I was begging for Lemonis to pull Stiever after he got hit in the ankle. He was laboring this inning already. And now we're down 7-0. 2 batters too late getting pulled.

 

[hoosierhero?2993]

We will have the crowd behind us here tonight, but gotta hit.

Yeah we're done.

 

[Mas-sa-suta]

Game over.

We don't belong in this thing.

Embarrassing.

Freddy needs to look long and hard at Lemonis...
Ran 3 ball count on three straight hitters, then two solid singles off Steiver to start the next inning...then leaves him out there until the rout is completed....
F'in terrible...average HS coaches are better than this...

 

[mattndallas]

What's worse?

That, or 7 KO's out of the first 9?

Funny that the 3 seed is a 15 RPI though.
