I was feeling grumpy and cynical yesterday after having my faith shaken. Your post above this I mostly agree. My only caveat has little to do with Friday however it is a symptom. As of now I'm not seeing an Omaha pitching staff. Meltdowns happen in baseball, but 2 meltdowns in the last 6 league games to the extreme extent of both meltdowns is a definite concern. Bats go somewhat silent, gloves disintegrate, and the pen collapses. |

Refrained from posting last night after the loss. Just want to start off by saying I don’t think we should press the red button. Just didn’t show up this series it’s baseball. My worries about this team aren’t if they’re good enough or not it’s if we can get healthy when it matters. The injuries finally caught up to us. Not having Latterly, Scott, and Jimenez really hurts the depth of the bullpen. Being down three starting position players (McDowell, Caraway, Kasper) is a detriment to any team. Hoping Palmer can inject some needed confidence into the bullpen.

As of now I'm not seeing an Omaha pitching staff. What was it people were saying early on? We’ll have run support to offset the weaker pitching. A couple more timely hits and better skills on the base paths and we could’ve won Thursday and maybe Friday wouldn’t have come to pass. But the bats went cold when the pitching was decent. Friday was a complete disaster, but Thursday could’ve been our game. I think the pitching staff is ok. It hurts having lost quality arms. One or two come back, and a little more improvement among the guys throwing now and we could be ok. You gotta remember that Omaha is all about everything coming together at the right time. |

All that is true. But... equally so is the fact we've given up too many runs and had several tight games vs far inferior opponents. Then the Utah debacle topped by this week. Growth could happen. But, at almost 50% of the way thru the regular season what I've seen is one legit weekend starter that can shut down post season teams. And, a very suspect pen that is highly inconsistent. This staff looks and performs very much like the one in the '23 Pac12 tournament, then better vs postseason teams. People were outraged where OSU was sent. Giving up 23 runs even with Johnny all staff was ridiculous. It's not losing to non-postseason teams. It's the how. What you do slowly becomes who you are. But, I'm going by what I've seen so far. Not guessing about what may or may not occur. |

I don't think this is a pitching staff that carries you through every game of the post season. We will need the healthy bats.

As a Fan you have to be worried about the Pitching. You can't be happy about the infield play, not really what we are used to seeing. My hope is the injured will soon return and get back to business. Somebody better step up and get that Pitching Staff back to throwing strikes.

Somebody better step up and get that Pitching Staff back to throwing strikes. And they better set all the pitching machines to breaking balls and learn how to hit them since everyone has seen how the Beavs struggle with breaking balls. |

No big deal. We are a woman's basketball school. "are" becomes "were". Baseball school once again. Baseball program had the gravitas to go the independent route. WBB unfortunately not....instead WBB has to go with the likes of SF State, Santa Clara, etc. - and a wide open portal. |
