BlackShirtD Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Thoughts on day 1? NC State really really hot right now after running through the La Tech region and surviving the Arkansas super regional after getting hammered 21-2 game 1 vs. the Hogs Held a dominate Lubbock super regional winner down today in Stanford. Arizona is as good at the plate as advertised vs. a really good day 1 Vandy staff. Vandy is Vandy. Zona took them to extras but couldn’t beat the Vandy Boys. Tomorrow should be just as good with Texas vs Miss St. and Tennessee vs. Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was also a half assed effort by Hodo on the fly ball down the RF line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhornfan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Bad scouting on this game. We came in thinking sliders and end up late on virtually every fastball. There is absolutely no reason that these players can’t hit low 90s fastballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatbambino Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Great start by Madden, 7 innings and only 2 runs to this team is pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I honestly thought Texas was about to pull that off. Obviously Texas had a terrible night at the plate. They didn’t have a comfortable at-bat all night. The Miss St catcher deserves a lot of credit, he got a lot of borderline strike calls that contributed to keeping Texas hitters off balance. Ty Madden was excellent tonight 10Ks over 7IP. Hansen was very efficient as well. Got through 2IP on 26 pitches. He’ll be able to start game 3 should Texas get there. I wasn’t sure if Hodo half assed it or if he gave up on it thinking it was going foul into the bleachers. You create more breaks when you put the ball in play. Texas has the pitching to get through the losers bracket but will the bats be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo97 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Sometimes pitchers are simply in the zone, and pitch an incredible game. How about giving the MSU pitcher some credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Strike zone is absolutely horrible again. Hard to protect the plate when you dont know what's a strike or what isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 What a crushing defeat for Virginia last night. Up 4-0 and had a no-hitter going into the 7th. Miss St scores 6 and wins it 6-5. Horns get Virginia Thursday at 6. Winner has to beat Miss St twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they act like the Bad News Bears at the plate one more time they’ll be heading to Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShirtD Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Vandy with a HUGE win in the bottom of the 9th last night. NC State and Miss St. sitting pretty. Horns and Virginia will start extremely late tonight due to weather delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Zubia breaks his Ofer slump and hits a 3-run double in the top of the 9th to give Texas a 6-2 win. Great outing by Pete Hansen, threw one bad pitch that cost him a W but the fresh bullpen was lights out and Texas got timely hits in the 8th and 9th. Texas pitching depth is going to prove huge. In 3 games they’ve used 6 pitchers and 4 of those can go tonight if needed. Only Hansen and Witt should be off limits tonight. I expect to see Madden get another start vs the Bulldogs tonight. Game ended at 1:15am, Horns will play Miss St tonight at 6, weather permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I haven't looked at the bracket. Is it possible to get a Vandy/Texas final? I'd love to see those two staffs duke it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and if you do get Texas/Vandy matchup you likely won’t see aces or even #2 guys unless the finals goes 3 games. Possibly game 2 on 4 days rest. Vandy throwing Rocker today and Texas likely to throw Madden tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tournament format is unique and I love it but times like this make me wonder if its really the best way to do it. But I don't want it changed. It's entertaining as is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
