I'm a little lost with no hoops on a Thursday, so I thought I'd point out that we have an 11-game baseball homestand starting tomorrow vs Grand Canyon.

GCU seems to be a competitive club. They play in the WAC. Last year they went 36-24, which included a rather lopsided loss to Stanford at their place. This year they are 5-3, which includes winning 2 of 3 from what was #22 Oklahoma State, winning 1 against Oregon, and then in a tournament taking 2 from Fordham but losing twice to Cal State Northridge. This series will be their first games away from their home field.

Eight games in and nobody has more than 6 hits? Team batting is below .200 and slugging is .276? Ouch.

Yeah, the team is struggling at the moment. It was entirely clear that the hitting was going to struggle to start the season. I wasn't expecting the equal disaster fielding the ball. So far the team has committed 16 errors and allowed 21 unearned runs.

If you want bright spots, well ...
- Soph Williams has pitched pretty well with an ERA of 0.71 in two starts (12.2 innings).
- Soph Kretzschmar has had two (but only two) solid starts at 2B (hitting 0.600).
- Frosh Hinkelman is hitting 0.385 in a reasonable amount of action (3 starts), slg 0.692. Has also had some hard outs.
That's all I got.
