Why does it take multiple 2-strike hits, a couple of extra base hits and then losing the lead before UofL even has a guy throwing in the pen? Really?

Old news.Why does it take multiple 2-strike hits, a couple of extra base hits and then losing the lead before UofL even has a guy throwing in the pen? Really?
Thats all you got? Knap batting 9th? He had 2 hits. Payton, McCoy, Forbes and Benson 0-14. That last ball was headed in the gap..Cards bats are cold in this game. There's only been 3 or so hard hit balls.
I've been controversial before here about the lineup yet it still seems obvious to me.
Knapp should bat 9th. He comes up with runners on and there's almost no chance for an extra base hit. No way he should lead off on a team with so many better options.
ND was successful pitching junk. Hardly a Cardinal was overpowered. The Cards hitters didn't adjust and it was mostly all soft contact. It just looked like we weren't interested. Very disappointing.
Third time through was the issue last Friday too.Hawks in need of a third pitch.
My opinion is not on this game today alone. I felt this way last season but I understand why McDonnell didn't want to upset the apple cart. He's a good spray hitter that rarely strikes out.Thats all you got? Knap batting 9th? He had 2 hits. Payton, McCoy, Forbes and Benson 0-14. That last ball was headed in the gap..
I would add that it might have been more of a case of ND getting up to play us. They have been struggling and a top 6 team (depending on what poll you look at) comes in and their players step up. It happens a lot in baseball.Yeah, it's not crazy to think the guys don't always show up. Long season and all that,it is important how they respond to adversity.
It's still March and we've already won 18 games without really being the best version we can be. Just keep scratching out wins.
This is definitely true and yet they scored only 4 runs. Cards should take care of business these next two games. They are so much better than the Irish.I would add that it might have been more of a case of ND getting up to play us.

It happened last Saturday with GA Tech and then again the next day with us.It happens a lot in baseball.
Probably the doggone windSeeing that the game is postponed today. Double header tomorrow starting at 11am
Knapp responding with a homer. Got to give it to him, he's a hard worker who wants to be a great baseball player.
