And the fact that we're bunting.
I was wondering if those were new. They look great. Now if only I can get a hat

I didn't know we were going to wear new uniforms this year. Did Parmley's injury look bad?

Baseball didn't switch to Nike last year when everyone else did. They've switched over this year.

Nice, hopefully there will be pictures on libertyflames.com after the game.

Nothing better than a bullpen that throws a ton of balls.

Just tuning in. Arrrggghhhh. Why did Beakler only pitch 2/3 of an inning if he was effective? Did he get hurt?

We pitched ourselves out of this game. Now we need to come up with a big 9th beakler being taken out was a strategy move. Didn't work at all.

That's what I was afraid you were going to say.

I dont like the managing down the last 3 innings of that game at all. Seriously, why not go with guys who have done it and have experience in these situations, then Toman pinch hits like it's the big leagues with righties and lefties matchups. I'm so tired of the bullpen coming in and walking people. The walks really did in the pen again today, can we please find some guys that can throw strikes. Not a game you want to lose if your regional team coming out on opening day with your ace on the mound against one of the few teams that you have on your schedule that could potentially help your resume.

I really don't understand why Toman went to an unproven JUCO late. There must be a reason Beakler did pitch longer and I sure would like to know what it was. He was by far our best pitcher out of the pen last year.

What play is he talking about that should have been caught in the outfield? (It was before I had the game on the radio.)

This is how it is with us. Our starters are always good and always give us a chance to win but once they're taken out, all bets are off.

Thats absolutely true. If we had 3 Dane Beaklers we could be a top 25 team.

The worst part is with this loss, we're now relying on a guy who has thrown one inning in a sanctioned game in two years to help us salvage this series. No matter what anyone says, for us to "punch our ticket," we need to win three games this weekend.

Also, Ecklebarger is likely done for the weekend. He was warming up in the 5th or 6th inning and didn't go in until the 8th. That's a lot of throwing.

Maybe we can pull out some guns like JMU...even then the pen could find a way to make it a game.
