Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
I hate to move Marks to Sunday, but we probably have to. I like Marks on Tuesday, feel like he could improve our Tuesday record from prior years.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
Until we get into conference play, a competitive game on Tuesday against significantly better competition is more important than throwing one of our weekend-quality pitchers on Sunday.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
Good thing is it looks like we have Marks Tibbett and DiRito as options to fill Sunday and Tuesday.
A little worried about or baths this year. We’re not exactly hitting bad pitching to start.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
I think we'll be fine once Zamora gets going. He's left a ton of guys on, but we all know what he can do. The young catchers have also been struggling at the plate, but Walker has had a good day in first game of the year. Maybe it's finally his time to shine.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
Xuereb’s inability to turn a double play proving costly in the top of the seventh. 8-6 App with SIU still batting.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
No reason to not let Clark pitch the 8th after getting out of a jam in the 7th.
Interesting bringing the closer in for 6 outs.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
Pull him. You can’t throw your closer for 6 outs this early in the season.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
It looks like we won in B9 but the live stream ended at exactly the 4 hour mark. I can't believe we have a setup to automatically cut the feed after a certain amount of time.

A win is a win!
Could be 0-7…could be way worse.
Yes- I am keeping a Stink tracker.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
I did not like the usage of our bullpen today - 1 out for Wilson, 1 for Clark, and wanting your closer to go 2 innings. Too much stress on your staff when you do that.
It's ridiculous to lose the feed in the 9th inning like that also.
I did like that we got the win, and that's what matters in the end.

Haha my neighbor is tearing down their house so I thought they cut the ATT cable.

Fooled me.
Glad we got the W. Would love to see the single? bunt? to 3rd that won it.
A sweep!
Beat ETSU.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
Yep, it cut out right at 5 p.m. with a runner on first.
Some bullpen guys are too cute with their off-speed stuff. Just throw strikes and by baseball averages, it'll work 70% of the time.

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread
To be fair, the coaches call the pitches. But, absolutely just throw strikes! I would like to see more fastballs, especially against teams that probably can’t hit them.
