I blame Burroughs letting Broderson walk 3 guys to put a major funk on the team and motivate NMS. Burroughs getting involved in a game only leads to losses.
This loss and the Arizona Friday night loss are hard to swallow.Quote:

They have been involved in games exactly like this all year, sometimes they lose, sometimes they win wild, high-scoring games, but they have them quite regularly. I said as much prior to the start of this series. No surprises here. When Davis looked like a lost T-baller and failed to catch that pop-up, I said to myself, "we just lost this game." Next pitch...grand slam. So effing predictable.
Bates throws VERY hittable pitches. He does not have an over-powering fast ball, and half his breaking stuff...doesn't. He gets away with it against lousy and mediocre hitters, but a good-hitting team, which NMSU is, will feast on his mediocre stuff. Same thing will happen today, so I hope LB has the sense not to pitch him today. Broderson too, way too many walks, gets himself in trouble.
I will be surprised if we win today and win the series. Hope we do, but I ain't counting on it. That Walker dude who pitched the last two innings is the best pitcher on either team's roster and he'll start today and give them 6-7 good innings, their offense will have scored 10 by then, and it'll be game over.
On the positive side, good outings by Nichols and Hubka. Our hitters are swinging the bats, but I have seen many, many teams do this in games at NMSU.
The critical play of the game IMO, but that was on Corona, not Davis. It was Davis' ball to catch running from 1B, but Corona was calling for it and should have been running away from the play not under the ball. No way Corona could make that catch and no way Davis could get to it with Corona out of position. Pretty sure this was the 3rd misplayed infield pop up of the year involving 5th or 6th year guys.Quote:

Who said "NMSU doesn't scare me..."? They are crushing us, and even IF their pitching/defense lets them down today, they will still score a ton of runs. Like I said. I think today is going to be ugly for us, probably 10-run-ruled and done in 7 innings.
It’s over. Starter couldn’t give us 5 innings. We’re done
Tech getting pounded early 7-0 in the 2nd inning. It sounds like we’re already done. Giving up this many runs this early sounds like they’ll score in the 20s. It’s funny how whoever Tech plays has some sort of record breaking performance against us whether it’s as an individual or a team. It’s no surprise really. Tech always plays close to being something special but then the Burroughs underachieving coaching factor kicks in and we come crashing back to Earth being nothing special.
We're back in it, now down 7-5. But we still have to hold them from scoring too much more to have a chance.
Why can't Safford and Bates lay down bunts down the 3rd base line when they put on that shift? My gawd! surely they can handle the bat well enough to get down a damn bunt. Doesn't even have to be a great bunt, anything will do. Sheesh!
And Myers looks horrible when he strikes out. He couldn't reach the pitches he swings at with a broom.
