CWS Game 2 Thread
Kumar is dealing. Not looking great
OK, this kid is pretty good. I'll give him that.
Kumar Rocker is obviously very, very good
That at bat by Kerr is why I'd rather see hitters swing on 3-0 occasionally.
Jesus. We’re gonna get 25 k aren’t we? Lol. This is just silly.
Make him throw strikes.
He is?! Even the borderline pitches are getting called in his favor so yea, hes throwing strikes
Yeesh
Can we disturb his rhythm please?
Would love to see a batter call time and step out the box...but that possibly could mess up their approach and rhythm too
Not if you know you’re doing it. Step out, make an adjustment woth your gloves or whatever, reset, and step back in.
I agree. He obviously likes to pitch fast and dictate pace. We need to start asking for a timeout a few times and kill his mojo
Jesus, rocker has 5 strikeouts already. Kid is legit
Well tomorrow’s game should be interesting.
9 straight strikes to end the inning. Already 5K on the day. Eesh.
Top of 3rd 0-0 after 3 up, 3 down for M.
This looks like a tough game but who knows still tied after two.
This Vandy pitcher is no fucking joke man
Someone earlier today on this board said Vandys ace is pitching game 3. That was the most absurd thing said today
Holy shit.
OK . . . save Kauffmann and Criswell for tomorrow.
Be crazy aggressive today and hope to steal a win.
Yikes. 5k’s already
We struck out 17 times against UCLA if memory serves me right. Do you think we strike out more times than that tonight.
That man is lethal.
Rocker in his bag tonight
They're making good contact. Paige is getting by the skin of his teeth.
Vandy is hitting some hard balls. 2nd time through lineup is scary
Contact pitcher against Vandy doesn't seem like the greatest idea but what do I know.
FIRE BAKICH!
If they score 1 we may very well be done
Single by V. One out.
real worried about 2nd time through the order
Runner advances on bad pitch.
Cant make those kinds of mistakes.
Damn, those kind of mess ups will cost us dearly this game.
Wow, that Rocker is a power pitcher! Our approach must be to sit dead red on the first pitch. He won't throw the slider until he's gotten a strike or two, so sit on the fastball early. If we get baserunners, we can steal on this guy. He's a big lumbering right-hander with a long delivery, and seemingly a slow move to first.
The defense is going to have to play nearly-perfect to win this game.
Oh Donovan loses the ball again. Ugh.
He needs to stop those. Let 2 of them get by yesterday.
Donovan has not a good couple nights defensively.
Your position is CATCHer
Fire bakich. Not to pitch Criswell today and go for win tonight will cost national title. Michigan equals 2nd place.
should have been a double playball
Yeah second suspect play by 2b
Runner on 3rd. 2 outs.
That was big. Get em at 1st now.
Is it possible this is a silent concede by Backich by pitching Page, assuming we will have a seriously hard time scoring runs. Saving Criswell for game 3.
Close....damn. One more out please.
Sloppy tonight .
Just walk Bleday right? Why risk this?
...remember you have 1st open!
