[Activated Alpha]

[HoopsDawg]

Glad Campbell didn't bunt him to 3rd.

[RocketDawg]

1 out away. But man on 3rd. Campbell team has guts.

[parabrave]

Just one more

[maroonmania]

With the sac this game would be tied. So very glad they didn't do it. We have to watch the wild pitch here.

[Bdawg]

Stupid baseball there not to bunt him over.

I agree. You're facing one of the best pitchers in the country.

[SilentSteel16]

Fox hall and sims are laughing..... I am all for playing loose but this kid is sitting FB...

[SilentSteel16]

This kid is cocky

[parabrave]

Are we going to walk him?

[ScoobaDawg]

Too close for comfort.

[maroonmania]

THANK goodness that didn't go to Kamren James.

[HoopsDawg]

Great Job. Sims no problem throwing 3 innings. Could have easily thrown 3.2, but we got the win.

[SilentSteel16]

Someone needs to wave bye to 13

[ScoobaDawg]

6-3 go . Dawgs go to their 5th straight super regional

Come on you fugly little irish man

[Activated Alpha]

Thank you Jesus for giving us Sims!!

[Commercecomet24]

WE did what we needed to do! Super Dawgs!

[Really Clark?]

Yes!! Super Regional Bound!!

[PMDawg]

Well that was tense. Not pretty, but a W

[Bdawg]

THANK goodness that didn't go to Kamren James.

Ha

[bobtail bob]

Now I can enjoy the black bears fighting for survival

[HoopsDawg]

THANK goodness that didn't go to Kamren James.

James played a solid 3rd this tournament. That play he made early in the game from deep 5 hole was impressive.

[DownwardDawg]

Wooooo!!! Shit. I hated that!!!!

[HoopsDawg]

6-3 go . Dawgs go to their 5th straight super regional

Come on you fugly little irish man

5th straight Super Regional. Wow, that's impressive. Good job Cohen for setting us up with VCU and Campbell.

[Commercecomet24]

Well guys Bednar, Mac and Harding were Dawgs this weekend!

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Easy stuff. Onto Notre Dame.

[Commercecomet24]

Longest active streak for super regionals.

[BeardoMSU]

Who else needs a nip of booze to settle some nerves?

Man that's what baseballs all about. This stuff is a blast!

[DownwardDawg]

Man that's what baseballs all about. This stuff is a blast!

No. It’s gonna kill me. Lol

[maroonmania]

Sims was starting to lose some effectiveness. 3 innings probably is about the max we can use him in one outing right now and expect him to be lights out. Right now I just don't see him moving to a starting role next year. I don't think he is what he is as a starter.

[Commercecomet24]

Nice play by Forsythe to end it, that ball took a funky hop at the end.

[maroonmania]

Man that's what baseballs all about. This stuff is a blast!

Yea, when you win. I would have sick for a week had we lost that and then somehow lost again.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We will have to be better on offense. I will say this, if fristoe does not pitch we win going away

[Commercecomet24]

Meh we scored 30 runs in 3 games.

[maroonmania]

Meh we scored 30 runs in 3 games.

Yea, a third of those came in one meltdown inning for VCU.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Yea, a third of those came in one meltdown inning for VCU.

So...they don't count?

[Commercecomet24]

Yea, a third of those came in one meltdown inning for VCU.

Well there's always room for improvement, but we swung the bats well all weekend, today was kind of feast or famine, but all in all a very good effort.

[Cooterpoot]

Meh we scored 30 runs in 3 games.

Single digit runs vs this pitching in two of three games is bad. We had one game we lit up the pitching. One we were up and down. One we stunk. It's the signature of a Gotro team- Inconsistency. I really wish he had taken the Rice job.

[Irondawg]

We were ok on offense, but that?s kind of what we are. We aren?t going to post 10 runs very often.

[HoopsDawg]

If we had opened with Sims for 3 and brought in Harding, this game wouldn't have been close. Doubt that was ever considered though.

