UAB changes pitchers. James Naile takes the mound. LOL. Excellent! UAB has a Jesus and a Naile. If only they had a Carpenter, a Cross, or a Whyhaveyouforsakenme.

Um, ball game. 3-up, 3-down. Owls lose 10-9. Crap. I hate when Nicholls State wears their UAB uni's...

Seriously, a few more games like this and I'm gonna consider canceling my Omaha hotel reservations and my wholesale order for a thousand "HOO KNEW?? 2013 NCAA BASEBALL CHAMPIONS!!" t-shirts. I'm serious. I'm gonna consider canceling...

Time to head to WULL for game. Tough loss. I will learn to not multitask during games.

C'mon, man. It's like the Buddhists say: "Less checks, more glue."

Who knows. Maybe USM will Coug it. UH certainly imploded. Started the season looking like champs, and completely folded.

Quite possible. They haven't exactly played great on the road all year and their remaining conference schedule is all on the road.

However, we just need to worry about ourselves. I agreed with you that we needed a sweep. Now, we have to get these last 2 games whenever they are played. Looks like Saturday evening could be a possibility. Just depends on how fast UAB's field can dry.

You have got to be kidding me. If he was 0-2 would it be the right call? The outcomes of two at bats tells you essentially nothing about how a player will do their next time up compared to their previous 130+ plate appearances.

Again, very strongly disagree. As Yogi would say, "90% of baseball is half-mental". Confidence has EVERYTHING to do with batting success and pitching success...and Skyler was hot and confident so far tonight. Just as with pitchers, batters have good games and bad games. What does him going 0-12 for a week back in March have anything to do with what he'll do in his 3rd AB tonight? What he did his first two ABs in this game is MUCH more relevant.

BTW, Rat has now hit 6 HRs in his last 7 games; by far his hottest streak in his four-year Rice career. He's carried us on his back several previous times in his career. Here's hoping he can do it just one more time-- for an extended 5 - 6 week stretch! Of course, it wouldn't hurt if Christian Stringer continues to 2 - 3 game hot streak, as well.

I was busy, so I didn't pay attention until now having looked at the pitching matchup earlier, and thinking ....no problem. All I can say is....are you shitting me? Ten effing runs....so much for school being over....we have turned to total mediocre!!

Reminds me of the Memphis football game. Go on the road to play somebody we ought to handle easily, get an early lead, and.... fall apart and lose a close one.
