Hope they can keep it "close" Learned today that I get ACCN now. Just turned it on and saw back to back bad errors by 3rd basemen, sandwiched between a double steal to make it 6-0 Duke. 4 errors already.. wonder if baseball has a mercy rule update. 3 errors by the same guy in the inning Edited March 20 by TuTigers2012 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just turned it on and saw back to back bad errors by 3rd basemen, sandwiched between a double steal to make it 6-0 Duke. 4 errors already.. wonder if baseball has a mercy rule update. 3 errors by the same guy in the inning I watched most of that game last night. We are lucky that it took 8 innings before the mercy rule took effect. At the on set it looked like the game would only last 5 innings. Look we were not beating Duke, but watching that game I kind of wonder how they won 4 games. Beginning of the game the starting Duke pitcher got 6 outs on 12 pitches, where it took our guy 30 pitches to get 3 outs. We had 5 total errors, 3 by the third baseman in the same inning which TuTigers2012 eluded to. I think it should have been 6 errors but generous home scoring on one. 8 total walks, 3 hit batters, 4 wild pitches. On to another issue. First pitch last night was around 7:00 PM in Durham, NC. Game ended around 9:30 PM. It takes about 5 hours and 20 minutes according to Google Maps to go from Duke to Towson. Assuming they were on the road at say 10:15 PM they probably got back to Towson at around 3:45 AM and back into their dorms/apartments at around 4:15 AM. Plenty of time for these "student athletes" to get some rest, go to class (hahahaha) and then get ready for their 3:00 PM home game against GW today. Who set up this schedule?

TuTigers2012 1,071 Report post Posted April 8 As many bad results come from the team, gotta give them props when they win. Took 2 out of 3 against Hofstra last weekend and then won one against preseason favorite NE this weekend. "OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
