For those of us unable to watch - fielding blunders aside - what has been up with our bats...is it really good looking pitching? Anxious in the box? Just baseball?

SDSU has had some good pitching, but a lot of just baseball.  We have hit the ball hard more often that not tonight, but just can't find a hole.

[BroyledNutts]

Stretch time ...

THIS. IS. BASEBALL.

[ucahogfan]

Pinch hitting for the Aztecs is Freshman Isaiah Parra.

[Knot2brite]

BOLD Statement:our first national championship in baseball

I feel bold today

[Sho Nuff]

I know it's early, but everyone we have played not named Bucknell has held our bats in check.  Hoping we bust out of this in grand fashion.  Too much talent on this team to be hitting like this.

[ucahogfan]

Parra blown away by a fastball.  Cronin's 2nd K and 9th K for Hog pitching tonight.

Freshman RHP Kole Ramage is up and throwing in the pen.

[ucahogfan]

Maekawa grounds out 6-3.

Bucknell did it for one game

[ucahogfan]

Escobedo blown away by the high cheddar.  Cronin's 3rd K is the 10th for the Hogs tonight.

[bosshog84]

Cronin getting the benefit on a couple calls there

[BroyledNutts]

Strike zone has widened late, but Cronin was just filthy that inning ...

[ucahogfan]

Freshman Matt Rudick now playing LF for the Aztecs and replaces the pinch hitter Parra.

My 2 peso's...we're playing in an  unfamiliar climate against teams that are close to home and more used to it.  That may explain our issues at the plate but the errors are killing us.

[TebowHater]

Bucknell did it for one game

We used up too many hits/runs during the first two games. I guess the law of averages is striking hard.

[SPAL]

Crooked number this inning....count on it

[ucahogfan]

Biggers punches a leadoff single between the SS and 3B into LF.

[ucahogfan]

Biggers steals 2B as the C double clutches as Cole swung.  Biggers' 1st SB of the year.  Runner on 2B with 0 outs.

[ucahogfan]

Biggers moves to 3B on a WP thrown in Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn territory.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

We're in business now! Let's get the bats rolling.

[SPAL]

If we don't get biggers home, we deserve a loss.

[ucahogfan]

Cole taps one back to the P for a 1-3 groundout.  Biggers has to hold at 3B.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

If we don't get biggers home, we deserve a loss.

100%

We've got to get some frickin clutch hits.

[ucahogfan]

Fletcher draws his 3rd walk of the game to put runners on the corners with 1 out as Bonfield steps in.

[ucahogfan]

Meeting on the mound for SDSU.

[TebowHater]

Fletcher draws his 3rd walk of the game to put runners on the corners with 1 out as Bonfield steps in.

Don't love this. Bonny is an ideal DP candidate. Wish you could decline a walk, lol

[Razorbacks#1]

Calling the HOGS!

[Amityvillehogger]

Don't love this. Bonny is an ideal DP candidate. Wish you could decline a walk, lol

Steal 2nd

[SPAL]

You already know what's about to happen

[elksnort]

Notice on the CST box on the screen the Bluefield is underneath Arkansas

[Waldron_Hog]

2 run double to the gap?

[ucahogfan]

Bonfield caught looking on a pitch that looked to be low and away.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Bonfield caught looking on a pitch that looked to be low and away.

Criminy, guys. Adjust.

[JHicks3636]

Time for Kjerstad to build on his reputation.

[ucahogfan]

The Aztecs are IBBing Freshman Kjerstad to load the bases for RS Senior Shaddy with 2 outs.

[TebowHater]

Alright, Carson. Make em pay.

[jst01]

Gimme a bloop.

[JHicks3636]

Gutsy to walk Kjerstad to get to Shaddy. I hope it backfires.

[SPAL]

Strategy makes zero sense

[ucahogfan]

Strategy makes zero sense

Rictheson is a RHP with a nasty slider.

[jst01]

Pitcher a righty?

[ucahogfan]

Shaddy grounds out 6-3 to end the top half of the 8th.

[PigWig]

SMH

[Dr. Starcs]

Our fielding and hitting is comical at this point. Making us look silly.

[Maddhog]

frustrating 

[TebowHater]

Guess we deserve to lose. Hope Cronin keeps dealing

[Oliver]

If we don't get biggers home, we deserve a loss.

Shaddy grounds out 6-3 to end the top half of the 8th.

That's just bad fundamental baseball.  You have to get that runner in from third with the meat of our lineup.
