So, why take Williams out when he struck out 2 batters in top of ninth?

To put in another freshmen pitcher? Why not let the kid finish the inning? He’s doing his job.

It's difficult to figure why many things are done. I just don't understand this game anymore. This team seems to have lost its will to win. No improvement since Game 1. I also don't know the answer to our problems but hope someone does.

Why hasn't he had more chances all year. Obviously not in practice watching him pitch but he sure has done great the few chances he's got. Hindsight is 20 20 and I know you had to replace askew... But I'm not sure I would have. Askew has started slow but he does tend to get better as the game goes on.

Bigger question is this. Is Sharpe hurt still? Obviously the coaches think he's ready to pitch or he wouldn't be getting these opportunities. Wish I knew if that injury has gotten him down or if he's just regressed that much.

Something was going on with Askew tonight. When the players/pitchers went over to Jervey pregame Askew hung way behind all the rest of the players. He looked like something was wrong. I mentioned this to some other folks after the game and they saw it too. Something just was not right, I thought well he is just getting his game face on. I noticed when the game started and he was on the mound there was that same type thing going on with him. I don't know what it was maybe it was nothing. Some mentioned it seemed like he had an attitude about something.

That is strange. You'd think if it was personal issues or something to that nature, he'd been pulled. It is odd. Something was definitely off because he usually doesn't get hit that bad and does tend to settle down after the first inning or so.
