We're a victim of our own success here. Gotten spoiled with the teams we've had recently and the near misses we've had. Now the spoiled brat section of our fanbase is whining like infants.

I don’t think it is as bad they make it sound concerning the fans but they were talking big before the season. Add that to all listed above and the fact they are 5-5 in the last 10 and of course there will be angst. Hey. At least folks still give a shit.

Like Nolan said - you gotta feed the monster

I don’t think DVH is mad, he is just defending his players who are probably need to spend more time in the cage or hunt center than on social media.

This is the same group he challenged in the press a couple weeks ago when. He said they weren’t special and need to get better.

Expectations are high for the Hogs after a string of successfull seasons under head coach Dave Van Horn who says, “We’re going to be every bit as electric as we’ve been the last couple years.”

Add to that the hefty raise in scholarship donations required to get season tickets, and you have more people expecting a higher return on their investment.

And the flipping of seats

I’m not down on the team. My expectations have just been adjusted to the reality of their performance. They aren’t shitty, they just aren’t as good as I, and many others, thought they would be. If they can get out of a regional I would consider that a success for this team considering what I have seen most of the season. Any thing more and it is gravy.

Ramage in to pitch in the bottom of the fifth and almost gives up a HR on the first pitch. Caught at the wall. And goes three up three down. Nice.

Scoreboard graphic person can’t add.

Need to put a 5 not a 2 in the 5th frame.

Who are these announcers?

Son_of_Spam · « **Reply #34 on:** May 19, 2022, 07:44:14 PM »

Looks like about 50 people at the game.

WTF was Lanzilli doing? Hell, the catcher was about to throw the ball back to the pitcher before Lanzilli took off.

It's called a delayed steal. We do it quite often.

Dead ball strike sounds like

Barton Fink · « **Reply #39 on:** May 19, 2022, 08:06:34 PM »

That did not hit him.

Was it a strike?
Listening to Phil who implies if you don’t get out of the way of the pitch it is an out. Wtf?

Barton Fink · « **Reply #41 on:** May 19, 2022, 08:10:32 PM »

If it was a strike it was borderline.

bleedinred · « **Reply #42 on:** May 19, 2022, 08:11:07 PM »

It’s so weird watching a game and not seeing any fans behind the plate or behind the dugouts when they give the side shot of the batter.

I know. We should stop.

Gregory watches more pitches go right down the middle and then acts shocked they get called a strike than any player I can remember.

goporkyourself · « **Reply #45 on:** May 19, 2022, 08:18:32 PM »

Gregory goes down on 3 pitches in the exact same spot on the outside corner. Doesn’t swing the bat once.

Son_of_Spam · « **Reply #46 on:** May 19, 2022, 08:18:34 PM »

We have to be the leading team that watches strikes right down the middle.

hogsrunwild · « **Reply #47 on:** May 19, 2022, 08:20:12 PM »

Moore is a liability at the plate

Gotta stay fresh for games 2 and 3.

It is like he goes up there expecting to walk every time. Or get HBP.
