poor result? who cares! beating upstate doesn't get us into the tournament. These guys just played their butts off this past weekend and winning against buttstate is the last thing on their minds. For those of you who don't understand the modern day midweek non conference game let me lay it out for you.
1. a chance to get some pitchers some work wether it be a good or bad outing it doesn't matter
2. A waste of time for position players who have already played just about every inning of every game this year and know in the back of their mind it doesn't matter if you win or lose this game except to the people on this forum.
3. Its also a chance for some guys who don't get to play get a few at bats or plays in the field.
The last part is where I have a problem with the coaching. If it were me I would have sat my starters or at least a few of them to give them a break. We need these guys fresh for the weekend and the following series. Thats just my opinion and Coach I isn't the only one that does things this way.
A midweek game against a team that doesn't matter isn't a game that I care about. Not now and not when I was a player did I give a flip about playing someone outside the conference except the fact that I had a chance to rest and give a guy who doesn't play an opportunity. Let's just take care of business this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!
