This team is 12-20-1. Last season, we ended at 52-14. How did we fall so far? Very distressing. I don't have a good feeling about the rest of this season. I just hope we can turn things around.

For starters, every position player except the third baseman left.  Then we moved our DH to first base.  Lost our closer and another reliever that we relied heavily on.  One of our weekend starters is pitching in Canada.  I may be missing something else. 

I'm not making excuses I promise you.  No one is more disappointed, or had higher expectations, than me.  That having been said, there's a lot of talent from last year's team that is currently playing at the next level in some form or another.

I also hope that we turn things around.....and soon.

Thanks for the perspective. You're right--we lost a lot of talent from 2023. The only way to go is up!

The Honor Code clearly states: No stealing. (Unless it's an ORU baseball player committing the act.)

Another bad, almost inexplicable loss.  Two untimely errors leading to two unearned runs and the home team falls 3-2.  The Tommies had nine hits, all singles, with only one of them clearing the infield on the fly.  ORU is also aided by three Tommie errors, but only leading to one run.  All of the positive momentum from last week crashes to a halt.

Talk about two MUST wins today and tomorrow.....Good Guys have to step up or they are facing a very difficult road for the rest of April and May.....ORU just has to beat the Tommies and take this series or blood will be in the water and the sharks will come feasting.....GO BLUE!!! :tb-white:

The sad thing about last night is that we wasted a fine performance by Jakob Hall and left way too many players in scoring position.  it was a frustrating game to watch.  I'm looking forward to some FUN games to watch!!

I'm really getting tired of seeing ORU baserunners thrown out at home.

ORU can’t seem to get a break in ANY aspect of the game. Seems like they lose at every flip of the coin.

Had the last two runs in the 9th by the Tommies not materialized, we may still be playing baseball after the blast by Drew Stahl.  UST had good, timely hits and some very good fielding plays.  The first baseman made a miracle catch behind his back in fair territory that would have started a great rally had it been uncaught, but the luck went to the Tommies today and they have taken a series (their first) from our beloved Golden Eagles.

Time to see what we have with some of the players on the bench.

Doesn't appear that we are off to a great start.
