4 pitch walk loads the bases, 1 out ... Reyes is relieved by Seeburger Grand Slam ... Nevada up 9-0, 1 out top of the 4th inning I'm done watching this game, sorry Sorry to say, but his is another example of Sterk promoting in staff coaches to the head position and this is the result. He went outside for the womens volleyball coach and the jury is out with that move. The same can be said about the womens basketball coach. God help us if he has the sole power when it comes to Rocky's replacement. I just don't trust him to make the right hire as evidenced by his moves at Wazzu. His forte is fund raising, but wouldn't a collection of successful programs make it that much easier? We can't rely on just MBB. Hirshman needs to step in to stop this nonsense or we'll forever remain the infamous sleeping giant.

Nevada up 9-0, 1 out top of the 4th inning I'm done watching this game, sorry I 10-run-ruled myself out of the ballpark. Problem was, by the time I left the ballpark, Nevada had scored another 3 runs. A weekend to forget.

Is Nevada really that good? Are they known for having a strong baseball program? Getting killed like this at home is just bad.

Never thought we would get swept.

Wow. Couldn't get out this weekend. Very surprised at both the results and the scores. We got our backsides kicked in all phases. And, at home. We will see if this group can rebound and get back to playing some good ball.

I went to my first SDSU baseball game in several years Sunday. Hard to find time to get down there from Poway. Boy, I know how to pick 'em. I left in the 7th as we were trailing, 15-2. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought we were having a pretty good year but what I saw was a mess. Even the hot dog was bad.

I have followed this team all season and Mark Martinez is doing a good job -- every team has their ups and downs when they play 4-5 games a week throughout the season. The problem in this series if you read through the threads was our bullpen. Normally the strongest part of our team ... they collectively laid an egg that our offense could not overcome. Sure there were some instances when a pitcher could have been pulled earlier, but you have to balance a move in a single game vs. the effect on the entire series. Exactly how familiar are you with the sport of baseball, the Aztecs & Coach M? Are you just jumping on a bad series to spout non-sense?

It's been a pattern over the years so what does that tell you? Go to GOAZTECS and check out the archives of past schedules/results. They need to get over the hump like win the MWC, win at least one postseason series for starters. We should be dominating the MWC since the San Diego area is loaded with good recruits, even after those who choose to go pro instead of college.
I've been following baseball probably longer than you've been alive. As for Aztec baseball, I've followed it since the Dietz days and stopped a few years ago. Now I only take a cursory glance at the scores. This school's past and present admin has never taken this sport as seriously as it should. Is Coach M the real deal or is he another Rocky Long, meaning good enough but not good enough to take it higher? Was last year an aberration or can Martinez meet or exceed it? Show me, then I'll buy.

"The problem in this series if you read through the threads was our bullpen." Actually, the problem was there wasn't an effective starter the entire weekend. Derby was the most effective starter--he went into the 6th inning, but gave up 6 earned runs (7 total). Seyler couldn't throw a strike on Saturday, and everything Reyes through up there yesterday turned into hits and runs. The BP wasn't good, but the starters put the Aztecs into holes they couldn't get out of. All in all, a weekend to forget.

I also didn't hang around to see just how bad the bullpen was, as I left early all 3 games. And I think they dug a hole AND laid an egg in it.

Horrible weekend of baseball.Martinez is a good coach.The last two seasons have been better than 10 or 12 years prior.Before we would barely finish above 500 or have 20-25 wins total and lose in every conference tourney in 2 or 3 games even with Strasburg we would lose 1-0 lol.The last three or four years there has been more player development\redshirting than I have ever seen with Tony as the coach.Robards is missing from the roster this year and I can not find that he transfered so expect him next year.Look at the roster and there are 5 players redshirting which SDSU has done the last three years so things are getting better and google the 2016 recruiting class probably top 20.

How can one bad series in a sport like baseball cause such a frustrated response. Season is still going right? I played for Dietz and Gwynn, Martinez is def a better skipper than one, but probably both.

I'm glad to hear Martinez is the better skipper than they were, but I don't know how high or low that bar was. So to be fair let's wait to see the season ending result this year compared to last year.

Look to the Nevada HC, Jay Johnson (former USD hitting coach) that made the difference. Martinez is playing checkers and Johnson was playing chess. He should have been the Aztecs HC

Nevada showed up in their HOME WHITES, and pretty much set the tone for the weekend. Beat downs like that are not anomaly,Nevada had pretty much picked the signs early and often and when State adjusted, they played small ball and started putting pressure on the bases. Just a few observations that took our pitchers out of their the game. The HC for Nevada is an excellent coach. The good news for the Aztecs is that he'll be moving onto a bigger stage pdq
