Some other sports real quick, the softball team run ruled Iowa State to clinch a share of the Big XII title today. Women's tennis is down 1-0 to Baylor and trailing in 4 of 6 of the singles. Men's tennis is tied with aggy 1-1 and leading in 3 of 5 remaining singles matches.
Wonder what these Bears hitters are thinking. First, they rally late to get no-decisions against Jungmann and Green, only to lose in extra innings in both contests.
Then, come Sunday, they have to face our "weakest" starter, a guy with an 8-1 record and 2.82 ERA. You have to wonder if, psychologically, the Bears are beat.

jmo...we need to swing away on fritch now...he's looking for us to swing at pitches off the black...no need to give up outs, he;s hittable when he's behind the count.
last nite's BU pitcher was a different deal, he was dominant...but fritch is hittable if we make him come to the strike zone
Horns have stranded a couple of runners at third now, would like to see a few more runs, counting on pitchers to be perfect is not a sustainable strategy.
