We lose. 8-7 final, in 12. We had 23 K's. Announcer said that was the most Louisville has had in a game since 2000. I can understand having a lot of strike outs when you hit a lot of HR's, which we have. But not today, and not even close to getting one. 23 K's, 0 HR's.Score?
So unclutch. Lloyd, our #3 hitter - usually the best hitter - up with bases loaded and 2 outs, and strikes out, of course. The announcers were all over how great he is. But he wasn't drafted for a reason last year. We just need to get better players in here. We have had a really good year, considering we don't have MLB talent, that's for sure. Mercer has done a great job. But it's on Lemonis for not recruiting better talent.23 K's. We lose in 12.
Just strange how unclutch we are. When the game is tight. We get nothing but K's.
This coulda won us a Regional.
Now...hell...we may have to go beat Louisville twice at their place.
EFFF!
You do know the new obstruction rule which profits players from blocking the plate or base unless they have possession of the ball?Our catcher has flat out given them 2 of their 8 runs with terrible positioning. Early in the game Gorski came up ready to fire home then realized Cross was 10 feet in front of the plate. The 8th run should have been an out too, but he inexplicably was 5 feet in front of the plate.
We are still in the running to win BIG Regular Season Championship we took two of three from the league leader and lost third in extra innings. Lost in extra innings to # 8 team in the country. Top 30 RPI and we have no talent?So unclutch. Lloyd, our #3 hitter - usually the best hitter - up with bases loaded and 2 outs, and strikes out, of course.

8-7 loss.Score?
Dude. Seriously? No. I had no idea baseball had rules. Gosh, I'm glad you stopped by to explain these difficult concepts for us. Thanks so much.You do know the new obstruction rule which profits players from blocking the plate or base unless they have possession of the ball?

Then you must know he was not allowed to be in baseline before the ball is there.8-7 loss.

I hate to hate on the guy because I know he's trying. Heck, he might be trying too hard. The announcers last night said Mercer told them he rakes in practice. So maybe it's just a "lights on" factor that gets to him. I don't know, but he's definitely a liability no matter how you slice it. I'd hate to think how many Ks have come with runners in scoring position. I'd seriously consider using the DH in his slot and let Pauly hit...maybe some of the other pitchers too. Do they still work on bunting? That was another stat I heard last night...IU has only sac bunted 7x for the whole year. Mercer acted dismissive of the way UL plays offense with their small ball and run strategy, but daaaaayyyaaaam it works! They made our infielders look pretty bad multiple times last night, including the game winning run.
That’s not going to happen, UL will continue to recruit Indiana (and the Midwest) hard. Lem did it, now Snider is. Avery Short only commits to IU because of Lem, now he’s a Cardinal commit (though he may not make it to campus). UL is the premier program in the Midwest. You can’t deny the history and them playing in one of the toughest conferences in the nation.Ashley really ought to be an 8 or 9 hitter. And probably would be if Kaletha was healthy. Darn shame we have had to play without one of the best all-round players on the team. And yes, I'm guessing Mercer is on the lookout for speedy line drive hitters that can put the ball in play. Those are probably the same kids UL is after. It totally pisses me off to see so many Indiana kids playing down there. Even their darn closer was from Batesville. BUILD the DAMN WALL!
