BYU wins game 2 8-2.
He is 235 from the hips down. Slow as cold molasses. LB loves him.Quote:

A little example of this would be when Tech was well behind in game 3, the team was flat, McConnell was batting, there were 2 outs with a runner on first and the calls at the plate weren’t going Tech’s way. What Burroughs should done was try to steal 2nd early enough in the count to motivate Cole and to obviously get a runner into scoring position. If the runner was thrown out at least McConnell would’ve led off the next inning. Instead Burroughs did nothing and Cole struck out. It was essentially 2 outs in one at bat because we wasted a potential good leadoff the next inning at a time when we were desperate to get something going.
Spoke volumes when Burroughs said he didn't send a single signal the entire game Friday night. I know Tech didn't have many baserunners, but if Burroughs isn't going to signal EVERY time Tech gets a runner on, he needs to go sit in his office.Quote:

Burroughs seems to be coaching with about as much deep thinking as someone makes scrambled eggs. He must be using tarot cards to decide who plays because it’s sure not based on performance. It’s inexplicable why Myers wasn’t playing in game 3.
What has Burchfield done lately? He has at least one hit in the last 6 games he has played going to back to the last 4 he played last year. Just hitting .500 (7-14) over that stretch.Quote:

I want speed on base too, but the speed other than Myers and McConnell isn't getting on base consistently enough.
OB% for players who have started games
Myers .571 (3 singles and a BB in 7 PA)
McConnell .462 (3 singles, 2 BB, HBP in 13 PA)
Burchfield .400 (single and double in 5 PA)
McLeod .333 (double, BB, HBP in 9 PA)
Matulia .333 (HR and 2 BB in 9 PA)
Davis .308 (single, 2 doubles, HR in 13 PA)
Bates .300 (2 singles and a BB in 10 PA)
Safford .286 (2 BB in 7 PA)
Hegwood .250 (single in 4 PA)
Hogart .222 (single and HBP in 9 PA, all leadoff)
Corona .182 (single and HBP in 11 PA)
Drost .111 (BB in 9 PA, BB in 5 leadoff PA)
A .297 team OB% just isn't good enough, especially just .214 (3-14) from the leadoff spot (Hogart and Drost). In the first 14 leadoff PA last year, Young was on base 9 times.
But pitching is a bigger worry for me. 6.67 team ERA with 9.90 from the starters has put the struggling offense behind the 8-ball.
I hope we get to see a lot more J Ince at SS. Kid can hit and probably has a better glove than we had this weekend.
Tonight's lineup card.

BYU up and down in order in the 1st.
No radio yet, and no audio on the video feed that is barely watchable.
Drost walks to start the Tech 1st and moves to second on a wild pitch.
McConnell grounds to second to move Drost to third.
Davis grounds to short to drive in Drost. Tech 1-0.
Matulia strikes out to end the 1st.
Tech 1-0 after 1.
Bases loaded for BYU to open the 2nd on two singles to center and a walk.
2-1 BYU on a another single straight up the middle.
Audio finally on for both radio and the video stream that is still barely watchable.
Tech back up 3-2 on a 2-out 2 RBI single by Drost after Myers reached on an HBP and walks to McLeod and Hegwood.
McConnell walks to load the bases again and then Davis drives in a run on another HBP.
Tech 4-2 and a BYU pitching change.
Matulia strikes out to leave the bases loaded.
Tech 4-2 after 2.
Video finally adjusted bright enough to watch.
BYU up and down in the 3rd.
I was told Tech has one person to handle video production, for all sports. Have no idea if that’s true, but it would be so Tech.Quote:
