[joeywa]

Are those K-State uniforms black??

You read bro?  Hahaha!

Yes, they're black. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

French has really improved that breaking ball over the offseason. French was erratic last year at times but I think he's actually hitting the strikezone a little too much right now. Throw that breaking ball in the dirt a little bit more. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Are those K-State uniforms black??

Si, senor.

You'd be pressing too with an AVG of .197

He will settle in soon. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

What an arm by Johnson. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]
