Go IU! Go IU!

Whatever their chants are. I know they have a couple guys that can mash, but really don't want to play Louisville.

Louisville scares me in the postseason in any sport. What a year athletically

I'm a hoosier...tonight...don't see any maron in the stadium...must all be out drankin'...better pace themselves.

 

[nsvltndog]

Looking for a 20 inning thriller. Agree IU seems to be a better matchup for us.

 

[Big Sheep81]

More like back at the motel washing their butts and burning their drawers with

the skid marks......

I hope our pitchers bring it tomorrow if that's who we play. Those guys can flat out hit the baseball.

 

[AFDawg]

Wow, the strike zone is terrible in this game too.

 

[was21]

Monday?

 

[snoopdog]

The good thing is that if Louisville loses then either Louisville or Oregon St. go home Monday.

 

[patdog]

Be careful what you wish for. Indiana is for real. They've already beat Louisville 2 out of 3 this year. Plus road series wins at Florida and Florida St. Our bracket is a LOT tougher than most people thought coming in.

I just feel good about us being able to keep up with IU offensively, until our bullpen comes in. Then we score the go ahead runs. IU has two solid pitchers but one is a righty and the other has a 3+ era against B1G opponents. I just think we can hit both of them hard. Also, IU is a pretty left handed team, which plays MAJORLY into what we want to do with Girodo.

 

[patdog]

I feel good about our chances against either of them.

 

[jcdawgman18]

Louisville held their ace, IU did not. Therefore, would rather play IU.

WHY THE HELL would a team hold their ace in the College World Series? What a dumb move! Geez!

Because they figured they would be facing State in Game 2 and want their ace going against the best team in the tourney.

 

[00Dawg]

IU! *clap, clap* IU! *clap, clap*

You've now been edumacated.**

Solid logic actually***

 

[patdog]

Especially against a team that's already taken 2 of 3 from you. They deserve what they get if they lose today. And they're going to have hell beating OSU with or without their ace.

Nice.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

We held our ace. Then again, our ace usually comes out of the pen in the 4th inning.

 

[Sutterkane]

As long as we're not playing Vanderbilt or UCA I feel good about anybody.

 

[TulsaLawDawg]

No kidding. About 40% of our losses are attributable to those two teams.

 

[sbcmortgageman]

+1

 

[WayboDawg]

I bet LSU on the other end of the bracket has got to be loving their chances if they make it to the final series. In their minds, the two best teams in the other bracket just lost game 1, and one of them will be heading to the house shortly. I'm hoping the Beavers get sent home myself. The Beavers looked every bit as talented as we do yesterday. They didn't win 50 games for nothing.

Wait, looking at it now, IU did hold their ace. The Slegers kid that's 6'10". A righty with a sub-2 ERA. B1G player of the year. Apparently they both held their aces.

ETA B1G PLAYER of the year, not pitcher. Also a link to a baseball America story on him

Fsu roughed him up last week. I watched him a little in the regionals. He's big but not over powering.

 

[GOOD_DAWG2.0]

Nothing we haven't seen. We're in a zone offensively and it just helps that he's a righty. I bet we hit him hard.
