Hogs vs Washington State—-Baseball

Sus-Scrofa · Feb 17, 2025, 02:42 PM

Opening weekend seemed to go rather well.

Rick B. · Feb 17, 2025, 02:44 PM

Fire the fucking hitting coach. We only averaged 9 runs a game over the first 4 games.

We definitely have the pitching ( as long as they all don't get the Tommy John about mid season).

Gave up 8 total runs with a few being unearned.

We might've scored a few more runs Friday if conditions were better. Solid start.

Why? We hit very well two out of 4 games. Way too early to be calling for a firing Rick.

I didn't think I needed to put a SARCASM tag for you, Timothy.

A lot of teams would like to be 4-0, Chuck.

I'll believe it when I see us hit in a regional/super regional/Omaha. That's the only hitting that counts for DVH. It sucks but that's the definition of success at this point. This early stuff is all prelude to the important stuff in May/June.
It's kind of nice to be at this point with our baseball program. I'll take it over whatever mediocre shit we are currently doing in football and basketball.

This is the first time in a long time I have seen us this deep in pitching. But hitting I don't know either. We always seem to go into slumps at just the wrong time. I just hope we slow our swings down some and hit singles and doubles more. HR are always nice, but swinging for the fence every time usually ends badly.

BASS · Feb 17, 2025, 08:08 PM

I'll take 15 singles a game please

What excites me as much as anything is our Saturday and Sunday starters. I don't remember ever having 3 or 4 starting pitchers this good. Hagan carried us last year and Kopps in a different way back in '22, but after week 1, the depth seems to be as good as advertised.

We'll learn more about our hitters this weekend.

Since when do we have a hitting coach?

I did notice NT is in the dugout with DVH standing right next to him. Hopefully he can be coached up this season.

I hope this kid's bat comes along. I need him on the field. What a fun name to yell while drunk.

I think he is only 5'9" tall and looks like he is going to miss every throw to him at first. He has a weird catching stance. But, I think his bat right now is better than Robinett's. Guess we will see.
