Ok fine.  I just hate that Wake acts like every home run is the greatest thing they've ever done.

 

Seriously this.  It feels like the late 90s and FSU gorilla ball.

They’re kids playing for by far the best team in the nation  

Gorilla ball was LSU. 

[AUS-97HORN 11824]

nice stat just popped up.

 

aggy has given up the most runs in a super regional..... 23

Wake needs to stop scoring.   they get another and aggy loses that distinction

There are so many home runs this weekend.  I cannot believe it is simply great hitting.  There has to be shitty pitching involved too.  If it really is just great hitting, we are going to get rolled because we do NOT have great hitting.

Shitty pitching everywhere.  Guys like Lowder, Skenes and Gordon are definitely the exceptions.  Every time I checked out opposing rosters, I was surprised by the horrible pitching numbers. At the same time, even the best pitchers are giving up bombs. The key is limiting them to solo shots.

… while trying for low and outside

[Gatorubet 30321]

Gorilla ball was LSU. 

Losing in the CWS was FSU in the 90s.  And the 80s. And the 00s.  And the 10s. 

[zlavydra 2123]

I'm surprised that Judge Roy Moore University's camo caps haven't helped them.

I've seen kids every year play for the best team in the nation.  Most of them didn't act like clowns.  

Correct on the terminology for LSU.  I just remember the FSU bats before they changed the rules and that's what the Wake homers feel like right now.  It's silly.

[Gatorubet 30321]

I want a 2005 rematch with a different result. Go Horns!

The ones last year sure as hell did.  Until they lost their SR.

[zlavydra 2123]

Dogpile injuries incoming.

[WBT 20672]

Dog pile!  First trip since '55 is pretty cool though.

[AUS-97HORN 11824]

their first baseman can barely move, yet went ahead and dogplied anyway. 

[zlavydra 2123]

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think that the losing team shouldn't be expected to stick around and shake hands if the other team is going to dogpile, play to the crowd, etc.

I hope so.  I haven't hated a team this much in a long time.

Your hatred is prettty bizarre to me.  Have you never watched Tennessee play?

Aside from their clown show, bro-culture shenanigans, I also just basically refuse to believe they can be this good.  If they wreck shop in Omaha, I'll eat crow, but come the fuck on.  This weekend for them was a mockery.  And if they ARE that good, they shouldn't act all surprised and show up the other team after every homer.  They should be used to it.

[zlavydra 2123]

I'd expect a priest to bless the stadium at Notre Dame or maybe BC, but USM?

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

It's not gone, bro. 

[WBT 20672]

Watch the game bro

I agree. Coaches do a quick shake and let the team get out of there.

They're very good.  They also wouldn't be the first very good team to go 2 and Q.

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

Ringling Bros OF play continues. 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

I was fearful that Tennessee might have a void in douchiness after Gilbert's departure. But I underestimated their ability to reload.  

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

That one really is gone. 

[AUS-97HORN 11824]

S. Miss getting their sea legs

[WBT 20672]

Boom!

Dollander seems like he sucks

[dcar00 14378]

well timed mound trip coach.

That’s just baseball in general. I’ve noticed a lot of antics in MLB dugouts after a home run. Affects all clubs and started this year. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I see Wake play.

[Valmy77 13273]

Tennessee in trouble. What a shame. A damn shame.

[dcar00 14378]

USM is hammering this guy.

Look I have no doubt they are good. I just don't think they are as invincible as Bama made them look.

 

[WBT 20672]

Nobody for Southern Miss getting cheated this inning

[dcar00 14378]

love the announcer who thinks he can tell how many feet a ball is pushed by the wind.  does he have a calibrated mic?

[shadow_operative2.0 16033]

That one is real gone too. 

[hobbes2702 13078]

Espn said 479ft?! Holy shit

[WBT 20672]

Well shit, USM letting Tennessee right back in it.  That was rather crushed...on replay you can see it land in the church parking lot way behind those people in the lawnchairs.

This announcer keeps saying it's a new ballgame...doesn't that mean it's tied?  He did the same thing when they cut the lead to 4-3 in Game 1.

That's far.

Not as far as Griffey at the derby in Baltimore off the warehouse though!

Think the winner in Hattiesburg today needs at least 12 runs...   wind blowing out

Like anyone could even know that.  Aside from the announcer.
