CWS Game 1 Thread
I think Bullock called time to buy a second for Henry. This inning is quick.
Might not touch Vandy's pitcher for a while, if at all. Hope Michigan's pitching settles in soon
Worst inning for our offense so far in the World Series, as Bullock also goes down on strikes.
Top of the order. Clench time.
Was that Frames Janklin in the crowd for Vanderbilt? Fuck that guy!!
Wow, that Fellows guy was dealing in that inning. He pitches quick, too. Next inning, our guys are gonna have to slow his pace and rhythm down by stepping out, and calling for time.
This isn’t good
Ugh.
Tommy has to go back to what works best for him, pounding the strike zone, keeping it down by the knees except for an occasional pitch up to change the eye level
Pitcher's best friend!
What a play!11
Just like that!
Forces a grounder into a double play!
BIG inning.
Vandy is sloooow on the bases.
Heh.
Nice on the DP!!!
Defense shines again. What a scoop by Kerr. Wonderful decision-making all around.
Bakich the shift master strikes again
There we go! Shut em down quick!
Don Brown defense?!
We’re getting screwed in the game. It was a called third strike. But it worked out ok....
Henry with the big bounce back inning.
Blomgren leads off with an infield single. Back in business!
Just tuned in. Lets go blue!
2 on, lets go and get some more here!!!
Nice hit. Runners on 1st and 2nd
Two straight singles!
Two on none down
Runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs. Make it happen.
Need to cash in on 2 on and zero outs.
Go Blue!!
Runners advance on sac bunt.
Wish it wouldn't have gone straight to the pitcher, but the runners advanced. Now on 2nd and 3rd with one out!
Ako Thomas lays down a sac bunt, runners have the table set for Jordan Nwogu
This next pitch is #81...
#DESTINY
Three straight full count fouls...
Damn. But that was a helluva an at-bat, worked the pitcher HARD!
Time for some two-out magic... C'mon, Jesse!
We're gonna need another 2-out RBI hero here. Need these runs.
I have a feeling that's gonna hurt badly later. Need to take advantage when you have multiple runners in scoring position, especially when you have fewer than 2 outs.
Fuck. That’s gonna fuck us later.
DAMMIT!!! That hurts. Had 2dn and 3rd base occupied with one out, and got nothing. Can't strand them like that against this team...
WHY DO VANDY'S PLAYERS ALL LOOK LIKE THEY'RE 32
That hard Nashville partying will age you quick
Vanderbilts bats make me nervous. Theyve got so much talent. Gonna be a big time sphincter clencher if we don’t score anymore runs
This is why im not a big bunting guy. Let Thomas swing away and work on the pitch count for Fellows.
Bummer. Left two in scoring position
No result, but made him throw a lot of pitches.
Didn't score, but got Vandy's pitcher to work that inning. 80+ pitches after 4, we should have him out of the game before the 7th. We got Henry some rest, let's go 1-2-3.
Would have liked to get at least one run there. This team is really good at working at the count, though. Opponents pitch counts have been ridiculous. Billy Beane would be proud.
Easy 4-3 groundout. 1 down.
