When you can’t throw strikes you don’t get benefit of doubt on close pitches. Not saying it wasn’t a strike but Owen doesn’t have it tonight. Deep counts, hitting batters, predictable counts , then add bad defense and failure to score with bases loaded. I agree. But That pitch wasn’t close. Ump mus...

This ump just cost us a run.

Amen!!

Pretty sweet Oregon HR on strike 4. Man did Owen get squeezed on what sure looked like strike 3 a couple pitches before the jack.

It will be on ESPN+ at a minimum.

Schultz is reverting a bit, not as sharp as he was in Hoover. Still, getting the job done. Consistency from him going forward will be huge for Vandy. Sweet inning-ending 5-4-3 DP! Stroooong 8th by Schultz, 3 dominant Ks. That should give us all a warm fuzzy :) And a strong 9th as well. Very encoura...

Diaz rushed that throw when there was no need to.

I suspect part of the ESPN thinking is that one remote broadcast team can call three, maybe four games in one day. I don't like it, but they didn't ask me. Bastards.

I suspect most of us share my love-hate relationship with all things ESPN. Love the breadth and number of games telecast by ESPN. Hate everything else about it.

It was a good bet for you

My regret is you wouldn't bet on it... (you really didn't think they wouldn't win another game...) I was at wit's end. Nothing they were doing was working, hitters all seemed to try to hit home runs on every pitch, every batted ball on defense had become an adventure, pitchers were going down like ...

I'll be in Texas Section Living Room, Row Lazy, Seat Boy. Can't wait!!!

BTW, I ate the full 10 course meal of Crow after boldly--stupidly??--saying a couple weeks ago that this team may not win another game. To quote that great philosopher Homer Simpson...DOH!

Schultz has pitched this week like it was anticipated he would pitch all year. A confident, strike-throwing, out-getting Schultz would be huge going into the tournament. Great performance for Schultz.

Not sure he could hit it even if he knew exactly where it would be. Give A&M credit, nothing but breaking balls in that AB.

I did, and turned on the radio coverage. Much better. Those tv announcers are like sitting in front of 3 idiotic frat boys who never shut up and who have no interesting experiences or thoughts Frat boy dumbasses...exactly what I thought of them. Peterson is good and gives valuable insights, but eve...

#@&%$! wild pitches!!

It's the ESPN way

Sorry, Egbert...I shoulda read before I responded

Been the ESPN model for years. Maddening.

LaNeve blasts a 3 run homer - gives us a 3-1 lead after 2. Boki done after 2. Reilly is out there. Boki threw strikes. But 45 pitches in 2 innings. Again, can’t use Reilly for too long. I’d love to win this thing - but we can’t risk next week… My guess is that no Vandy pitcher today goes more than ...
