A Sea Of Red

The Monarchs (8-5) come to town to try and ruin the Flames perfect record. More than your average mid-week game for LU.

No word on a starter yet, but I would speculate that Cam Giannini would be a candidate to get the nod.

ODU has only one game away from their 757 home this year, and lost to the school that almost took our football coach...

I don't know if it'll happen, but I'd like to see Dane and Chach get an inning each on Tuesday. They're both starting to really get healthy and both threw really well today.

I agree. If Dane gets control of the stuff he can throw, he'll be a great bullpen guy for us. He looked solid today.

And Chach is Chach. He's a real talent, and whatever needs to happen to get him ready to go for weekends in Big South play is what needs to happen.

was talking to PJ a little bit after the game today and he said that this game is deff going to be one of the toughest. ODU has had our number in the past and with a series against Del St. you get lulled into a sense of being on top of the world. The boys need to come out and play Tuesday night

Eh, tough in terms of being up for it, maybe. ODU isn't really that great, tho.

We beat UNCW at UNCW, and UNCW was voted 2nd with 2 1st place votes in the CAA. ODU was voted 4th, with no first place votes.

It might be tough to flip the switch and get ready for ODU, but I think we'll be ready, especially with "undefeated" being on the line.

yea, i dont think he meant they are tough as in they are one of the better teams we play, but tough in the sense that they have had our number and it never helps to go into a game like this after a cupcake series

I think he meant tough compared to the rest of the games on our schedule... After all the teams we have played are 16-32 and an average RPI of 198. ODU is 8-5 and beat Fordham(2-6, 2 wins coming against NYIT), Bucknell (5-5, 3 win sweep against powerhouse VMI), Mt. Saint Mary's(3-5, and beat Norfolk State along the way 2 games out of 3), and La Salle (1-5, only win was ODU).

Should be grea weather tomorrow. A good day to leave work early!

Wind shouldn't be too much of a factor tomorrow, so we should see some bombs. Hopefully we can make up for the debacle in basketball.

Hopefully the PA guy is good too.

He'll probably be all day from nerves then need a few then.... to top that off.... to get him in line. After it's all said in done, people will not be applauding the baseball team, but the PA guy.

Do you need me to sit next to you?

Just remember whenever LU scores a run not to instinctively yell "Point Liberty!"

That would be quite comforting.

We are up 2-1 in the 5th

4-2 ODU now

4-2 ODU in the 7th

Dane seems to be throwing really well. That's really good for us for him to get back to being healthy.

I hate ODU. My rally cap is on.

boooo. we lose 5-3.

We got out coached and out effort-ed today... and the umps killed our final rally attempt.

Carter Browning came in at a time when we needed a guy like Beakler who will attack the zone and get outs. Carter has struggled all year, and to have him out there at a time when we needed someone to attack the batters was not the right move, IMO. Should have stuck with Dudley or gone to Beak...

Also, in the 9th, should have pinch run for Doug Bream... don't know how much it would have mattered on that last play, but it could have.

They threw a really good pitcher, we threw a freshman in his first start followed by a struggling bullpen arm... seems like we weren't playing for the win, and they wanted it a lot worse than we did.

Bad loss for our resume. Gotta hope they bail us out and have a good year.

My last post was "moderated", for some reason...

Anyways, they played like they wanted it, we played like we didn't. They threw a really, really good pitcher, we threw a freshman followed by the pitcher who's had the toughest time so far this year...

ODU is one of those schools that just seem to have our number in everything.

Tough loss today. Controversial double play late that hurt us. Oh well, on to the series this weekend.

Yeah, DC on WSET said he reviewed the tape and his foot was not on the bag at 2nd
