Well....
Where do we go from here? 21 straight and no answers in sight....All three phases of the game have gone cold. Pitching has been dismal, the starters have not given us quality innings and the relievers have not thrown strikes. Hitting has been...inconsistent....we can get guys on base but we have not been getting the big hit. Defensively we have not made plays, dropped fly balls, missed cutoffs, not charging ground balls, not getting behind pop ups....it goes on and on. Basic baseball 101...
We must stay together and stay the course. In a really bad analogy, we may have lost some battles but the war is not over. There is too much talent for us to feel sorry for ourselves and give up on the season. No way. Not me...never. There is still plenty of baseball left for us to still make a run....but we need to figure it out ASAP.
Here is the reality of the situation. We have two choices:
1) Play out the games. Hang our heads, talk about the bad breaks, the missed chances and how young we are....Let the past dictate our future and when postseason play begins follow along with the live stats.
2) Pick up each other off the ground, dusts ourselves off and get after it. Learn from our mistakes. Build on the positives. Start creating our own breaks and get back to playing the game. Use the next two weeks to create some momentum and ride the wave into Sewanee, DePauw and beyond....
"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination"

My favorite manager of All Time....He's the guy who can take his and beat yours....then take yours and beat his. I would give anything to sit down and talk to him about baseball and life over a nice homemade Italian dinner. Doesn't get much better than that...
You Gotta Believe...Go Petrels!
