Nixon has to develop. If Pierce is going to stick with him, we need him to start having more command of his pitches.

Seems like the team woke up after that little exchange of words between Faltine and their pitcher.

Didn't read the whole game thread but do we know what that was about?

Swap him and Quintanilla? Let Nixon be the emergency man and Quintanilla be the closer?

I'd be ok with that.  I think Quintanilla has more maturity and nerve. Not knocking Nixon, but he just needs a tad more growth.

Nixon allows too many baserunners as a closer. 

His control isn’t there. Too many hittable pitches. 

I'd also like to see Quintanilla be given the chance to expand his role a bit. Maybe a midweek or Sunday start or an opportunity to close.

Whitt seems perfect for a dude you bring in in the 7th or 8th and he shuts em down. But yeah Whitt in that middle relieve slot with Nixon at set up and Quintanilla closing. Also surely Hanson is gonna be the Sunday starter in a or 2, right? Kub is fine and all but I’d rather see him on Tuesdays

Also for fucks sake. Move Kennedy to center and Campbell to left. Permanently. Antico has looked like shit since pretty much the byu series. And more ab’s for Powell, Geib, Porter and Whitt plzzz

Antico has been a major let down. Guy looks nothing like a former All American and its not even close.

I was tempted to write, "Yeah, I guess it was different facing Villanova pitching..," but St. John's played some pretty good non-con competition last year (GA Tech, Kennesaw, Charlotte, Cal, UNLV).  I didn't delve into it more than that, but yeah, any way you look at it, he's been disappointing.

KU pitcher has put up some impressive stats so far this year, but he hasn't faced Mike Antico.

Never figured that out

According to the announcer, Ty Madden Is the only difference between these two teams

Stevens pounded the zone that inning.

Yep, made quick work of them.

Leadoff single for Hodo, sac bunt by Antico.

  • Author

Faltine and Kennedy follow with singles. 2-0

  • Author

Good news: 2 runs scored and KU hurler around 50 pitches.

Bad news: already 4 LOB.

  • Author

Hodo scorched that ball right to the CF. He's had some good swings. We've worked 60 pitches in 3innings out of the KU starter.

  • Author

No one flies out just short of the warning track like Antico.

  • Author

3 easy fly balls and fewer than 10 pitches in the top of the fourth. Weak.

  • Author

KU guy with sub-.700 OPS has crushed the ball both times

  • Author

Stevens gets the worst hitter in the conference to ground out to end the threat. Still 2-0 after 4.

Very curious what someone who plays the game the wrong way looks like to surfer bro analyst.

  • Author

Horrible swing on a 2-0 pitch ends the inning. Let this guy off the ropes with 4 LOB in the first two innings 

I feel like I'm listening to Spicoli call this game.   

Spectacular Bid talk not going away

Leadoff double by Melendez.  Need to make it pay off.

Excellent AB for Melendez - lead-off double.
