This is indisputable. UH outfielders were laughing each inning and they jogged off.

I don't think you should stop swinging for the fence just because the balls and bats are rigged. It's the lack of discipline in tough situations that frustrates me. All we needed was one run, and everybody decided to play HeroBall.

You can't change the stripes on a tiger (figuratively speaking), but when it was 4-4, you had to play with more common sense. If he gives you something you can rip into the outfield for a base hit, do it. Don't try to hit the ball 900 feet. Manufacture a run. You only need one.

I don't think you should do this in the first inning or maybe even in the middle of a ball game if that's not who you are. But too much was on the line to go caveman there.

Weenieball sucks, but that's what works in college baseball these days.
