Gaeckle's up to a 7.24 ERA.

He'll probably (hopefully) get it figured out.

After going 0 for 4 yesterday, Souza is now batting .045 on the season.

He hasn’t had a hit since opening day against Wazzu.

I just thought it was ironic that Feral made that post and then boom base hit.

Damn I love this sport

Honestly, I think PG is being pragmatic toward us and I don't blame them. We keep fricking up the first chance we get postseason. And we've had a lot of close calls against underwhelming competition so far this year. #10 seems fair until league play starts.

Weird that we dropped in the NCBWA after a sweep, but that's not a good team and we struggled pretty hard at times.

I stand by my criticism of Nate Thompson. I hope the Arkansas bats continue at the level we are seeing early in the season and I am made to look like a fool.

I have found it pleasantly refreshing to see us actually playing a little small ball to move our base runners into scoring position.

Agree. We also have more patience at the plate and don't go down 0-2 with runners in scoring position.

Ole Piss series looms on the horizon.

I'll eat crow if our bats continue to stay hot vs SEC pitching.

Smoked and seered is my crow preference

If your gonna eat crow eat it boiled with no seasoning.

If our bats continue through the SEC season then I will host all for a boiled crow supper.
