I wonder when the last time we gave up 3 HR's in a game was.

Ummm... 2 nights ago. UH had 4.

2 more HBP in the 6th. Bases loaded. 1 out. 9-1.

I turned that game off when it was 8-1.. Sorry

The night's not a total loss. USM just gave up the winning run on a bases loaded wild pitch to fall 6-5 to FIU. Let's savor that.

I remember the old days when the end of school would send the baseball team on a winning tear. Not so much the past few years ....

Eh....Marshall is just as much of a problem for you guys.

Those guys are rolling. They are at home. And we just used up our two most capable relievers tonight.

Seriously. Marshall may win the freaking BASEBALL championship.

I'm going to my underground shelter that I built for the apocalypse. Someone let me know when this is over.

FAU just scored one in the bottom of the 12th to beat WKU 4-3. Things are tightening up and I don't just mean standings.

4 routs in 5 games (not counting the canceled game)? Day-um!

Well, at least some of these other guys are getting some mound experience, so there's that...

Marshall has a solid chance to win or tie for the season conference championship but look for crazy to happen at any time.

When is the first home football game again? Guess we'll have to wait for the confirmation as to whether we get spanked by Baylor on a Friday or a Saturday.

Call me when we win a game in a super regional.

When was the last time we gave up 46 runs in three games? I'm guessing never.

What's most distressing is that pitching has been our strength. Several posters over the last week have expressed some concern over recent performance of the team, only to be belittled. Why be Chicken Little. It is only a game or two. No, it is starting to be a trend.

I am a WG fan and not a DB fan. But as I call out the football team when it plays poorly, fairness demands pointing out the failures of the baseball team.

Where have you gone Rice baseball,
Rice fans turn their lonely eyes to you,
What's that you say Joe Savery,
Rice baseball has left and gone away, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

There is a very real possibility, in fact I would say a certainty if the team does not exit its funk, that we will end up fourth in the conference.

Tech didn't even use up any of their closers last night

Possible finishing behind a team that doesn't even have a baseball stadium... I think it's pretty clear that our edge in baseball is gone. We've discussed the recruiting issues at length on here and I think everyone agrees that something needs to be done. JP mentioned that last weekend was our first loss to FAU ever. He also mentioned before the game last night that we were 17-2? all time against LaTech who clubbed our ace pitcher last night with what is basically a JUCO team. We are still one of the best baseball programs in the country, but we aren't going to stay that way long if we continue this trend.

And 20 BB and 12 HBP.

No need to give up hope just yet. The standings show four teams one half game apart with two games to go. Baseball is a fickle game.
