I dont expect this team to get to Omaha

That’s unacceptable here.  Every year the expectation should be to make it.   It’s baseball so of course you won’t make it every year.   But it pisses me off that apparently Pierce thinks showing up with a roster that’s green and jaggy is ok in any year.

That and we ass-blasted everyone the first 11 games last year and 2 and q'ed in Omaha.

Year before, we got ass-blasted in the opening tournament and for a while thereafter and finished third in the nation, losing squeakers to the national champion.

We'll see.

Yeah. It is about how you are playing in June, not February.

Solo HR by the pig catcher and it's 4-4 after 2 with both starting pitchers out.  I'm feeling a little better about holding them to 3 last night

I was..um..surprised to see Sam Walbridge out there with the game on the line. I really don't know what to think so far.

The optimist in me (and twilight zone thinking) wonders if Pierce prioritized experience for the staff vs the win.   If solely going for the win,  seems he likely would have left Shaw in longer and sent Stuart out for the 9th vs Walbridge with very limited appearances.

As TwiceHorn mentions above,  this tournament  is not concrete to the end result.

Yep. And if one wanted to argue for arguments sake, two 1 run games and battling back were the ideal results.

Now, they can say to themselves, we can hang but have to cut down on mistakes and play consistent baseball.

What’s the record for most consecutive at bats ending with Ks to start a season?

I’m not sure but I bet Michael McCann holds that record 

10-4 Frogs in the 6th

I agree, but this is kind of what Pierce does. Plays a tough OOC, puts the young dudes in pressure situations to see who's got it, then has a set lineup with pitching roles established come conference play. I'd love to go back to the 02-'11 days where we come out of the gate beating the shit out of everyone but I can't complain with the results he's given us. We just happen to have a lot of new faces. Kash transferring kinda fucked us over. We could use his bat. Fucking cocksucker 

Not sure which direction Vandy will go on the mound today but they got plenty of options. Could go RHP Patrick Reily or LHP Devin Futrell (another tough lefty with sorta a funky delivery but nasty stuff)

O’Hara might be the best defensive player on the roster. If he can hit even a little bit, he will be damn good.

Good grief.  Radio broadcast of these games has many long pauses from announcers that I think my internet connection dropped.  Need a win today!

Yeah if he can go ahead and beat out Daly putting him back at 2nd where he belongs that’d be nice. And I assume O’Dowd at 3rd would’ve made those plays Flores didn’t Friday night 

Huh, Daly to the bench Game 3

I’m gonna assume Vandy is throwing a lefty with all the righties we have in the lineup

Think Pierce is just giving the young dudes a shot in the infield. Cool with me. Daly isn’t exactly our standard at short 

Announcers need English lessons. So far I've heard "sit on your laurels" and "at the same token."

All new infield, same throwing errors.

Or not, replay shows Constantine got his foot down in time.

 

3 up 3 down for Sthele

Both O'Dowd and Daly sitting on the bench...interesting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vandy emptying the dugout between innings to play duck duck goose in shallow left is weird

Alright guys, you throw the ball, ya' hit the ball, and you catch the ball.  

Let's play ball!

I mean, they call themselves “the Vandy Boys”. What do you expect?

High throw keeps us out of the dp

Guillemette has made solid contact all weekend. So that’s nice 

E4 on little Duplantier

Infield defense leaving quite a bit to be desired.

That was fucking awful

Add that to the list of things to work on.

Steele might want to think about holding the runner 

HBP sets up the dp to get out of it.  If we can turn it.

And there it was and there it was

Ok yeah Duplantier needs to be pulled. Now. Good fucking god

It's a long season.

We're a young team.

It will get better.

Keep repeating..

Were you guys in the know skeptical of his offense?  Or was it his defense?

Hmmm

Grand slam.  Can't give a good team 6 outs in an inning?
