College World Series Game One Open Comment Thread

Do they have to interrupt the Miami lovefest to interview the LSU coach? Couldn’t they at least wait until between innings?

mike patrick was the commentator, i wanted to set an over under on how many players names he would mispronounce. well sure enough i turn the tv on after dinner and the first thing i just heard was “cerino”. Of course he’s referring to CF Matt Cerione.

Hey look, Erin Andrews! Ow ow!!!!

We’re keeping up with hits and runs. I’d like to see us avoid any more double plays.

Dammit.

No, Gordo. Getting caught stealing second is not what I had in mind.

from mcree on a 3-2 count. Changeup way down in the zone

real nice so far. The Hernandez kid started out on fire, but we’ve actually got more hits than them now, and our committee of pitchers (ok, only 2 so far) has more K’s at this point.

Let’s push out in front here. (Top of 7th)

The longer we hang around, the better I feel.

= third base ump.

Mike Patrick actually agrees

I can’t believe that call on Thoms’s checked swing.

. . . if the previous checked swing wasn’t?

And, by the way, did David Thoms’s sister not look at a baseball schedule when she planned her wedding?

. . . he was a Negro League baseball player.

That, or Jill Arrington’s pronunciation of David Pollack’s surname has just taken a back seat on the list of ethnically insensitive gaffes during Georgia sports broadcasts.

Seriously, though, there have been some great defensive plays by the Diamond Dogs this game.

Dang.

jinxed that one. before alonso came up orel made a comment about how well mcree was doing until mike patrick just HAD to open his mouth.

What did EA actually say kyle?

also agreed that Thoms got jobbed. I can’t see it b/c I’m not near good tv so I’m following the gamecast (where they do all the plays on a little diamond on the computer screen) in one window and listening to the national ESPN radio broadcast in another window. Anyway, the radio crew went on and on about the bad check swing call.

Sucks that Alonso just took Myammuh back in front, though.

Josie’s on a vacation far away,
Come around and talk it over.

gotta protect the plate with two strikes. Can’t take pitches all day, esp when we’re down a run

that just sucks. Gotta swing the bat.

that the balls and strikes have been consistent for the most part imo. Seems like 2-3 inches off the plate if it initially was over the plate and broke off is a strike. Rich should have known that last inning.

the sickest 12-6 curve i’ve seen since Barry Zito was with the A’s. Absolutely disgusting.

This could happen.

Come on, guys.

Now let’s get the lead and give the game to Fields.

That’s what I’m talking about!

worst throw ever

. . . could have a cool-under-pressure-off, and danged if I know which horse I’d back to win.

Did you see him in the dugout? In his mind, this game’s already over.

That’s probably how Gutierrez was thinking at the top of the inning, too. :-)

I wish this was not a NCAA event because you know going back out to the mound, any MLB stadium would be playing “Hell’s Bells” right now

Come on, Josh.

Just two more outs without more than two runs.

As Jerry Clower might have put it, “Knock him out, Josh!”

Sweet!

That was a real thrill to see our guys beat the #1 team like that. That Miami team is seriously good. Now we get to be in the winner’s bracket.

For now…here’s hoping we come out on Monday and keep playing hard.

you’re a great pitcher and everything but if Mike Patrick can get his facts right, so can you. We’re NOT unseeded, that’s the other Bulldogs you fool. Ughhhh, is it just me or does simple things like that get to just me or everyone else too?

... but at least twice the announcers have referred to Georgia as “unseeded”. Huh?

Miami is ranked #4 but is the #1 seed?

Yowza. That got intense. Im actually sitting here with somebody who called the E1 before the pitch was thrown. As impressive as the game was, that prediction is what im gonna remember most.

And the place was hanging on every pitch. When the final out was recorded, we were high-fiving the waiters and everybody in the place. Yes, I know the high five is dated, but come on! The Dawgs just knocked #1 seed Miami out of the winners bracket! That’s high five worthy if I do say so myself.
