That would mean we go 25-3 the rest of the season at Turchin. I'd sign on for that in a heartbeat. 19-5 in AAC play would get us a regional as well.

A bit early for these prognostications!

BEAT ARMY!

Army sure is playing a pesky game, it seems they come back with a run every time Tulane scores in the later stages of this game.

I sure wish at the least we had Graf to listen to. I'm watching hockey (Rangers-Caps) and keeping an eye on the live stats. Lots of sports on TV today as the snow storm approaches. The Honda Classic, Tulane vs. Temple and the hockey game.

6-5 Wave going to the top of the 9th. We're the visiting team.

Unreal. A one run lead in the ninth, and we give up a walk, 2 stolen bases, a wild pitch for the tying run to score, then two more walks and an error to score the winning run. Wave loses one to Army, 7-6.

Army ties it with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th without a hit. A one out walk, two stolen bases, a groundout followed by a wild pitch. Army scratches out another run, final score: Army 7, Tulane 6.

This is the toughest loss to date, IMHO.

Just pitiful. Only Tulane can find a way to lose a ballgame by giving up two runs in the bottom of the ninth without allowing a hit. Hard to figure.

Disappointing loss today to the Cadets, but let’s look at the big picture, since above all this is baseball, after 12 games we are still 9-3. :D

My early take is that we're a better hitting team than last season, but we still have the same problems defensively. Untimely walks and errors from the bullpen. If I'm correct, all three of the games we've lost we were ahead or tied after 6 innings.

Terrible loss. Nothing else to say. 3 walks and 2 E’s in the 9th. Not good.

I actually kinda like that I'm upset about a "bad" neutral ground 1 run loss. It means that there's hope in this program.

It's too early to tell if they can maintain the early energy, but the next series against a very game UCSB squad will tell us more.

Would love to have gotten the sweep. There's lots of room for improvement. They have our attention. Hopefully they keep it.

Win, who were the two guys doing the radio broadcast? I missed their names on all 3 days although I did enjoy hearing Coach Jones on Friday.

In spite of that horrible loss yesterday, we are starting to catch people's attention. Coaches poll now has us ranked at #39. Now, if we could only meet the predictions of warren nolan, we'd be in great shape, as their computer predicts us to win our next 30 CONSECUTIVE GAMES!!

Also, if you actually count up the wins and losses on the individual games, it comes to 50-6, not 47-9. FWIW (not much, I know)

This loss overwhelmingly on the pitching coach as our pitcher was shakey all three innings . Never should have been sent out for the eighth .
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .

He’s on the team but it doesn’t seem he’ll get any innings. Must be the yips or something similar

I thought I read that he pitched pretty well in one of the summer leagues last summer?
