Road Trip Week of April 29

[dawg80]

Why are we playing at ULM again? Anyway, just win Dawgs.

Then on to Las Cruces vs. NMSU. The Aggies scare me with the way they score runs. They give up a ton of runs too, although they did sweep Jax State and did okay on the defensive/pitching side this weekend.

We can, we should, go 4-0 this week. But this is baseball, so never assume anything.

Let's get this one tonight. Would be one step closer to 40 wins.

As new as it is for Tech to get some NCAA consideration it’s seriously important that the Dawgs grit their teeth, take care of business and beat everyone that they’re statistically better than. All the players and the coaches too need to be micro focused to be at their very best. Unfortunately Tech is notorious for playing down to the competition at the worst possible times. This is exactly such a time so for crying out loud let’s not do that. Go Dawgs!

Is Greg Martinez hurt? Haven’t seen anything from him since about week 2 or 3.

[Bone_afide_Dawg]

More like Fouts worked his incompetent pitching coach magic for 3 years to destroy Martinez’s mechanics. About the same as he hasn’t helped Harland improve even a half mile per hour in all the years he’s been at Tech.

I forgot to include that Hooks is getting steadily worse too.

It is a win.

I like ULM's TV guy, Mike Hammond. Not once did he drone on about some small town, BBQ, his favorite Mac & Cheese dish, someone's great grandfather who played for the St. Louis Browns back in the 1920's, just focused on the baseball game. In addition to us winning, I asked myself why am I enjoying this so much? Oh, because there weren't any clowns calling the game.

Good job Dawgs!

Gonna be tougher in Las Cruces this weekend.

Other CUSA scores tonight:

DBU is clobbering SFA 19-4 late in the game.

Jax State beat Ga State 10-5

MTSU beat Northern Alabama 9-2

But, SHSU trails Texas 15-5 6th inning, and NMSU trails UNM 8-4, also in the 6th inning.

NMSU rallied for a 10-8 win.

[dawg80]

Go Dawgs! let's win tonight and get the weekend off to a good start.

NMSU scares me, with the way they can score runs. Their coach has a great offensive mind, and they combine long-ball power with smart small ball. They will steal, hit-n-run, bunt at times, anything and everything to generate offense and they have been very successful doing it. Our middle relievers have struggled this season, and I can see NMSU having a big inning, or two, especially with LB's notoriously slow hook. We better score 10+ each game if we hope to sweep the series, or even win it. NMSU's Keith Jones (I think that's his name...) is an offensive weapon. Leads CUSA in RBIs and has power, but he will also shorten his swing just to get a base hit. He's a very good hitter, one of the best in the nation.

[PawDawg]

I'm not "scared". They have not won a series against a decent team. 21-23

Sweep expected here. 2-1 acceptable just because we are on the road. 1-2 will be due to poor coaching and errors.

[PawDawg]

Going as hoped for so far. 14-0 B of 3

[PawDawg]

AD keeps up the no-no through 3 with a T10 catch to prevent a HR

[LATECH87]

HBTD!!

[Bone_afide_Dawg]

A fantastic win. Congratulations Dawgs! Unfortunately Tech’s radio coverage is crap.

[dawg80]

Great start to the weekend. Gotta get one more. A sweep would be awesome but have a feeling to get the sweep will require winning a game something like 14-13. Which is fine, just get the wins.

Go Dawgs!
