Baseball expectations

Ok, we lost a tough game today but Louisville is a ranked team and you cannot win every game. With the great start we have had this year expectations are high for ending a 15 year streak of not making it to Omaha. People that are just homers and don't know baseball should be really excited about this year's team instead of whining and blaming when we lose. Through 42 games, our record is 35-7 compared to 33-9 last year and 26-16 the year before. This year's team is good, fun to watch and has a great shot to make it to the series. What's not to like about that? Happy Easter and go to church tomorrow.

Todays game was a game that should have been won about 3-4 times… the approach at the plate with runners in scoring position specifically on 3rd with less than 2 outs was atrocious… with that said the pitching has actually been really good over the weekend against one of the better hitting teams we face. To be honest I think this team is built for Omaha… winning a regional and super In our park against teams that will
Def have more power it was makes me nervous… Omaha is the equalizer for big fly teams… I just hope we can scratch and claw enough to get out there … I will say I’ll be disappointed in this year if we don’t atleast make it out there this year ! Go Tigers !

This team hasn’t accepted what they are on offense. They play best when they focus on moving runners, chocking up the bat with two strikes and working to put the ball in play. Way too much of the lineup is trying to discover their power stroke and it is hurting with these pop ups and strikeouts. Do as I describe and the Tigers could have scored 8 or 9 in 9 innings today.

Well imo we watch way too many first pitch fastballs in the zone and strike out looking at fastballs which I def don’t understand… with a runner on 3rd and no outs we should be sitting fastball looking to drive it , not out the park but middle back side and even decently deep fly balls and that game today is an easy 2-3 run win…baffles me how many times we are frozen by a fastball with 2 strikes. On the bright side I don’t think this team has hit its stride at the plate and there’s plenty more there … if the pitching continues to evolve and we get hit at the right time we will be very dangerous.

Opponents definitely have Priest scouted. He rarely swings at first pitch no matter the pitch or location. They don’t worry about him going yard until second pitch, so his at bats usually start at 0-1 count, quickly moving to 0-2 or 1-2. Then it’s just a question of whether he connects with a changeup or the breaking balls thrown to outside.

Absolutely right - The goal is to win the “series” , Sure a sweep is great. Winning 2 out of 3 is the goal. This team is gritty tough and getting better. I do hope Cam can get right and start to be a big time contributor.

We have yet to lose a series. Everyone needs to let that sink in.

This is a good baseball team but I don't feel like it's an Omaha team. We'll bounce out of the post season in the fashion you've seen recently.
