We appear to be slumping at the wrong time. It looks like we don’t want it - like they think this is a gimme. Southern doesn’t know they’re supposed to lose. They came to play. Top of 4th & we just walked a run in. 3-2 Southern.

This is always the risk when you don't throw your ace Game 1. You send the wrong signal. You really need to have a mentally tough team to make it happen, and I thought we had that with this team, but it appears we do not.

We will be fine if we stop giving away at bats. We should be up 6-4 right now at least.

You are reaching. Its not like we threw a midweek guy out there.

We've got 2 hits total in the game so not sure how we should have 6 runs. If it weren't for the walks they've given us we would not have even scored yet. We aren't getting clutch hits but we really aren't getting any hits much.

Would you go take out the screamer for all of us watching on tv?

Did you see the last inning? Two fly outs on balls out of the zone and then loaded the bases and left them loaded. We’ve let them off the hook.

We are not being patient at the plate. Rowdy swinging at the first pitch with bases loaded and a new pitcher instead of making the guy throw some strikes.

Let's see if this error can get us going.

Mangum gives us a useless at bat again. Things not looking good. Right now our offense is just really bad.

Mangum has forgotten how to hit. He pops up pitches that are eye-level to him. Too late now to try to fix this junk in the batter’s cage. If you’re not ready before you get to the game you can’t get ready after you get to the game. At this point, making it out of this regional looks doubtful if we keep playing like this.

I’m not sure but I think the only time Mangum’s been on base was when he was HBP in the 1st inning. I could be wrong.
