Gamecocks vs Dawgs Double-header Thread

[Fried Chicken]

Gamecocks down 4-3 in T9. Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Michael Braswell pinch hitting. Come on kid!

 

[Fried Chicken]

2 questionable strike calls. 2nd one definitely off the plate. 1-2 count and Braswell delivers!!! 2 run double! 5-4 Cocks!!!

 

[Fried Chicken]

Man…would’ve added some insurance but 1st baseman makes a diving catch on a line drive and doubles up Braswell at 2nd. Nothing you can do there. Great play.

Let’s finish this thing!

My hell yea should have been in this thread.

Crazy good hit. Going with the pitch, hitting behind the runners and all that good stuff. Man he needed that. We needed that. Whooo!

 

[Fried Chicken]

Crap, leadoff double for Georgia in the B9

They are going to try to move him to 3rd. Need to play solid D and get a strikeout.

 

[Fried Chicken]

Great play by Braswell at 3rd. Checks the runner and 1 down. I mean REALLY good play there. Easily could’ve been a tied game.

 

[Fried Chicken]

2 down and runner on 3rd. Another great play by our D…Wimmer this time chasing down a ball over 2nd base and throwing out the runner.

Pitching change coming up.

 

[Fried Chicken]

James Hicks is the new pitcher. Needs 1 out.

 

[Blues man]

Outstanding game! Good to see us win a close one like that

 

[Fried Chicken]

BALLGAME! Stole one in the 9th inning of Game 1! LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Game 2 begins in an hour.

 

[USCEDGE]

Gotta give Kingston credit in this one. Pushed all the right buttons! Reminded me of Tanner in his heyday.....

Braswell made the game winning plays on offense and defense. Nice job by a late pinch hitter and sub at 3rd base.

I’m sorry what??? I can never comprehend what you say due to your avatar.

 

[Bubba Fett]

Nice!

We gonna need Brassy. I hope Lecroy isn't hurt

 

[Blues man]

First time in forever we got our leadoff on to start the game too!

Yes he did. That ball hit to him is probably a 50/50 ball. And then to turn, check the runner, and make an accurate throw…huge play.

This team plays with confidence. Our teams in the past few seasons seemed like they didn’t know how to win.

Today was a prime example of the need for a robotic strike zone. The batters, pitchers, and especially the clueless HP umpire had NO idea what the strike zone was.

I really hate the robot... but suck-butt umps sure do make it appealing.

Game 2 begins at 5:30.

 

[SeaMountain]

Well...

 

[Fried Chicken]

After 1, tied 0-0

 

[Fried Chicken]

1st and 2nd with no outs to start the 2nd. UGA booted a hard hit ball that could’ve been a double play. We’ll take it. Make them pay!

 

[Fried Chicken]

We bunt and lead runner thrown out at 3rd. Stupid.

Edit: Play being reviewed & should stand

Don’t like that strategy at all. Chance for a big inning and you’re giving them an out? And then get the lead runner thrown out on top of that? Nope, don’t like it at all.

 

[Fried Chicken]

UGA pitchers just lobbed the ball over the shortstops head on an “attempted” pickoff play. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.

I can’t say enough how much I hate that sac bunt with runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

strikeout and we get nothing. Big missed opportunity there.

Kingston is famous for thinking we can play smallball on rare occasions even though we hardly ever use it... like it's just gonna be there. Problem is we dont knock the rust off when we could.

 

[Fried Chicken]

After 2, Georgia leads 1-0 on a solo HR. Hope we don’t look back on this 2nd inning with regret. But man, we really missed an opportunity there.

 

[Fried Chicken]

Wimmer with a 1-out RBI double to tie it at 1.. Nice!

Casas strikes out looking. Don’t think he liked the call. 2 down with Messina up. Wimmer takes 3rd base.

Messina swinging at everything in this AB. I can’t see him going down looking. Battles back from 0-2 to a full count. Ball in the dirt and Wimmer Scores! 2-1 Gamecocks! Messina on 1st.

Petry with a 2-run bomb! Left fielder will need a rocket up his a$$ to catch that one. 4-1 Gamecocks!

 

[Whatever1]

Just like that, 4-1

 

[Cackmandu]

These announcers have been pretty fair, the ga. Guy said if that ball has landed, nice!

 

[Blues man]

Pretty sure the 10 run rule applies this year to all conference games. Would love to get one on uga. Might even be a first under the new rule.

Still 4-1?

5-1 but yeah...
Wait 8-1

 

[Prestonyte]

This team puts the bat on the ball and sprays to all fields, which is a major improvement over recent teams.

Damn a hairy dog!!!

Cassis with some ugly swings. Come on man!
