A Sea Of Red

Flames open 9 game home stand today vs. Longwood. 18 of next 21 games are at home.

LU drops first game 10-2. Sources tell me that plate umpire looked as if he was from Farmville. LU pitchers walked 8 batters . Longwood pitcher had no walks.

That


Is


Ridiculous


You make us look pathetic (as a fan base) with the whining after every single loss

There is a difference between whining and telling it like it is.

I guess Longwood has our number.

we're down 7-0 in the bottom of the 5th now in game 2

Sources tell me it's because President Obama paid the home plate umpire to make our team play with more heavily weighted balls

also he is a satanist and put a hex on us.

plus they poisoned our pre-game meal

on a completely unrelated note: how many other BSOUTH teams can simultaneously televise both baseball AND a softball double header?

with multiple cameras, and replay?

in 2 top-of-the-line stadiums. Arguably among the best in the country in their respective sports?

oh yeah- NO ONE ELSE

This is Division I softball. You're making excuses and you look ignorant in doing it. We got beat. It happens.

we score 2, now down 7-2 going into the top of the 6th

by the way: PAUL WETMORE calling the game with YORK

thats awesome

I have probably seen more D1 softball games than anyone on this board. There are some bad ball and strike umpires out there. I have seen them.

When umpire squeezes the strike zone it forces more groove pitches, and batters tee off on pitcher.

DUDE I'M WATCHING THE FREAKING GAME RIGHT NOW

THEY ARE CRUSHING OUR PITCHING

WHY THE HECK AM I SHOUTING

OR ARGUING WITH SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET

we are now down 8-2, bottom of the 6th

they had 2 runs on 3 hits and left the bases loaded- we're lucky they arent still scoring

we need pitching

we strike out to end the 6th

probably that SATAN music our kids "blare" over the PA system

gotta be the problem

God is punishing us

now down 10-2 , top of the 7th

I wonder if the 4 errors we've committed this game so far, or the 4 errors in game 1, had anything to do with anything?

nah. gonna stick with cheating and Satan

another moon shot to straightaway center.

2 run homer makes it 12-2 LWU

Maybe, but I covered softball for The Champion in my time at Liberty. If we were winning, the opposing crowd blamed the umps (notably Birmingham-Southern). Umpires do not win or the lose, its the ability of the team to rise above "bad calls," or injuries, or to just play the game and execute the game plan.

FWIW, Longwood has always had a decent softball team, and that area of Virginia does produce some good baseball/softball talent.

You going to keep covering softball this in depth Medic? Maybe we can put you on the payroll. Plus your graphics thrown in? Talk about a home run hire.

That's great. You've watched softball. I'm glad you enjoy the game.

Yes, there are bad ball and strike umpires out there. It happens in every sport. Good teams realize it and adjust. We're young. We're still learning how to do that.

I'm in MANSON.

Union scale tho

The softball crew outside of Wetmore, York, producer and director was all students. Yes we are that awesome.

5-0 Longwood. 3rd inning.

Longwood wins 9-0 in 5 innings . Longwood pitcher throws no-hitter.
