watched them play this past weekend. if they start hitting hot we're in trouble.

Garret Baker cruises through 4 scattering 6 hits and Tyler Bream launches a 2 run bomb as part of a 3 run 5th and LU leads 6-1

Great to hear about Tyler's HR. If he can get hot this weekend, that would help us immensely (understatement of the day, for sure).

[BJWilliams]

for sure...oh and LU puts up a 4 spot and leads 10-1 through 6 down at the Diamond...

[BJWilliams]

and the pounding is complete...Liberty wins 11-1

anybody listen to the game today or anything. it always scares me when a pitcher comes out after 4 innings when the line looks OK. Maybe he threw a ton of pitches, or maybe we wanted to get some guys some work, because the pen has hardly been used teh last couple weeks.


The biggest event of the last 2 games is somebody woke up the dang bats finally.

[Sly Fox]

Just a hunch, but with a rather significant 3-game series coming up it would make sense that we would want to keep some arms fresh ... especially considering this wasn't a tight contest today.

CORRECTION - Hopefully the Rams graduate to football.

Im with Sly on this one...not every instance of a guy coming out after four innings is a sign of an injury or something...Storm wants to have all of his best weapons available all weekend because even though CCU is a bit down this year...its still a HUGE series. getting two of three in Conway would be a major confidence booster.

i agree.. i was just making sure. Most of the guys that followed Baker aren't going to pitch a lot of meaningful innings down teh stretch anyway. It's pretty clear that Beakler, Jrich, and Mccleod are going to handle most of the relief work.
