Not really that surprised to see them go 0-4 over the weekend.  The bobcats probably haven't be able to get outside on grass and work on a lot of things.  I'm assuming they have been working out indoors, which is obviously totally different.

As far as the offense is concerned, not too worried about it.  First time probably facing live pitching outdoors.  Considering never probably being outside, i'm impressed we only committed 5 errors over the weekend.  I obviously didn't watch the games, but just going off of the boxscores, I am impressed.  Kind of surprised we could only roll 3 double plays with the amount of baserunners that Furman had however.

what makes me a little nervous is this pitching.  We gave up 47 hits and 22 walks?  I'm assuming the pitchers threw live to hitters in the cages the last several weeks.  The mound is 60'6" down there as well.  Not as much changes going outside really.  I would think we could at least throw more strikes. 

But it is nice to just get that first series out of the way, and also play 4 games on grass

Hopefully things go different next week.

Side note - it must have been a while since I have been on this site.  Where's all the posts?  It appears a server crashed based on other posts.

Anyway - with all due respect to the original poster, what exactly are you impressed about?  Based on the overall stat sheet I am looking at (of course, I did not see the games either), there is not much to be impressed about.

Team batting stats:
.209 BA, .287 OBA, only 6 BB, 11 runs scored, 11 RBI.

The only thing I see good is only 15 strikeouts - that's pretty doggone good over 4 games.


Team pitching stats:
8.72 ERA, 47 hits given up, 22 walks, 7 WP, 2 balks, 35 runs, .343 BA against.

Only one starter got 5 IP, and he gave up 8 R and 10 hits. 

Ouch.

But - I totally agree with you - it's early, and these guys probably (99%) have not been outside yet.  So let's hope they got the rust off and will come out with some passion and fire in their bellys next weekend.

I would like to see how the other MAC teams did in comparison.  I do know that Eastern beat #7 Clemson one time over the weekend.

as i stated, I was surprised we only committed 5 errors over the weekend.

considering they haven't played on grass yet or been on the field, and the amount of action (47 hits), 5 isn't too bad.

Pitching is once again going to determine if this team will be any good...way too many walks in the first series.  They have no chance with that kind of pitching.   It will be interesting to see how they rebound this week....I didn't realize Moulton had surgery again, that is what they said in The Post.  I wonder what it was for this time?  That guy has talent if he can only stay healthy...
