The Diamond Dogs are going up against the Stanford Cardinal, who demolished the Florida State Seminoles with a ninth-inning explosion on Saturday, in this evening’s outing in Omaha, commencing at 7:00 tonight.
While you’re watching the action on ESPN2, don’t forget to share your insights, opinions, pithy quips, and emotional outbursts in the comments below. Don’t be bashful . . . we had a great time during Saturday night’s open thread and, besides, we owe these guys for the 1978 Bluebonnet Bowl.
Go ‘Dawgs!

In the interest of consistency
I’d like to start out with some criticism of ESPN. I believe the summer solstice will be 6/21, and the longest day will be 6/20, not yesterday. Cheers.
somebody
help me out, the simulcast is down where i’m working, and ESPN isn’t updating.
i won’t be home for an hour!
Only Good thing about that inning...
It looks like the stanford pitcher is having trouble throwing strikes and taking advantage of the shadow. We need to take advantage of that.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air;
but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
I Corinthians 9:24-27
Here's a topic...talk amongst yourselves
Do you think the shadow is playing a big part (or will continue to play a part) in the lack of hitting early on?

Unfortunatley i agree with Oral
You can’t just keep feedin’ fastballs to a hitter and expect to put them away no matter how good it is, plus with the shadows i think it would be logical to throw out a few breaking balls.

OK somebody set me straight
b/c maybe I’m the one who has been ignorant all this time. But isn’t our coach’s name pronounced PURR-no? The announcers (on ESPN radio over the net) keep calling him “David Per-NO”. ?
31-17; 14 in a row.

they’re wrong. What else is new

Props to relief pitcher Steven Dodson
....not only did he get the first batter he faced to pop up, but he’s engaged to Katie Heenan.

I think it’s part of their attempt to give us the “Omaha Experience”. Each time and the ESPN crew got ice cream flavors named for them by a local creamery. I’ve tried to find out what UGA’s flavor is.

loran
the good thing is, he’s there if anyone gets into trouble
Kyle
Basically what Patrick and Orel were saying was that if the foul line was as wide as the foul pole, then that would have been a HR no doubt (since the pole was right there)

I get that
I just think the foul pole is the foul pole. The padding shouldn’t make a difference and, if it does, the stripe on the padding should be the width of the pole.
It just bugs me to think padding robbed us of a home run.
If this score holds up, no harm, no foul, but, after L.S.U. got jobbed last night, I’m troubled by the thought of another S.E.C. squad getting hosed by the umps.

Oh i completely agree with you
Kyle but I’m just going by the rules and how they are applied. I think the line is WAY skinny and the pole seems a bit farther away from the wall than it is in MLB stadiums (that HR in a Mets-Yankees game earlier this season which started the instant replay controversy comes to my mind)

Good point on the pole
It bugs the crap out of me in baseball stadiums that they make these ballparks with the poles and fences so its almost impossible to make a close home-run call. They need to fix the poles and lines so that its unmistakable where the ball lands fair or foul and whether it goes over the fence or not.

Nasty
That is a tough curve for a lefty…no doubt.
My Analysis
Stanford is sitting on fastballs. McCree escaped on that last out with a K but on an 0-2 pitch he threw a fastball middle in. The batter for the Cardinal fouled it off but if it was a mistake pitch, it’s easily in the seats and we’re tied at 4-4. Fields needs to come in and just pick at the corners with his fastball to get ahead in the count and then destroy them with that Zito-esque curve.

Me, too, Watson
I went and got a Georgia cap. It was my anti-rally cap, to counteract the Stanford rally caps.
Also, my daughter woke up at the start of the ninth inning (not, I should hasten to add, due to my yelling; I was keeping it down, and I was in the basement watching the game), so, apparently, me holding Elizabeth is good luck, too.

I rubbed my CMR buddha doll during the ninth?

I hope that wasn't a euphemism
If so, too much information!

and on supersitions
The last three games I’ve been sitting with my notebook in my lap while playing solitaire on my iPhone. (The latter keeps me calm.)
Same here
I nearly kicked my dogs and my mother out of the room when they came in at the start of the ninth. I was overruled, but I would have been much less nervous if they had another episode of The Bachelorette to watch in the other room.

Wow
I can’t take much more of this. They are starting to remind me of the mid 90’s “Cardiac Kids” Braves, where it seemed like every game ended with a Mike Mordecai extra innings RBI. I am absurdly glad pitching to Castro or that botched HR call (had the line been make of chalk, it would have made a nice white poof, therefore, fair ball-check the freeze frame) cost them. With all the talk about Fields, and that UGA is 34-0 when leading after 8 stat, I figured that Mike Patrick was jamming pins into a stuffed Uga off camera. Man, talk about being in the drivers seat. Great game.
Haha
Stanford travels with a voodoo doll maybe they were trying to poke a Fields doll while he was pitching

Who would you rather face to go the the CWS
For me i’d rather face Stanford again, rather than a dangerous Miami club looking for revenge.

Ditto
I was hoping F.S.U. would win today.
Since they didn’t, I want the Cardinal again . . . although the Hurricanes’ pitching staff isn’t all that deep, so they could be worn out by Friday afternoon.

Also, to everyone . . .
. . . thanks for coming by and sticking around.
This is, by far, the best (in quality and in quantity) game day open comment thread we’ve ever had here at Dawg Sports, better even than the best we’ve ever had for a football game, which is saying something.
My appreciation goes out to you all. You’re all damn good ‘Dawgs.
Go 'Dawgs!
"Open thread"
It’s a new concept to me this weekend, participation-wise (I do like to read without comment the losers’ threads postgame—it’s the one-thirty-second German in me, perhaps).
I can definitely see looking for this for the away football games next year.
You run a great blog Kyle
(not trying to brown nose i promise) It was a blast i enjoyed watching it thouroughly it was an exciting game. I love some good baseball and the dawgs have been amazing this year. Lets get it to the CWS!!!!

A philosophical question for Kyle
Since the Dawgs will have already faced their Friday opponent earlier in the week, will we still be getting our 10:24 pm “Last Minute Look At…” post? Not only is it good reading but…well..you know. My superstitions are already well documented in this comment thread, and I can’t recall where you fell in the whole screwdriver-goes-into-the-leg-before-a-big-win debate.
For sure
I’m not about to mess with a good thing.
