A disappointing loss, but I don't think we really had much of a shot against Appel. We're just not a team that's going to throw up 8 runs per game. French performed admirably. Hopefully we hit the lefty tomorrow better.

Bruce thanks for keeping us updated tonight! Lets hope the bats come alive the rest of the weekend..........

Post Game. Coach Garrido--' Our players played really hard, never gave away our identity. It sounds like an excuse, that's why I'm stammering. The kind of hits are like the last 4 games. Our pitcher pitched like Youngman. Staying within themselves. Battled right up until the end. Don't let anybody take away your identity. To try harder than you can. Look at the plays they made defensively. 15 SOs , could have been 20. Parker pitched out of the 3 errors, every time. This is a team of very young players in the batting order. Our goal at the end of the month, is to take a pitcher of this quality, and beat him.'

The concern many has with Augie is his offensive philsophy - how in the world can you win ball games without scoring?

Just hope the bats will surprise and come to life tomorrow

Start of another 0-3 weekend?

Can't remember the last time I watched a UT game where a bunt was not even attempted. That's how bad the hitters were dominated by Appel.

good pitching outing...I feel fairly confident our staff is CWS material. The issue is the hitting as everyone knows. My question is not move Ben JOhnson into the lineup in place of the number hole hitter in CF.

Agree with everything in your post. I think Stell could be Stubbs like in center, and I want to see more of Johnson.

Agreed, Hochstatter(3.18) is 1 of 2 Stanford pitchers with an era over 2. Their team era is a pretty salty 1.80.
