Another Bullpen Collapse In The Ninth
Any relievers who pitched in the ninth inning in the last two games should be looking for somewhere else to play! I would be ready to take drastic action with these guys. They don't have what it takes to play at this level.

It was pretty bad. Couldn't throw a strike, so they had to groove fastballs, which is just a terrible idea. We weren't exactly throwing the top of our staff today, so in general it was a pretty ugly game.

RE: Another Bullpen Collapse In The Ninth
I swear I don't see how this team finished third with this pitching staff. We can hit the ball. ASU's pitching must not be much better, but they got 18 hits today and we got 17. 35 hits between the two, and 26 runs. Yesterday and believe there was 36 hits and 22 runs. Definitely no pitching on either side. I believe we have 15 pitchers on the staff, and I don't know how many are seniors. I agree with Peter, I'd clean house with that entire pitching staff.
Tell me how we won the series with Louisiana Lafayette, and looked like Ned in the first reader against the eight place Injuns, now called the Woofs. Curry has done a good job overall, and I love his attitude and enthusiasm, but definitely needs some help with recruiting pitchers. Very good chance we'll end up below .500 overall. Evidently the Sun Belt isn't as good this year.

If it means anything, we used basically the same pitchers who we threw against Ole Miss Tuesday in another "meaningless" game. They only scored 6, and 3 of those came off errors in the 9th inning.
Our pitching has talent, but it's very young. We also pitch towards our park where home runs are nearly impossible tasks, and fly ball are almost always outs. You guys were an awful matchup for us on that side.
