Funny when people can't defend their actions they default to personal attacks.
