I've told you this before and I am telling it to you again Luke, but this is baseball and you have no fricking clue what you are talking about. These loses aren't out of the ordinary. Hell, MLB teams lose to high school teams quite regularly.

Now us not having but 6 pitchers I trust that is a legit gripe. I did like Camacho's outing. He got beat and gave up a homer then let that stay in his head as he gave up a 4 pitch walk. But he had 4 real good innings. We have got to get a third starter. Davis Daniel is getting the start today. Let's see how he does against easier competition.

Spring training games. The Phillies lost to a D2 school last year.

That wasn't the Phillies true team and that was still extremely unusual

He could have just said on average MLB Teams lose 70+ games per year. That's a lot of losing and sometimes to shite teams. College ball is a whole different ball game though.

Auburn baseball beats Kennesaw State 6-4. Was up 4-0 but Herndon blew the lead in the 8th.

Auburn softball about to begin vs Alabama State. Feel bad for ASU because this one is going to get really ugly I'm afraid

How hard will it be to get tickets to watch the girls Saturday night?

I am more than comfortable in my knowledge of the college game... perhaps you may want to check your assumptions

Just to give you an idea.. Every seat in the Auburn softball complex has a name on the seat. Even all of the bleachers outside of the combined General Admission/Student Section have a name on them.

Tickets for softball are virtually impossible to come by if you don't have much notice in advance. Best chance is standing room at this point

They might have to expand the seating in the future if that's the case. The games I've been to haven't been super packed, but it was midweek games and cold so I imagine that's going to change.

Weekend games are a nightmare. One family had provided all the funds for the recent upgrades but they are done with their donations for awhile so another donation will have to come from someone else if they were to expand. They need a 2nd row of blue chair backs

Auburn baseball blows an 8-4 lead in the 9th and loses to Presbyterian 11-8.

Our bullpen is a nightmare and this team will be held back because of it. For being a renowned pitching coach, Thompson's staff hasn't seemed to improve since last year. It's early but geez.

It doesn't matter the sport, if LSU loses the official/ref/ump is the main reason why

Seriously? I had no idea.

That's great (in general, not for people trying to go)
