and watch a HBP and two walks. Nothing to do but cringe.

....guy give the damn game away. For the love of GOD man, at least make them EARN it!!!!

about the last USM pitcher in the Clarion Ledger this week. He lost his dad to cancer a few years ago.

 

[Todd4State]

and I bet he would tell you the same thing.

Yes, the umpire was crap today. But a lot of those pitches weren't close.

 

[Xenomorph]

I just feel bad for the guy. He'll carry that for the rest of his life.

[Todd4State]

the good news for him is that they have another game to play and he has a chance to do something there. Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast in baseball. Someone is going to lose, and that means someone is going to do something or have something happen that is bad.

I can appreciate your symapathy for him though.

 

[Orpheus]

Tough way to lose. Our bullpen has way overperformed to get to Omaha. The pressure just got the best of them tonight. Not a believer in moral victories. That one really hurt.

why Weathers wasn't used. But that's just me.

You can't blame the last pitcher on that loss. There were three other bullpin guys before him who also could NOT throw a strike. He was just the last in a long line of pitchers who were not ready to play that day.

Again, I feel for the last guy and for his family for the loss (father), but he was NOT to blame for that game.

 

[Coach33.sixpack]

Whatever inning where Southern had the bases loaded and nobody could get a hit. That also would have won the game without ever having to use as much of the bullpin as they did. Leaving three guys on base in a game that close hurts. Hurts real bad!

 

[OrrDawg]

that were way too close to be taking in that situation. That is where USM pissed away their opportunity to win the game.

as a former player, pitcher, and coach- that just can't happen. As the Dr said, i feel bad for the other 8 guys that just had to stand there and helplessly watch...your pitchers have to have some marbles in the 8th and 9th to throw some strikes- if they get the hits, then they just beat you....damn

 

[8dog]

even with Cargill on the mound, I have my 2 best guys warming up in the pen, even if they are my starters.

I cannot believe going to a guy who has only thrown 11 inn all year was the smartest move.

You play to win the game.

 

[fishwater99]

You have to get hits, but you have to throw the damn ball for a strike too.. That was just horrible...

 

[DerHntr]

we drove back after the game last night and i beat that dead horse until the effing rain started. terrible way to end an absolutely awesome day in omaha.

once I fully wake up i'll likely respond again about the atmosphere, post some pics, discuss the corndogs and ASU fans that were present (seriously those people are long lost family members), straight billed hats, ****** hot women, and the annoying ******** that is "<---right field sux" and "left field sux--->".

 

[mstate1977]

but it could have been a different story if any of the batters in the 8th could have put the ball in play with ducks on the pond and 1 out. All they could manage was a walk. A sac fly would have given them an insurance run, a base hit gives them 2 (probably). Then they would have had runs to give in the 9th.
