Walks, I hate'em. It's amazing how many times a walk, with no outs, ends up scoring.

Also, that's 2 misplayed bunts in this game. That's the thing about 'small ball' it makes players think more than just reacting. More opportunity for a s<rew up.

How in the world do you let a 11-6 lead slip away against an Atlantic Sun team?

Anyone wanna guess what the problem position of this Rebel team's gonna be? Anyone? How about PITCHING!
