All Things Gopher Baseball

Well that escalated quickly.

Also, the 5 HR inning masks the fact that we misplayed another ball in the OF that should have been an out but instead was registered a triple.

Kansas offense welcomed a lot of young pitchers to college today. Nobody likes to see the score but in the end it is just 1 game and a split with a solid team.

Losing 1-29 after 7 innings. This is simply ugly. Flush this from memory and never speak about it again.

Score speaks for itself on this one. Felt like 2 1/2 losses, but still just counts as one. On to PK Park, weather permitting...

Was it always scheduled to go 7 innings or was it some sort of mercy rule situation?

I would assume it was a mercy rule.

New rule, if you allow your opponent to get to 20 runs you should just forfeit your season.

Nah, other than today it's been a pretty fun season.

Good lord, reality check

Pitching 3 true freshman and a sophomore who has only thrown 13 innings in last 3 seasons because of Tommy-John surgery was not a good spot.

We just don't have the horses to play 2 mid-week games against a t25-35 team like Kansas. 5 games in 6 days stretched us too thin.

Baseball is a funny game. Sometimes the ball gets rolling in the wrong direction and you end up with a huge stinker of a game. Doesn't mean at all that Kansas is that great or we are that bad. It happens and you move on.

Especially when you consider that in the first we were close to putting up 3-4 runs and we were also inches from snagging a line drive at SS to get out of the 2nd without giving up any runs. Both those things happen and who knows how the dynamics of the rest of the game play out.

Funny game indeed.
