We better handle Central Connecticut otherwise folks will be calling for Avent to step down and retire.
I think we will beat CCU but just saying it will get ugly even before the 7th-8th inning if we are on a path to lose that game.

Hope we shake things up today. Move Head back to leadoff, followed by decriscio, then hogue, McHugh, Novy at DH, then Sosa, Nixon, Jaros and Fraasman. Can't start Heavner again when you need to hit and score more runs. I know we won't change things up because EA is a creature of habit, especially late in the season, but need to hit the reset button at the plate - we absolutely have to get out of this slump and start scoring some runs.
Ready for our first meeting with Central Connecticut.

Well glad we are trying something different today! Hopefully we find a spark on offense. Don't like Sosa at 4 but actually like Nixon ahead of Novy. Maybe someone will actually be on base for one of his bombs today! LFG!!!!pack2010 said:ChemE94 said:

Let's be honest. It doesn't matter when this team loses people are going to call for blood.

Absolutely ridiculous - if you are going to roll with Andrews as an ACC weekend starter all year and don't think he's good enough to take care of C CT #2 we've been lied to all year. And for what reason? I don't know.

Odds are low. We have to win 4 effing games. It really doesn't matter that marohn is going today⦠just need a damn win.

The goal is to win the regional. When you lose the first one; you have to take some sort of gamble/risk to get out of the weekend. Marohn pitching today is the opposite of that.
ETA: IMO, the only way this plays out somewhat positively is if Ryan throws a CG

I disagree. The way this team is playing, you have to go all in and win and build some mo. So I have no problem with marohn today. Hated likely burning van dam yesterday as he could have provided 3-4 innings in a start though.
