Impressive. wasn't expecting that... 

[blacklab 11844]

Good. Hope vandy loses next game too.

Anything to get that whistler outta there.

I have yet to say anything incriminating if she is actually in the danger zone. Maybe I meant "omg Leiter's sister - so cool she gets to watch her brother play".

I was simply going to ask how much to buy the dutch girl.

What's all the shit blowing in the wind?

The answer, my friend?

[SquishMitten 10398]

Only 2 hits and no runs. 15K’s that’s nuts. 

That’s gotta be a record, right? Right?!?

So, CWS night games so far:

Vandy-Wolfpack - 1 run, 24ks

Texas-Miss State - 3 runs, 33ks

Zona-Vandy - 13 runs, 29ks

 

vs the day games

 

Stan-Zona - 19 runs, 13ks

Virginia-Tenn - 6 runs, 18ks

Wolfpack-Stan - 14 runs, 21ks

 

Basically, I'm just holding out some hope that our bats aren't quite as terrible as they looked on Sunday.

I never played baseball as a kid and have only been following Texas baseball since the 02 season so I’m relatively new to baseball. Here’s my observation and question.

the miss st pitcher looked really good. Our bats looked incredibly terrible. We were swinging late and low tons of times and watching some of what looked like very hit-able  balls go right by.  So  which was really which. Did he make us look that bad or did we make him look that great?

 

[Machinator 32097]

Yes.

It was the gambling trifecta of suck.  The pitcher was throwing great pitches, the ump had a shitty large yet inconsistent strike zone, and our hitters did both fail to adjust and watched a shitload of good pitches which all made for him appearing to be the most dominant pitcher in CWS history.

We better beat the road construction orange hillbillies here in a bit.

[Cajun 11675]

Both.  

He was very good and we sucked and insisted on continuing to suck by making zero adjustments.

[Cajun 11675]

And, yes, the inhebriated home plate ump didn't help either.

Great pitcher + big strike zone + passive hitters only swinging for the fences = strikeout party

Dear ESPN,
I've turned on the game twice, and both times the whistler(s) made it unwatchable. Please get your mikes away from those assholes or turn the mikes near them off. Until you do so I probably will never watch a Vanderbilt game.

Thanks,
Blacklab. 

We can only hope that vandy is eliminated on Wednesday

And so it begins. 

The great purging of SEC teams from the CWS of our time.

I wish we could get a number from the televised games as to how many times the plate ump call was opposite of what the "box" showed.

Very accurate description.

And I'd add in "+ coaches who sit with thumbs up their asses" just to round it all out.

Something the Yankees really popularized in the 90s & 2000s was getting a pitcher off his rhythm even when they were getting mowed down. Lots of stepping out of the box, lots of calling time at the last possible moment, lots walking over to “talk” to the 3rd base coach, etc. Annoying to watch but that was kind of the point. Led to more mistake pitches that they could capitalize on. We really could’ve used that approach Sunday once we saw how on his game the MSST pitcher was. Hopefully Pierce learns. 

[Cajun 11675]

Apparently, it was just too much to ask for.  Pierce and Co must of had some late night Jeopardy to watch.

[Cajun 11675]

Not to be a wet towel, but I think we've already lost the equal shine and bounce game against these hillbillies.

Advantage aggy.

Wait! Some people don’t want an all-SEC Championship? What is wrong with you people - you want Bristol’s unemployment to spike?

It’s bad enough watching the Horns lose, but combine that with this board after a loss and it makes me want to join texaggy

Is everyone confident or worried. less than 2 hours till the game and no game thread.. 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21781]

There’s going to be an ass load of disappointed hillbillies here in Omaha in about 5 hours

Also, sorry MSUdawg, but hopefully a lot of disappointed Mississippi trailer park residents about 5 hours after that

@Horny Bull is the game thread man and usually doesn't start them until lineups are out.

I was about to say I'll do it. I can't stand Tennessee. 

I'm surprised the LSU fans aren't on here saying go horns so they can go ahead and get their new coach.
