I say Bednar goes 7.  I don't think he will be as dominant as he was against us, but I like the way the kids pitches.  I hate that he beat us, but he is good.  I think Vandy has to get 3 or 4 off him and I don't think they can do it.

I'd be ecstatic if Bednar goes 7 but don't see any way that happens.. no way. especially for a high K pitcher like he is. 

He's on 3 days rest after throwing after 97 pitches against you. I'm not expecting another 100 pitch effort but if he can shoulder the load and get 6 innings. that's perfect. 

The name of the game is get a lead..and get it to Sim's

    fuck'em. they had a choice to a vaccinate or not. 

  • Wtf is wrong with some of y’all? NC State knew the health and safety rules and the risks of showing up with unvaccinated players. They made their own beds and have to suffer the consequences.  It’s on

    That might explain why our bats may seem like they stay on our shoulders at times. Magnets.

They had to face Ty twice as well.  I still think we are the better team but it doesn't make a shit because they won it on the field.  Hope they finish off Vandy tonight... that's something we should all  be able to get behind.

Yeah, ace against ace, I think they match up well with us. But, they only have the one. We match up much better with their other starting pitchers. And that's why we'd be favored in a straight up 3 game series. But, if the game is always Ty vs Bednar, it looks pretty 50-50 to me or maybe slightly tilted toward MSU. 

Nothing against the Dores but would like to see MSU win this thing.  

Me as well.

And hats off to that showing in Omaha.   Guessing of the 25K seats tonight, 24K of them will be MSU fans. 

What was the crowd ratio when we were playing Miss. State this past week?

We would have beat either of these teams in straight up best of 3 series. But, that isn't Omaha. Next year we win game 1, and all the ones after that. 

I think MSU had the slight edge on us.  All of our games against MSU were extremely tight and seemed to come down to little things that just didn't fall right, but I think their hitting gave them a very slight edge.  I wasn't impressed at all with Vandy overall.

I knew it wasn't a dream!  Yeah, he kept working me in on the hands and I just kept fouling them off...

MSU fans at the CWS far outnumbered any other fanbase from my observations while in Omaha and I think everyone of them flashed the horns down at me.  

The Omaha college kids in town for the summer love them some horns down as well. Learned that at The Blatt after the game on Saturday.

They were, generally, very cool to me. Though I did see some jackasses doing the Horns Down in the stands. They were very eager to see us beat Tennessee.

Hey MSU douchebags if you want to be a bitch when you play us, that's fine but I am going to share a beer with the cool opposing fans not you assholes.

FWIW, the line is MSU +140, Vandy -160 which seems crazy.  Edit, dropped to +110/-130

Line has completely flipped to MSU -130, which makes more sense.

Get it to Sim's to slam the fucking door and finish it. 

 

If Vandy wants to win, they have to make the 1st or 2nd inning rough on Bednar.  A 20+ pitch 1st inning could wear him down with just 3 days rest and affect the rest of his outing.

Of course they did the exact opposite last night with Harding.  Swung early and often and gave him easy innings.  I'm not sure he was even at 20 pitches after 2 innings.  

Something as simple as walking Bradfield to start the game could be enough to affect his first inning and the whole outing.

Also I just want to say I thought our showing was very strong in Omaha. I thought only MSU had more or a comparable number of fans and I saw all the teams play at some point.

Evidently our LF, Cumbest, is out after the fastball to his forearm last night. so Skinner will step in. 

Neither can hit a curveball..and I would say skinner can at least maybe drop a bunt if needed, is a better outfielder, and faster.

If Covid won't take out their opponents, Vandy will just do it themselves.

MSU better hope SAT scores aren’t used as a tie breaker.

I think Tennessee had slightly more.  If you blinked you might have missed them though.

I think overall the quality of fans at the CWS is pretty good.  Most of the real douchebags aren't fans enough to make the effort to go.  Excepting of course the Vandy whistler.  It's night and day compared to my experience when I've gone to away games.  Granted, most of my experience for true away games is at collie station so I'm sure that skews it.

I will split the difference and predict 6 innings for Bednar.  I suspect the star reliever will be able to go three pretty easily, but if Vandy somehow ties it up things will be dicey.  Are we sure State has the better bullpen?  

 

Hard to believe Bednar is a freshman.  Fantastic job being a pitcher as opposed to a thrower.  I think his ability to adjust is what gets him through 6 instead of 5. 

 

 

Ball disappeared in the white chalk to Blue just guessed.

Mattingly I think again behind the plate.  Has no business doing the game w/ atrocious calls, again, like that.  Jesus.

That’s on 2b. You banana to the bag and come towards the pitcher as you cross. Not go towards third.

Bednar is a draft-eligible soph.

To be fair he did say it was hard to believe.

He's calling the inside batter's box today instead of the outside.

Hard to believe Annie Murphy is giving me a blow job right now.

Bednar is looking increasingly less effective with every start after our game.

Geez.

He did get a perfect zone called for him in our game, but he's just not over the plate today.

Edited by TwiceHorn

That was probably a game saver right there.  He could have been 30+ after 1

How much rest is Bednar pitching on?  

3 days

This ump is fucking awful....he shouldn't get anywhere near Omaha ever again.

Too bad our hitters let the umpire take the bats out of their hands. Jordan just showed it’s better not to take a chance .. RBI 2B.
