Mentality that causes people to freak out over every L in other sports where it’s nearly impossible to go unbeaten or to even get close (Oklahoma has been a unicorn in this sport for a few years) I think the discussion about hoping we aren’t long term hurting (Castine) or scarred psychologically (Lemley) can have validity BUT it can also be premature hand-wringing These 5 game in 3 days events are taxing on pitchers and I’d also say young players too (yes they play tons in travel ball BUT this is a different beast of a level) We’re in a good spot if we TCB vs Illinois State today ** Edited by hokiepro at 2/18/2024, 7:19:05 AM ** Edited by hokiepro at 2/18/2024, 7:20:14 AM
