A big question mark on our HC who gave up this game in the 6th inning. That was quitting.
I wouldn't call it quitting by Burroughs. It's more "stubbornness", like Wade Slimtoneaux's attitude of "this is the way I do it and I am NOT changing". He simply refuses to pull a struggling starter because he has no faith in our bull pen. Sutton got absolutely ROCKED AGAIN, but then he yanks the bullpen guys after a few pitches. Yet we are way down because of a horrible starting pitcher and batters who can't seem to score a run until the 7th inning.
Coach said he wasn't opening up a can of worms, but said basically if J'Mar Smith gave full attention to baseball he would be playing in the Big Leagues. J'Mar had a double, 2 RBIs and gunned down a runner at 2nd with his arm. He was drafted by San Diego out of high school. Wonder if that gets in his head. 2 Byrd signers gave up football for full attention to baseball this year.
And if J'Mar Smith gave full attention to football he would be the next Dak Prescott in the NFL.
Glad he goes to Louisiana Tech University. Loves both baseball and football. I remember Bo Jackson back in the day.Quote:

We signed the ace pitcher from the No. 1 JUCO in the country. I'm more concerned about losing all the position players.Quote:

just going thru roster we lose a ton of them. They just about all came in as Jr. College transfers. I guess at our level that how you have to roll.Quote:

I don't know if he has no faith in the bullpen or what, but you have to act when your starter is obviously done.
Our defense did not help our pitchers in the sixth tonight. It's a long list of non scorable errors. Routine fly balls getting over our outfielder's heads was the most glaring. Those were two outs that were not made well before UAB got the real rally going.
