Its Game Day Boys! (L 6-3)

That mic located near the home plate umpire is definitely hot. A lot a colorful language coming across the TV feed.

Comeback time

So happy to hear this! Best news I’ve heard in a long time.

Agreed. Team looked a little nervous at first, but seemed to come alive a bit after Julks made that fantastic catch in the 2nd. Some bad calls hurt, home plate ump had an inconsistent strike zone, some baserunning gaffes, but not scoring runs with men on 2nd/3rd and 1 out with Scheiner and Julks due up was the nail in the coffin.

Still, Iowa’s a good team and played solid; gotta tip your cap to them as they deserved the win. On to the next one and hopefully we can keep Baylor’s losing streak going as they’ve now lost 5 in a row.

The turnover on the baseball roster the last few years has been absurdly high.

If you keep running kids off, you don’t get to use the “youth” excuse.

Running kids off? I thought our attrition was due to the remarkable number of our guys getting drafted each year.

Before last year, yes. Last year, Coach got upset and ran a bunch off.

Seems to have worked.

I agree. Needed to be done
