Rubber Match

[Whatever1]

Good start. Back to back homers to leadoff the game. Did strand 2 also. 2-0 going bottom 1.

 

[Whatever1]

MSU sure are a bunch of crybabies. Now they are trying to say that a tag of a runner is malicious...

 

[Whatever1]

Another solo shot on the first pitch of the 2nd by Brewer. 3-0 with nobody out.

 

[Blues man]

Top of the lineup- check
Bottom of the lineup- check
Where is everybody else? Lol

 

[Whatever1]

Casas hit in the elbow again. Pitcher should get a warning at the least after the review in the first.

 

[Whatever1]

Wow. 2 days in a row Casas hit in the elbow and they rule strike 3. Talk about ********.

 

[Whatever1]

Left 2 on again, albeit aided by yet another terrible replay overturn. 3-0 bottom 2.

 

[Prestonyte]

Elbow position by Casa is his normal stance and positioning (holds his elbows up high) - not leaning in. Bad call!

Don't know what they're expecting him to do. 2 days in a row now.

 

[Whatever1]

Mahoney is cruising so far. 3-0 going to the 3rd.

 

[Whatever1]

Our side strikes out to make it 7 strikeouts already in just 3. 3-0 going to the bottom half.

Early in the season we were making contact with not as many K's. Not sure if was just non-conference pitching or we have changed our approach.

 

[Whatever1]

3 up 3 down for Mahoney again. Still 3-0 going to the 4th.

 

[Prestonyte]

Major league play by Wimmer.

 

[Whatever1]

Our side goes down in order. Still 3-0 bottom 4.

 

[Whatever1]

Mahoney gives up his first hit of the game to leadoff the inning but that's it. Still 3-0 going to the 5th.

Some of it may be scouting reports are out.

 

[Whatever1]

I love the pettiness Kingston has shown this weekend following up msu's crying reviews with his own.

 

[Whatever1]

Mahoney got into his first bit of trouble with the first 2 reaching in the 5th. Msu scores 1 to make it 3-1 going to the 6th.

 

[Prestonyte]

Don't throw off speed stuff to the #8 hitter. Cost Mahoney a run!

 

[Whatever1]

Once again the first 2 are on for msu after fielding issues.

 

[Whatever1]

They're loaded up with no outs for msu and Veach coming in. 3-1 Cocks right now.

 

[Whatever1]

Veach gets a double play. Makes it 3-2 with a runner on 3rd and 2 out.

 

[Whatever1]

2 run hr makes it 4-3 msu

 

[Whatever1]

Going to the 7th. 4-3

 

[Whatever1]

Tied at 4 with 1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd for Lecroy

 

[Whatever1]

Lecroy walks to bring up Denny with them loaded and 1 out.

 

[Whatever1]

Bases loaded 1 out and we strand them...4-4 going to the bottom half of the 7th.

 

[Prestonyte]

Asking again, why do we take so many first pitch fastballs right down the middle? Not all but most of our hitters do.
Braswell is a fastball hitter and he took the only fast ball he got on the first pitch - nothing but breaking balls afterward.

Puts behind in the count and gives the pitcher the edge. Us - 12 strikeouts, them - 3.

Been yelling about that all game. We watch Wimmer hit the first pitch of the game out 2 days in a row and Brewer do the same in the 2nd, then we just stop swinging at the first pitch grooved fastballs.

 

[Whatever1]

1st and 3rd nobody out for the Gamecocks after the error. Have to capitalize here.

 

[Whatever1]

Wimmer gets hit to load the bases, no outs for Casas.

 

[Whatever1]

Petry with the base clearing double! 7-4 Cocks

 

[Blues man]

So impressed with the way the bottom played today

 

[Whatever1]

Last night these hits were all right at defenders. Just wasn't our night.

 

[Bubba Fett]

Yeah baby!

Keeping pace with Vandy. Huge to get a series on the road.

 

[Whatever1]

In case anyone isn't following and just looking here, it is now 14-5 Cocks going to the bottom of the 9th.

 

[Prestonyte]

Thought Wimmer had another grand slam. Just missed.

So close!!
