Watching Belmont game. In 8 innings we have walked 9 guys, hit 2 and made 2 errors.

I had the chance to watch the game on espn+. USI has good arms on the pitching staff, but they will have to upgrade for sure. It will take time. They do have talent. Hopefully with some improvements with the facilities will help pull in better recruits. Fortunately, I do believe there is a lot of baseball talent locally in SW Indiana to draw from. For now, they will take some lumps. The Murray State games were dreadful.

I have been to nearly all the home games and watch online when on the road. What I am seeing is pitching not challenging the hitters. Like shorthaircut mentioned there is a lot of walks each game including 13 against Murray. If the pitchers challenge the hitters more I think they will find greater success. There have been several winnable games that the bullpen didn't close out. One thing to keep in mind across all the sports...this is year one in D1 with a lot of new opponents and ways of doing things. Have patience and keep supporting the Screaming Eagles.

Murray isn’t good so not sure what happened to our pitching in those games. We had a legit chance to win yesterday but gave up 3 runs late. Frustrating to see it.

Yesterday’s game is a perfect example. Belmont only hit two balls on the nose yesterday. They won because the staff gave up too many free passes with less than 2 out.

Baseball team had every chance in the world to win against Ball State. But poor fundamentals in the field lost the game. Pitching was really good, but this team simply cannot field the ball.

I saw we blew a 2 run lead at the end of the game ————again. Ugh. This team is finding ways to throw games away. Can’t tell you how many games now we had lead at the end of game,only to blow a 2 or 3 point lead and end up losing in extra innings. Beyond frustrating because we are right there to win but mess up in the 9th. I believe he has already signed 5-6 new players for next season so hopefully help is on the way.
