Was Milewski pulled b/c he couldn’t catch the ball? Or was he hurt? I got disgusted and turned the game off; came back and Raymond was in.
The catchers gave up 3 of the 10, dubmass!
Like it was mentioned above, the passed balls cost us but there were nine walks I believe as well.
You need to think a little more about the word "GAVE". GA hit the ball out of the park several times with runners on base that either got hits or were GIVEN walks, on base. And, our catchers GAVE them 3 runs on 3 passed balls, runs they didn't have to work for when they crossed the plate. On the first one Foster barely even made an attempt to cover the plate after the passed ball
Well. The pitchers do have a role in that. Certainly we expect the catcher to block up every pitch but our coaches are teaching our catchers to get all the way on the ground and that limits their range. Sometimes our pitchers look like they can’t get the fear out of them by them throwing so dang many breaking balls in the dirt! They were scared shitless tonight that their fast balls were going to get hammered out of the park. Don’t walk the dang leadoff guys with off speed stuff way outside or in the dirt. We have already proven SOLO HRs don’t hurt State because we have guys who can produce runs. Need to be more aggressive throwing strikes early.
No, but you need to load up the zone early to get ahead in the count before you can expect the batter to chase.
Two of them were right down the middle and hit the catcher’s mitt…
Not having at least one catcher you can consistently depend on defensively is a big problem for a team trying to win a championship.
It's something we really need to get fixed. Hopefully one of these guys steps up somehow.

When will the ncaa or whomever allow mid season trades? Joking but nothing will surprise me going forward.
Not usually for sure, but I thought Bauer was a lost cause for this year so I'll hold out some hope these guys can work a minor miracle.
If only we would have had a better catcher…boo hoo. I guess the catcher lost this game too huh.
Won’t be this year because the ones we have are not going to suddenly get better. Always next year.
