The Spartans (22-19, 8-7) come to Latham Park for the weekend series. Elon should have their normal weekend rotation in place. Could use a sweep here....

Already lost 1 to UNCG. So that is 5 conference losses in a row. We are officially falling below expectations and are at the level of the 2004 team.
You guys want to tell me to shut up. Fine, keep doing it. But you glass half full people can't keep painting a rosy picture out of this year.

That was a horrifying effort. Hensley let the ump's call get in his head and it killed this night. This was horrible and these guys deserved to be booed out of Latham tonight.
With that being said, we aren't at 2004 levels yet. Don't start antagonizing, Adam. I am not satisfied with this season. This team has underachieved somewhat badly...
But every win and loss doesn't dictate my life. Thats not called painting a rosy picture...thats called rolling with the punches and realizing that some days you HAVE TO TAKE IT AS A GAME. Am I mad? You should have seen me after the game. That dies in about five minutes, though. I think I'm beyond the point where this is life or death.
People aren't trying to paint a rosy picture here. They just aren't willing to beat themselves up over this. They can get mad and I can tell you for a fact that people are mad. Our expectations are always high. But there is a line.

Way to rebound and take the series. The team has won 4 of their last 5 after the sweep at Western. The C of C series next weekend should be a good one.
Go Phoenix!

I was mad listening to the game. After that, big deal other than it sort of sucky overall. I guess the big thing is we are running the risk of falling below App in the standings. And that, at least to me, is a huge point of contention with this team.
Sure, they've underachieved big time. And the pitchers don't seem to be panning out like everyone would want. And I thought Hensley would have gotten himself under control by now, but I guess not.
It just all seems to be about consistency. In looking at the box scores and listening to the games.... it is just hard for me to see that the guy have really clicked in every aspect of a game outside of the big App win we had. Outside if that, it just seems like they are going through the motions so to speak.

Of all the people to bash in your post, you bash a pitcher who is 7-3 with a 3.81 ERA? The UNCG game was a bad outing and UVA was bad, but outside of that he's the last person anyone should be criticizing.
I think the future for the rotation looks promising. Romanowicz has improved over the course of the season as well.
Go Phoenix!

Well said. Hensley has had a great year. Adam, Why were you mad listening to the game? I assume you are talking about the first game and not Sunday's game. Seems to me like all you care about is being better than App. We still have the SoCon tournament and who knows what will happen there. Don't give up on the team yet.

Hensley would have gotten himself under control by now?
He's had more quality starts than bad starts....much more. Hensley was flirting with having his ERA going below 3 before this start. He's fine. It was the others. Booker's now getting his stuff going as this past Sunday was evidence of that...he still isn't perfect, but he has improved. Romo is having a solid year. The mid-week starters have improved as well. The bullpen is a bit of a bit of an issue, but honestly, I thought it was going to be a much bigger issue than this.

Adam, I'm still waiting to see you post one positive comment on this board. Unfortunately I've started just skipping your posts entirely because every post is the same (only the details are different). We're mom & pop, players don't care, fans are happy with mediocrity, we don't have any funding, etc. Mix in a little variety every once in a while.
Remember, this is a baseball team that has won every conference series but one this year.

Then apparently you can't read.
Not happy with what I have to say, then skip it. What's the purpose to say you're skipping it if not just to cause even more negativity than what you claim I am spewing.
I get it, some of you guys want to be optimists. I get that. I respect that. Heck, I did that for 13 years. But I am a pessimist now.
So, if you guys want to have a slap on the back, tough loss but thanks for the effort. That's your deal, but I am free to complain about the situation as much as your free to like the current situation.

No, I want us to win the SoCon, but considering the amount of smack all of our fans have given App about baseball the past 3 years.... finishing behind them this year would be a severe step backwards for the fans and our program.
