They did topple South Carolina and have played very well this year. They may be DI for a short time but they have a very rich recruiting bases and much more talent than Ohio State has on its roster at this moment. They should be a Regional team.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-73442502272997907762011-03-25T12:15:01.171-04:002011-03-25T12:15:01.171-04:00What the heck is going on man,I knew this would be...What the heck is going on man,I knew this would be a rough year but this last week has been a nightmare??? Pitchers can't throw strikes,our defense is horrible and guys are out of position all over the diamond. This Cal State team just joined the D1 ranks last year. I don't know man but I figured we would be better than this.BaseballBucks33https://www.blogger.com/profile/06113078789350330280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-35441637818402847592011-03-13T16:27:44.794-04:002011-03-13T16:27:44.794-04:00With Engle it is all about accuracy and arm streng...With Engle it is all about accuracy and arm strength,,he has pretty good range but throwing is another issue. I agree the errors are killing the starters pitch counts,that is the worst part about the fielding woes. Obviously I have not seen them play this year so it is hard to know what the deal is but I thought the defense would be much improved,maybe it will be by yrs end.BaseballBucks33https://www.blogger.com/profile/06113078789350330280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-39636047574731454902011-03-13T15:33:57.404-04:002011-03-13T15:33:57.404-04:00Disagree on the bullpen depth.

The impression that there is no depth may come from being forced into action entirely too soon...<br /><br />Which again the problem is that the defense is allowing extra outs to the opposition which forces more pitches unto the pitchers and gets to the bullpen earlier than desired.<br /><br />I'll look at the stats later, and try to do seem deep digging, but for the amount of pitches Greve, Wolosiansky, and Rucinski are throwing they should be pitching into the seventh every time, bare minimum through the sixth.<br /><br />The bullpen has enough depth to consistently get 12-9 outs a weekend between Fathalikhani, Armstrong, Minium, Dezse and the rest.<br /><br />I'm fine on Greve for now, Engle's problems may not be new, but last year he had 10 errors all year. The pace of the botching is new for this season and unfortunate.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-48201450264815556082011-03-13T15:26:01.504-04:002011-03-13T15:26:01.504-04:006 errors is horrible but the pitching staff is a w...6 errors is horrible but the pitching staff is a worse concern with all the walks/hit batters.Their is no depth in the pen at all. Greve has not been good lately but Beals does not have many more options. The bottom line is the talent is not here yet,hopefully it is on the way the next few yrs. Engle problems at SS are not new,Solomon has been solid behind the plate so far but DeLucia has not played CF much if ever. And Brad Hutton is an infielder playing LF. Not giving the guys a pass on defense today but my point is guys are playing out of position. Either way this was a bad weekend for sure and next weekend is going to be ugly I am afraid.BaseballBucks33https://www.blogger.com/profile/06113078789350330280noreply@blogger.com
