Bobby Miller pitched a gem. Sad that the Cards couldn’t hold on losing 2-1 in the rubber match. Won’t show up in the box score but 4 baserunning errors including 2 at home plate resulted in this loss, not Detmers giving up back to back RBI hits.
Yep, no offense today. As many errors as hits. Miller pitched well again but like last week, bullpen, Hoeing and Smiddy could not close out the win. On to a midweek game vs Vanderbilt and then to Boston College. Cards need to get in a groove.
It was there for the taking after Friday's comeback. Idk...but as I've said, the top will have to get going for any success going forward.
I'm guessing Detmers against Vandy. A real shot at a quality road win with this up and comer...if he gets some help.

Good RPI win last night against Vanderbilt. Detmers was solid but as in a few games lately bullpen was shaky allowing Vandy to score some late runs. This time we had enough cushion.
Well, I guess Bordner is having some arm issues. If we can get him back, that might make a big difference. The biggest difference between this team and in years past, is that we do have more quality arms but not the dominant relief pitching. Also this team is not as fundamentally sound having made over 50 errors and that doesn’t include baserunning gaffes. We also don’t have that 15 HR power guy but a few guys that do have pop. This bodes better when you get (if you get) to Omaha with the large field. The main ingredient is pitching and we do have 4-5 quality starters.
Well that is one my pet peeves but unfortunately we are not exclusive in this practice. I have always felt that Williams lets his pitchers throw too many pitches. Funkhouser comes to mind. Recently Bobby Miller threw 121 pitches and wolf has thrown 115.
Ugh. Cards drop the last game to Boston College who I think is 7-20 in the conference. Still got a great performance from Miller, just couldn’t score any runs losing 2-1. Last I heard the Cards are one of the last teams in as an at large but can’t keep losing games like this one.
Well, the Cards did win the series. That would have been far worse, had they not. Regarding projections, the Cards are shown here in the Greenville Regional. Nice opportunity tomorrow against Wright State, who is also projected to be in the post season. They have a good squad.

Well UK beat IU last night 7-6 but don’t know how that factors in. I would prefer a bracket like the one above. Think we could handle ECU and LSU is struggling a bit but always dangerous.
I'm not quite sold on this group, but I'm looking really hard. Great win last night after blowing the 4-1 lead.
I'm with mac though, that it's about getting hot and at the right time. There are some guys that have had struggles that seem to be heating up with the bats. There is enough talent to get me sold.
Stay tuned..
We'll get a better idea next week..

They definitely have the starting pitching to do well in the regionals, but their hitting, defense and bullpen have to be more consistent.
Great comeback win today by the Cards against ND. Miller wasn’t sharp but Stowers crushed 2 HR’s. The last one, a 3 run HR that allowed the cards to take the lead and McAvenue get his 2nd save. Good, gritty win on Senior Day!
I was thinking about the title of this thread and went to examine synonyms of the word moxie.
Heart was smack in the middle of a fairly long list of words that define characteristics of winners.
These somewhat overlooked individuals have overcome their deficiencies to become a unit.
Their best is yet to come, and it's because their desire to win has pushed everything else aside.

I agree. It’s amazing that we were in the game with all the walks and errors. We’re still a young team but can be dangerous. I hope Bordner is able to pitch in the regionals.
