Uh no, that was a tough play, Small missed his spot big time on that HR

We’ll score a few tonight. Small missed a spot. We’ll get it back.

45 pitches thru 2. You cocky ****ers need to calm it. This ain't good .

Yep, but living up in the zone doesn't lead to grounders

That fastball middle in wasn't on Gilbert

We will score some on this guy. He is throwing urine balls. Just have to stay patient.

Yeah. That was helluva stop. Great play. It just so happens the Auburn dude could get down the line too.

Agree. It's a long throw from 3rd too. He did OK.

No, the Chicken Littles need to cool it. What do all championship-level fanbases have in common? They expect their teams to win. Our team deserves a fanbase like that.

45 pitches through 2 innings.

Not ideal. We're going to need 4 out of the pen tonight. At least

R-E-L-A-X

sucky play for sure. But we haven’t even bat this half inning.

We’re not in trouble but Small better not throw another fastball right down Broadway on a 1-2 count. That call was dumb.

I've had a bad feeling ever since I saw we were going to have to go through basically nothing but SEC teams to win the CWS. We've been dominant against non-SEC teams but only so-so against good SEC teams this year.

Im not gonna argue with a guy that has had they year he's had. He's a strikeout pitcher. He's been doing this all year long. I think its a good idea for him to work down more but he just doesnt

Yeah, Small already half way through, in only 6 outs. He needs to mix both the tempo and the dang pitch selection. Yeah he struck out 5 in a row, but I would have taken 3 of those 2nd pitch fly outs.

We are going to get to ears. Just be patient.

Rally has started.

Yeah. Lets see that arm now.

Nice. Come on Rowdey
