*****CWS Game 1 vs Auburn Thread*****

Never heard this bunch of announcers so quiet. They seem to be baffled by the umpire.

Get someone warmed up

This is no good

This is on Ethan. You can’t throw this many balls.

Everything we are doing seems rushed almost impatient. Kids are amped up and pressing.

To be fair, he should've been out of the inning 15 pitches ago

Bingo, seen it too often. I didn't say a word before this game. Bad karma.

Bad strike zone caused ethan 15 pitches this inning alone. No shit 15 pitches. Not calling that down the middle strike. Now another hitter to add to that.

Hes got no zone to throw in.

Better go get Small, he is done.

At what point does Lemonis come out and say something about these pitches?

And now the blue is loosening up....40 pitches too late

Yep, Ethan nibbling way too much tonight. Auburn is up there looking for walks anyway.

This umpire has had a definite effect on this game. He's trying to make small throw pitches right in Auburn wheelhouse

Yep, and I'm afraid it's gonna take more than that to win tonight. We'll see.

ETA: and after a 2 out RBI makes it 3-0 Auburn, its gonna take wayyyyyy more than 4 or 5 to win tonight.

We're done. 17

Walks are killers. This one .251 hitter has accounted for all 3 Auburn runs.

This is painful

That hitter should not have even been at bat this inning. This is frustrating as F
