this year. But with the way things are going, it wouldn't be worth the time.
The non-existent offense would be tolerable if they could at least play good defense. There's just no excuse for playing such fundamentally bad baseball.

Planning to see us play in Charleston this weekend but

it maybe a bad scene. The competition isn't first rate so maybe we can get our act together.
News flash...were not first rate *

Swarby will excuse the defense based on "outside" time

In other words, a built in excuse for not catching the ball is that ND is a cold weather team, despite the several days they practiced outside in February due to nice weather (on Field Turf) and the use of Loftus....you can view videos of simulated games/scrimmages on the twitter feed....oh, and since so many colleges are playing on field turf outdoors now, I'm not sure how indoor Field Turf is different than outdoor, but don't let that stop you.

I guarantee at some point you'll hear the excuse that ND wasn't outside enough to play good defense....