And folks have said this all season but here we are in super regionals.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

We seem to be pretty consistent under our coaching. Consistently winning.

This and that's all that counts. Doesn't matter how you win, just win.

5 straight Supers. Let's try to enjoy it.

[OLJWales]

Got started early due to this game. As said in Money Ball "how can you not see the Romantic Side of baseball?"

[Commercecomet24]

5 straight Supers. Let's try to enjoy it.

I know I am. This is a hard game to be consistently great in and yet we are finding a way every year lately.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We seem to be pretty consistent under our coaching. Consistently winning.

And that is all that really matters. Find a way

[Cooterpoot]

We seem to be pretty consistent under our coaching. Consistently winning.

And under every coach that's been here. Nothing new about it.

His last pitch was a 97 mph fastball down in the zone. If that's ineffective, I will take it over other options.

[maroonmania]

So...they don't count?

Did I say they didn't count? I just made a statement of fact.

[maroonmania]

His last pitch was a 97 mph fastball down in the zone. If that's ineffective, I will take it over other options.

Aside from the double, those last 2 ground balls were hit on the button. We were fortunate they went right at fielders and we actually made the plays. First 2 innings they couldn't touch him.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

So you are just a Lemonis hater for some reason?

[DownwardDawg]

5 straight Supers. Let's try to enjoy it.

Imma celebrate by taking a nap now!!! Lol
Seriously, I’m just thrilled we’re playing in another Super.

[parabrave]

OM up 4-0 early. They might be having a very long rain delay

[Commercecomet24]

Well I know one thing baseball is an extremely difficult game. We're winning and playing good baseball. Our pitching outside of fristoe was excellent and our defense which has been a thorn all year was dang good this weekend and we hit enough. I'm gonna take it and enjoy the ride.

Yeah, we suck. National seed, and how many straight supers?

[RocketDawg]

Who else needs a nip of booze to settle some nerves?

I might have, but I played golf this morning and got in just in time to see the 8th and 9th innings.

[maroonmania]

Will add though that I was generally OK with the offense this weekend until today. As far as next weekend, I definitely still sort of consider us the underdog even though we are the higher seed but I hope we get the job done. At least I know now that if we go to Game3 there won't be any more experimenting with Fristoe. It will be Harding from the get go. We just don't have ANY other 3rd starters you can trust.

[Cooterpoot]

Yeah, we suck. National seed, and how many straight supers?

Nobody said we suck. Just aren't a good hitting team. But I'll let you tell me which coach other than Canz hasn't been to a super/CWS. Almost anyone can win here. It's the next step I'm looking for.

[RocketDawg]

Anybody know game times for the super regional? We're heading down to near Starkville on Friday, coming back Saturday, so will probably miss most of the games.

Well I hope we beat Notre Dame 85-0 so you can have your moment of Zen.

I believe we're all wanting to take next step but one can enjoy winning baseball at the same time. And I'm not saying you're not enjoying maybe it's just your curmudgeonly way. You maybe like a farmer, there's either to much rain or not enough, but you love it nonetheless. When I was coaching I had the farmers view too, always trying to fix this or that, but sitting back and just enjoying watching a team play good baseball is a lot fun because of how difficult it is to do.

Yea, funny how things work. In 2019, I was convinced we could win it all. And while we did make Omaha, we only won one game. If the team this year actually makes Omaha I won't have any complaints because we would have squeezed an awful lot out of a team that has some fairly obvious weaknesses.

It's why I love the game so much. Anything can happen in post season baseball at any level. To many time teams had no business winning, won it all. If you get hot at the right time you can ride it to a championship. Heck Coastal Carolina did it with one starter, one relief pitcher, one power hitter and a bunch of scrappy players.

Speak Cc, u know and understand baseball. We were really good the last 3 games in all 3 phases of the game. No complaints from me!
