One of those games when the University of Louisville players are unable to get the bats off their shoulders, this one denying U of L a NCAA Regional baseball championship. Handcuffed by the mysterious and little used Richie Goodenow allowing Louisville only two hits and four base runners.
These kind of games seem to happen on Sundays, the sleepwalking, the going through the motions.
Dan McDonnell is back Monday. All hands on deck.

Goodenow is not a starter but he is hardly “little used” – that was his 29th game of the season
Only 41 innings, however. Hardly the go-to pitcher.
That’s baseball folks…one pitcher can wreck you whole day!!
We are a fastball hitting team. Off speed junk is not our forte. Thank goodness Vandy doesn’t have a knuckleballer.
My goodness, weren’t we totally passive and disinterested!….I think the term is STUNK IT UP.
Given the opportunity with virtually everything in their favor, the Cards really ought to be ashamed of that performance.
I would not want to be around when this lackluster disaster incurs the wrath of one very unhappy Irishman who has been cooped up for three days. If the Cards think Coach Mac was in a bad mood when Umpire Mike Shields baited him and cussed at him at the Big East Tourney they ain’t see nothin’…..yet.
I couldn’t believe how poorly the Cards played today…they just looked disinterested. Hopefully with Coach Mac in the dugout tomorrow, they’ll play better. OR ELSE they’re gone! Go CARDS
