We just lost game one to a team that's only won three games in the league. If we lose another game this weekend, we will be in serious trouble in terms of qualifying for the conference tournament - that we're hosting.

I see that...but the only facts he states are negative. Im not saying they should never be broght up but when all you do is bring up the bad stuff and when something good happens, you dont say anything, it comes off like all youre in for is the negatives

Sorry BJ- this team could be good, but currently, they are no better than middle of the pack in the BS. Middle of the pack in the BS is bad... I'm guessing the worst since Toman has been here when it is all over.

False, when we have a good win he always posts and says 'good win' or something along those lines.

BJ I give credit when it's due. The fact that we lost to Winthrop shows how bad we are. We should sweep teams that are this bad. It would also be very embarrassing to not make the tournament that we are hosting in our brand new stadium.

good series win. agreed we need sweeps in the upcoming series. it would be terrible to miss the tournament at our own place. if we could ever get some hitting consistency we could seep these weekend series.

There's no reason to keep beating a dead horse but yest the hitting is still very very weak. Lyons will be a key for us if he can give us 6 good innings in this midweek game so that we can keep Richardson and Perritt fresh for the weekend games. Alex did hit a couple balls hard to center today but didn't get much to show for it.

Agree Jinxy but with no chance of an at large berth, the overwhelming focus has to be on the conference games, especially this weekend at VMI. We are in a dogfight for a tournament berth and with the Campbell series on the horizon where we are huge underdogs to a top 30 team, all resources need to be available for this weekend. This statement may sound hypocritical - we are not a good hitting team but have guys that are capable of being good hitters that can put a couple of weeks together. If we can get to the tournament, this group has the ability to put a run together and win it. Not every team in the league can say that.

Perritt has been a silver lining this year! Also a great play in outfield yesterday. A Popfly to right and he threw out running at home that was tagging.

agreed sporter, toman would still use jrich or perritt in midweek save spot though. My point is just that Lyons giving 6 good innings would be huge so that we didn't deplete the pitching for the weekend. Yes an atlarge bid is out of the question even if we won all 15 remaining games haha, not happening. Sorry didn't make that clear.
