    Crabb comes in for Williams in the 7th.

    Wild pitch gets a runner in poistion to score from third on a fielder's choice. 11-6 Arkansas.

    Another walk moves Bates from 3B to P. Safford in at 2B, McLeod to 3B, and Ince to SS.

    12-6 Arkansas on an Evans passed ball.
    14-6 on a 2-run single.

    Have to question why Evans wasn't playing from day 1.

    Matulia's stiff neck actually might be a huge plus in the long run because Evans doesn't see the field otherwise.
    I think the answer is as obvious as everything else that’s wrong with this team’s performances, the coaches can’t evaluate their players, they can’t come to make decisive changes and trust too much in that things will change. Just put some names to that formula and you have the answers to the performances of Fincher, Drost, Corona and to a degree Matulia. Meanwhile it’s the players we hardly know who are playing the best. As for our mostly inept pitching well that’s all on a clueless pitching coach.

    Embarrassing weekend. It was pretty much batting practice for Arkansas. We better turn things around fast or we’ll have to win the cusa tournament to make a Regional.

    Re: Preview: LA Tech at No. 3 Arkansas Series

    A regional is nowhere in sight right now. This whole team is way out of balance and losing more of their footing every time they play. Just like last year when Tech was undone by a just so-so Air Force team if Burroughs can’t get things straightened out immediately this Tuesday and Wednesday could be nightmarish. As much as anything I don’t know if there’s any player leadership within this bunch.

    It's all about pitching.

    Our best closer is our third baseman.

    There's your sign.

    I thought our pitching was supposed to be better, but it looks like we need to score 12-15 every day to be competitive.

    We are mediocre at best

    Anemic offense and subpar pitching

    Re: Preview: LA Tech at No. 3 Arkansas Series

    Tech RPI at 177, and that's up 16 in the last week by losing three at Arkansas.

    Tech's predicted RPI is 215 with a 23-33 predicted record and an 8-22 C-USA predicted record that would be a tie for 8th with Rice for the last tournament bid.

    I expect better than those records, but Tech is a long, long way from thinking about any NCAA bid right now.

    By my count there are 22 guys listed as pitchers on Tech’s roster. It simply isn’t possible for Tech to have that many guys who can’t actually pitch after they’ve played baseball for roughly 13+ years each. Just take Fincher, Martinez and Tomkins as the primary examples of players who have been good to very good in the past and as of most recently are essentially totally ineffective. Our best pitchers are actually getting worse and as a whole our entire pitching staff doesn’t appear to be capable of completing. How can guy after guy after guy go in and they’re all so ineffective…? What this large sample says is that Tech’s so called pitching coach can’t coach pitching. He can’t coach pitching and he can’t call pitches. Tech is not playing good baseball because of coaching not because we don’t have capable players. In general the same can be said about Tech’s batting too. I don’t see how Burroughs is going to fix bad coaching in the midst of the season without him taking over everything himself. And to that point I have my doubts that he’s that capable of a coach. Usually ugly only gets uglier so brace yourselves. FriscoDawg’s RPI stat predictions could be dead on.

    We are looking awful across all sports right now.

    That's on the AD. It is his job to make sure we are competitive.

    I think we will be stressed to get 30 to 33 regular season wins based on the results right now

    Should have a clearer picture after these next 5 games

    1-4 or 2-3 and 30 wins might be tops to expect from this group

    On today's update the predicted conference record stayed at 8-22, but now that's at 9th place to miss the conference tournament. 20-36 overall predicted record with a 227 predicted RPI

    Burroughs needs to go to warrennolan.com and print this page out and post it. He shouldn't have to say another word, but I'm not sure that would be enough for this group.
