Kind of scripted enough for me to say "I told you so." Starting pitching is so very important. It sets the tone for things to come and if it is as bad as today, even powerful offenses can be unable to make the winning comeback.

8-1 and you told us so? Geez. What color is the sky in your world, SUD? It’s baseball. You win some you lose some. You have a good day, you have a bad day. This demand for perfection isn’t ever going to be met. We will lose again, trust me.

You win some you lose some sure - thing Captain Obvious! LOL! There are reasons why you lose and there are reasons why you win. The record has absolutely nothing to do with my comments. I am happy with our record, but my point which seems to evade you is that we need to have better starting pitching, and that was evident again today and at some other games. A simple viewpoint and I see nowhere that I made a demand for perfection. I certainly do trust you that we will lose again. I would also like to trust you to have a little better reading comprehension for my comments.
Oh, and should I thank you for explaining the game of baseball to me? I was coaching the game while you were still in elementary school. I know your attacks on me go back to my coaching your kids how to food fight.

Mrs. sUD needs to rein you in.
I get what you are saying, but you don’t play with the team you wish for, you play with the team you have. If you want to talk about pitching, ETSU staff gave up an average of an excess of 9 runs a game against us. If we win 2/3 from here on out, we will win the conference.

Agreed, and the team we have just might have some pitchers that have not been starters, but coach might find the right combinations to reach the goals that he has stated for this team. BTW, those goals are loftier than just the conference title. We can agree that this team is fun to watch and certainly has some bigtime bats.

This team has exceeded my expectations. Coach David has exceeded my expectations. I hope Coach David and this team have their sights on a super regional.

Bowling Green State Univ. gave up 17 runs today, in an 18-17 victory, running their conference record to 15-0. Thanks for adding to my point. Their starting pitcher for this game has an ERA of 8.44 (10th on team) who was in only his 3rd start of the season. He gave up eight of those runs in his 4.1 innings! I think we are just looking at things differently cujo and we are both right in our assessments.
