I'm with you. Unless we get a win tomorrow without sims, we done

Everyone goes as much as they can. No one is burned because they pitched the game prior. In that game 3, you go with your best and tell them to give you everything they have left.

Absolutely.

Look, we're obviously all miserable tonight...no need to make everyone more miserable by being an insufferable cu^t. And that's not directed to you, Bayou, just a comment for everyone.

Rocker is better and he'd a full day rest on bednar.

Cerentola has always been wild, but what in the hell happened to Macleod and Fristoe this year?

I agree. EC still baffles me and why we gave up so soon. How can you be a preseason top 5 pick and now can't make the practice squad yet we can't field 3 starting pitchers?

And there's hope. Base hit.
Not really though

Absolutely. When you dont give vandy free bases they are very pedestrian offensively. Its up to our pitchers to nut up

Score a couple here to get a little
Momentum headed into tomorrow

Cerantola was not a preseason top 5 pick, at least not by anyone who knew what they were talking about.

Alright boys, back to back hits

Rocker may be better but Bednar don't have to beat one player. Bednar can beat Vandy - using your Vandy metrics he has already done it once and is 1-0 vs Vandy. He also set a CWS strikeout record. Rocker ain't done that.

So yeah Bednar can win. I don't care if Rocker is drafted first.

I agree, but if Lemo was determined to still pitch Mac we were going to likely lose that game no matter what.

Skinner hasn't touched a ball since March.

Skinner swings at 2 in the dirt and the one he could have put a bat on he watches.

And he freezes him with an outside slider. 2 down

I heard a top baseball analyst on radio say it dude. He even said he had a chance to be the #1 pick. I ain't no expert getting interviewed but that guy was.

Have you been interviewed by baseball experts?

And Mule really needed a good AB before tomorrow. I don't get that move.

Bottom of our lineup. Oof

He will still be drafted in the Top 5 rounds and isn't even on our roster.

Strike 3 on Clark was a ball.

Good god that sucked. Tomorrow is a new day

The last pitch was above the catchers head.

Back to back k's with the bat on the shoulder.

Hootie. Gotta be your best tomorrow.. It's the season and our legagy.

Huge fail by our staff

Yep, all these college umps suck so not much use in complaining.

Yes. Harding will get hit, but he usually doesn't walk batters. Johnson can be the bridge to Sims and Sims can go 3+ innings.

Wednesday we would have Bednar, Stinnett, Cade Smith, Brandon Smith, Stone Simmons. That's enough quality arms to get it done.

Wish Macleod had had a blister pregame, we mighta won

Just another genius move by Lemonis.

I dunno. Canada had plenty of opportunities. I mean 3 years worth. He may pan out in the pros but he also may continue to be a head case

I agree. If Harding goes well and Johnson Sims might can give a few outs Wed too if he is efficient Tuesday.

It all comes down to our offense, walks, and perfect fielding. We have to get it going tomorrow. I cannot stomach another heartbreaker like 13
