On the bright side, 1 run should be plenty to beat Bama on Monday.


Maybe 2. Have to assume we get lucky at some point.

Other than they get our lineup next game to get right. That will help boost their pitchers confidence
The extension was given for a reason. Think he mainly can’t lose to AU, that’s by far the most important game but especially when you’re teetering on the fan perception meter.

9-3 with a win over AU would be a decent rebuilding season for fans that aren’t idiots. 8-4 is on the table, though, and a loss to AU would cause this board to go nuclear

Where exactly is Zane going?


Hopefully nowhere. He’s been pitching so long for us that I mistakenly thought he was a senior. Adams and Upchurch is a pretty decent start to a weekend rotation next season, just need to stay healthy and hopefully develop an ace that can sustain 95+ through 6 innings.
quote:

Nope. That cash is going to roster retention because the team is so young. It's the reason the class is so small.


Correct.

It’s also correct that a team that young means it’s a rebuilding year, but that will make posters on this board irrationally angry.
I’d have Adams on a pretty short leash and go to Upchurch or even Heiberger (sp?) if we’re getting down more than 2 runs. No reason to save anyone if we don’t win tomorrow, and it would be nice if Upchurch got some actual CWS experience since I think he’s the only weekend starter returning next year.

Wow. Bama. That was unexpected.


Said none of the knowledgeable Bama or baseball fans.

Texas is going to beat Georgia. We’ll be playing UGA tmrw


That probably won’t go well for us, then. I don’t like our chances either way. We honestly aren’t a team that has Omaha caliber players, but we somehow made it to Omaha. Very good season either way
Yep. Our only chance to avoid 2 & Q was for Fay to pitch a gem and us win a 3-2 type game. Once OU hit the 2R HR to go up 5-0, our season was essentially over.

We may have a very, very small chance of beating Texas if Adams pitches his best game ever and we use all of our arms including Upchurch while Texas has an off hitting game. We’d have to win it 3-2 in extras or something. That’s about a 10-15% probability.

Did he though? Or was it Bama being Bama?


It’s both, which is why it’s been so ugly

Ah yes. SECrant. A bastion of intelligence and people who know their arse from their elbow.


Wait, you think the bama baseball thread has more knowledgeable posters than the SECRant baseball threads?

You clearly haven’t read the baseball threads for the past 5 years

where's all the Bama fans??


Said the LSU fan who just “magically” showed up to the CWS thread after missing the postseason :rotflmao:
quote:

It's just getting worse... 9-0


We’ve got our bad pitchers in now. We totally wasted our 3rd best reliever though. Terrible coaching decision

Cant watch any more of this BS. I am watching world cup soccer.


That’s what 2 TVs are for. Qatar tying it up in the last minute of stoppage time was crazy!!
quote:

He’s not painting the corners or anything.


Huh? He absolutely has painted the corners. Go back and look at the 6th inning at bat to Neal. Completely painted the outside corner at 95mph…at best you hit it to the opposite field for a single, but not much you can do.

Guys on the rant praising the control and saying it’s rare to see in college and our thread is saying he’s doing nothing special. :lol:
quote:

We are facing an unconscious pitcher who is absolutely shoving. He is spotting his fastball and slider and throwing in a change. You just gotta tip your hat sometimes.


UGA hitters wouldn’t just be tipping their cap, but I get your point.
quote:

You want to save him for the plane home?


If it means he’s ready for a hypothetical game 3 or game 2, yeah. Letting him pitch 3 innings today is a complete waste. :casty:
quote:

Torres hits one clutch HR and y’all act like he’s not been absolutely shite all year


Against a regional 4 seed. Torres is totally overmatched against elite pitching. Hines SO earlier, but he battled the whole at bat and had several foul balls.
quote:

maybe just on a very limited pitch count and should be ok for tomorrow.


Even if we win tomorrow (which is an extremely low probability), we’re hosed for game 3 now. Down 5-0 in the late innings, you let your starter battle or go to your midweek guys.
Pitching one of our 3 decent relievers in a game you’re losing 5-0 is certainly a choice. Our coach makes some absolutely baffling decisions.
