WTF? He got a piece of it? He gets a piece of and it is in the glove, he's out on the foul tip. It's not in the glove then Rupp has to run it down and throw him out at first. Craig makes no GD sense explaining baseball.
All said and done, a decent pitching job, giving up three ERs. We could have won 6-3 but for that error at avery inopportune time in the 9th. But OK, go win two more and let us steady this ship.
They only scored on HBP's, bases-loaded walks and dropped pop ups. As much as it's possible in baseball, this was a game that wasn't as close as the final score. We also saw their 2 best pitchers - Murray and Rooke.
Why won't Augie and Skip develop a closer though? I hate this closer by staff crap. Are we really gonna rely on bringing in cold infielders to close out games for us? My vote is for Stayton Thomas. He looked good in the role against Baylor, so I say let him have a shot at it.
