We didn't really throw

[KurtRambis4]

well, tonight. Nonetheless, really big win. Offense played really well.

Also, everyone freaks out when Cohen chews the wrong bubble gum, but never says a word when he knocks it out of the park.

Mike Smith sub? Cody Brown sub? Mangum sub?

Exactly right

Cohen pushed all the correct buttons tonight.

We obviously suck though and he should be fired*****

Kids played well. I thought they were 17ed down 2-0 early.

We needed tonight. I'm more concerned about Sexton and our Sunday matchups than Hudson.

Good win though even at home. No doubt.

Oregon has a team batting average of .203. They can't hit. All we gotta do is throw strikes which (despite Cohen's assertion post game) we did not last night. 8 walks, 2 hbps, and a million wild pitches/passed balls. Offense bailed us out...and Oregon's inability to be competent at the plate.

One more -- and we are right back where we need to be on the season.

We definitely didn't command the zone all that well tonight. Blake Smith struggled for the first time after starting his career looking like the Holder replacement we've been needing.

The offense did more that just "bail us out."

They looked dominant against one of the best pitching staffs in the country.

Even you have to admit that Cohen coached a great game - all of his substitutions worked out perfectly.

Oregon was incredibly reluctant to swing the bat, contributing to lots of walks and strikeouts. We didn't give up many hits at all, I'll take that any day.

 

[rugbdawg]

The offense was great, no doubt and Cohen's subs worked out.

I think that Oregon's offensive game is walks/hbp/bunts. If we can consistently throw strikes against these guys and catch said strikes, we can easily sweep the series. Probably two game series.

Nice win. Good to see the team playing well, and good to see that we really are getting away from being a punch-and-judy team. It's early, but so far I'm liking this team a lot better than any other Cohen team except for 2013. I guess you can hit home runs out of DNF after all.

And yeah, give Cohen credit for the times his moves work. I've always said, he's going to outsmart one of the coaches in the game. Only question is, will it be their coach or ours.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I've been critical of Cohen this year for the first time but that looked like the team we all expected.

 

[engie]

That's the funny thing -- coaches always look like geniuses when players execute...

FAU would have beaten Oregon by 7 or more runs.

 

[99jc]

rugbdog is right this Oregon team cant hit. And we need to throw strikes and qui

FAU would have beaten Oregon by 7 or more runs.

dicking around the strike zone. Our catching tonight was pathetic and could have cost us the Game. Johnny Bench watch list my ***!

 

[KurtRambis4]

No he's not.
