Defense again looks like a HS team. The Cards are just not focused in these midweek games against lower level schools.

Seriously, do you ever report positive stuff/posts?Error by the pitcher Seed on a pick off and error on Humphrey.
Don't know what Payton is doing. I've not seen him take this many bad swings in one game all year.
Why does this concern you? Seriously? You think I'm some kind of fake Cards fan? You the positive/negative police?Seriously, do you ever report positive stuff/posts?
Errors, I understand. We make too many. I was responding to comments like “we play like a HS team” and “we better score 10+ runs if we want to win this game”. A lot of optimism there.Realville was responding to my question about the 2 errors committed by UofL. The statements about the defense are pretty valid. I mean, are they terrible defensively? No. Are they as good as what we are used to? No.
I like what we are seeing from some relievers. Webster, Walters, Galvan, Gundy, Weigman - all of these guys are showing some flashes of improvement (I am sure Iect someone out there). Riley needs to get right. We need a solid weekend guy besides Poland. This weekend - pray for good weather (not looming great right now). Cards need wins v Clemson this weekend as they have IU, Vandy, Va Tech and UVA all on the horizon. Tech and UVA on the road are going to be tough.
It's not feigning optimism. It's called being supportive. The Cards are 28-12. Their fielding percentage is .970. The best fielding team, Oregon State, has a fielding percentage of .988. The worst fielding team, Alcorn State, has a fielding percentage of .906. So, while you think the Cards aren't any good in that regard, they actually are. They have 44 errors. The team with the most amount of errors, Norfolk State, has 91. Oregon State, the team with the least amount of errors, has 18. Make of those stats what you will. It's clear, though, constant, and I do mean constant criticism, is unwarranted. We all would like perfection. That's not going to happen.What exactly is optimism to you? To me it's possibilities being realized if the correct things are done. If the team I root for does this I will be optimistic going forward.
However, if the team continues to make the same mistakes, I will not be so confident and I may just go to a forum board and communicate with other people about it.
What purpose is it to feign optimism?
Obviously we are better than a high school team or maybe you don’t know better and why don’t you wait until we do score a bunch of runs to come back and win the game, which we have done several occasions? You make it sound like we’re not capable. I choose to be positive, you’re negative, I got it..What exactly is optimism to you? To me it's possibilities being realized if the correct things are done. If the team I root for does this I will be optimistic going forward.
