I was at the game, here are some notes:
-The kids in the front row stole the show, we were laughing our asses off at their antics.
-Disappointing crowds this weekend (not bad, but far lighter than what I thought we would get for a series that wins us the SEC title). I know the weather has not been great, but jeez.
-I love to see us pummel vandy. they have rubbed our noses in it a few times over the last 15 years, so it's great to run rule them.
-I hate that UT won, as I wanted a stress free saturday, but let's win this game today and clinch the 1 seed.
-Waldy is on fire. I also liked what I saw from Pitre, Lopez, Nicholson, and Mccarthy at the plate. Conversely, McCoy strikes out swinging more than any player I can remember, and Grant Smith is way off since returning from injury. Also, Devon Burkes has not had a great year at the plate but I'm hoping he turns it on now that we're entering crunch time.
-Our pitching is a real concern. I feel good about Pooser and Moore, but Niman is a ticking time bomb as our middle starter. Our bullpen seems to usually get the job done, but we don't have any dominant arms that you can count on to just come in and get 3 outs. The only team that I've seen that is clearly better than UK is UT. Otherwise, we're right there with every other team...but matchups matter in tourney play, and I'm hoping ours are favorable so that we can get to Omaha.
