Vandy Game 1 Thread

[Whatever1]

Don't see one started yet so here it is. Whistler obnoxious as ever.

2-0 Cocks off a homer from Moose in the first. Going to the bottom of inning 2.

 

[Whatever1]

Vandy ties it up at 2 in the 2nd with a 2 out double. 1st and 3rd now with 2 outs still. Not looking like we are gonna get a very long outing from Will here at all. Don't know why he's having so much trouble this year.

 

[Roosterbell]

Sanders really needs to learn that throwing strikes is his best friend. Two easy outs and then a walk. Next thing you know, it's a tied game.

 

[Bubba Fett]

Time for Sanders to be moved down. Kid has lost his stuff.

 

[Whatever1]

4-2 vandy. Still 2 outs in the 2nd with a runner on 2nd.

 

[Bubba Fett]

Hate it for him, but he's just not getting it done. We give him a lead and he can't throw strikes.

 

[Roosterbell]

You just can't walk people like this. There's no defense for it.

 

[Whatever1]

Finally out of the 2nd. 4-2 vandy going to 3.

Hate it for him, but he's just not getting it done. We give him a lead and he can't throw strikes.

When he does throw strikes, they are up in the zone and very much a hitter's friend.
His motion looks off to me, not very fluid. Coaches should take notice.

More 2 out trouble for Will giving up a hit and yet another walk in the 3rd.

 

[Blues man]

Feel for Messina

 

[Whatever1]

Nice slider to get out of trouble from Will. Still 4-2 going to the 4th.

 

[Whatever1]

Messina hits another no-doubter. 4-3 now with 1 out in the top of the 4th.

 

[Whatever1]

That'll do it for the top half. 4-3 not us bottom 4.

 

[Whatever1]

Will got back on track now it appears with a nice quick 1-2-3. Didn't look too happy with something Bradfield did. Still 4-3. Going to the 5th.

 

[Bubba Fett]

Braswell!!!

God I love that kid!

 

[Whatever1]

Braswell with his first of the year. 4-4

 

[Whatever1]

Bottom of the order doing some work now. Stone with the double with 1 out in the 5th.

 

[Whatever1]

Top of the order didn't help us out there. 4-4 in the bottom of 5 now.

 

[Whatever1]

Back to back clean innings from Sanders. Got away with a hanging slider there for the 2nd out. Still 4-4 going to the 6th.

 

[Bubba Fett]

Welp... I would have pulled him. Sanders makes it through 5.

 

[Whatever1]

Welp... I would have pulled him. Sanders makes it through 5.

He's definitely made it longer than I thought he would in the 3rd. Need him to as well given Hall is still out.

 

[Whatever1]

Petry! 5-4 Cocks!

 

[Blues man]

Casas is due.

 

[Whatever1]

Vandy going to the pen with nobody out and a man on first here in the 6th.

 

[Whatever1]

Hornung with an rbi single to make it 6-4. Runners on 2nd and 3rd now with 1 out.

 

[Whatever1]

Strangely enough, the whistling stopped too...wonder why?

 

[Blues man]

Good to see us hit the ball hard on the ground as well

 

[Whatever1]

Brazzy coming up huge. Adds a triple to his day. 8-4 still 1 out

 

[Whatever1]

Stone with the bunt to knock in run number 9 and reach safely

 

[Prestonyte]

Go Cocks. Love the make up of this team!

 

[Bubba Fett]

Hot dang

 

[Whatever1]

9-4 going to the bottom of the 6th.

 

[Bubba Fett]

Is Sanders in line for the win? I think not? He exited at 4-4.

 

[Whatever1]

Is Sanders in line for the win? I think not? He exited at 4-4.

He is. He exited at 9-4 since nobody else threw a pitch before the runs, and he threw 5 innings.

 

[Whatever1]

Eli Jones with a nice 6th. 9-4 Cocks in the 7th.

 

[Bubba Fett]

He is. He exited at 9-4 since nobody else threw a pitch before the runs, and he threw 5 innings.

Ah, so he gets the benefit of runs in the 6th?

 

[Whatever1]

Ah, so he gets the benefit of runs in the 6th?

Correct, because he had not yet been relieved.
