Welp, it had to happen sometime…

And we have won our share of coming back when we probably shouldn’t have.

Tonight was not our night.

We need to go to Oregon and win a series…. Nothing else matters….. looking ahead and talking about hosting a regional is superfluous at this point.

This game really meant nothing…

But it pointed out some chinks in our armor.

We are very good team…. And you will see it the rest of the year.

But there are always gonna be….. “those nights”….
 
I've been going to most home games since 1995, and I've never seen a team act like KU. Even Augue Garrido's teams! Low class. Home plate ump was awful. Surprised Will didn't get run earlier. Ump must have known he blew the call.. as you can't come out to argue balls and strikes. Just a bad night overall. Oh, and cold!!
 
That’s really a loss the team seems to have been begging for since the Maine series, so we take it, learn and move on. Hate to lose these chippier games against neighborhood rivals, much like the Oklahoma contests in the Regional a couple years back. Leads me to think that the team doesn’t really respond all that well to Will seemingly losing his sh** and maybe he could learn something from Fred’s sideline demeanor and the confidence it conveys. The good leader is going to presume a degree of poor calls that go against you and roll with it in a more contained manner (especially at 26-6). The Cale call wasn’t that bad, if bad at all, but the emotion was residual from the clear strikes Ryan DIDN’T get an inning or so prior. Onto the opportunity in Eugene!

GBR!

There was way more going on then poor calls. The KU dugout was out of control all night, and the home plate ump chose not to do anything about it. In the 9th they were all over Cleavinger, who is from Lawrence. When Cleavinger gave a little back after getting out of the inning, all the sudden the ump decides to be the enforcer. Will was just protecting his guy. And the inconsistency of the zone in the middle innings was terrible and needed to be addressed. It's not like Will does this often--hardly ever gets ejected, and rarely even goes out aggressively argue anything. I bet if you polled his players today everyone would be fine with it. Huge assumption on your part that one night like this in baseball, with a 60 game season, reflects adversely on leadership qualities. Sometimes you want/need your guy to fight for you.
 
Another argument for Balls and Strikes Robot Umps….

I’m just sooooo tired of the arbitrary calls.

KU hasn’t beaten anyone…so a win against us was big…

However, there is no place in baseball for the BS coming from a dugout.

Umpires have a responsibility to the fans, the teams, and the integrity of the game itself to uphold sportsmanship….

It’s what separates Baseball as a “Family Event”….

Something you can take your kids to and not be embarrassed…

Frustration from a Manager can boil over, emotions are always high, and sometimes it is calculated. That’s from a MANAGER.

Players and dugouts should never be involved in that crap….that simple.

I coached 10 years in probably the most competitive large HS League in Virginia. We ran into that kind of stupid behavior from time to time.

But my teams NEVER did it.

If someone was going to get “mad”….it was me….no one else.

If a kid forgot that…he sat the next game…or more.

My advice was just ignore it like it isn’t there….drives them crazy…and let your bats do the talking….not your mouth.
 
You can draw zero conclusions from that game last night except…

1. We were probably due for losing a close one. The inevitable law of averages…..
2. Middle relief pitching continues to be inconsistent.
3. We were cold at the plate compared to our 11-12 hits game
4. It didn’t “hurt” us at all….overall…….5-3 to a 22-10 team is NOT a “bad loss”

BASEBALL in a nutshell….

MUCH more important…..the Series this weekend.

Let’s go take a series from Oregon….at Oregon…BIG challenge!

GBR!
