Leadoff batter reaches
7th round draft pick up
Damn, what happened to ULL? It's like a different team, and Smith ain't THAT good. Pisses me off how their bats go cold against OM.
It's about damn time!
2nd and 3rd. Sweet. C'mon Lafayette!
Strength needs to step up. He's been a bitch in this series
I like the "left right left right left right" chant with Bianco walking out lol
My God, sometimes our fans can be dramatic children.Quote:

2. IF they make it to Omaha this year, it will be their first time in 40+ years. So suddenly them having some legitimate postseason success one year reverses the dominance we've had over the past four decades? Come on. Especially considering we just did the exact same thing LAST YEAR and were very close to being in position to do it again this year. We've been to the CWS eight times since they last went- does that disappear if they win tonight? Hell, hopefully some good may come of this and it motivates our guys this offseason- just like it motivated them last offseason.
3. This isn't football. Both teams can be successful at the same time.
4. Contrary to what some here believe, UM has a good baseball program. They are bound to end up in the CWS at some point, and their team this year appears to have the intangibles and talent to get there. They are a good team and a solid program, and teams/programs like that tend to get to Omaha every once in a while- get over it.
Good move by Bianco. Gets weathersby more time.
I got not sound. Why are they showing cleats?
OM is an embarrassment. Crying bc their loafers are muddy like always.
The whining has begun
Buying time. Weathersby isn't good. Wash was just horrible last weekend. Ull will hit him
They just want time for Weathersby to warm up. Mike "Bush League" Bianco
Wow, that is insane- especially considering that they are a pitch-to-contact pitching staff that doesn't K a lot of people. UM has definitely been the beneficiary of some good fortune this season with men on base.Quote:

That's not bush league it's smart. And he waited until the ump came out.
Notice how OM nibbles so long at the corners that eventually it's called, and then they keep extending until the hitters swing at everything. It's brilliant strategy and terrible umpiring.
Do it the way everybody does it, don't cry about the mound.Quote:

2 out hits will make all the difference in a season
That didn't take long, tied up, 3-3
I really think weathersby is about to get beat up
Step up Gimili! Quit being a bitch against these clowns....greet Weathersby with a smash. This could put the bow ties on the ropes if he rips one here
"Bianco not wasting any time" 5 minutes after he just wasted 3 minutes of time
That LOB% was due to fall, especially against these bats.
I wonder if the Cajuns have picked up on us calling him Gimli, would be hilarious if they all wear Gimli shirts in Omaha
I pictured the guy on How I met your mother (think that's what it's called), when you said that, haQuote:

ULL would have done the same thing.Quote:

Oh absolutely. That just tells me that their BABIP is somehow significantly lower with men on base- and regression is bound to happen.Quote:

Damn you, JaceQuote:
