Welcome back to your College World Series open comment thread, Bulldog Nation!
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.

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.

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?

3-0, Stanford, middle of the third
Stanford got the triple in, then got a two-run homer.

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”. ?

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

The idea is to make contact right?
I like the idea of the hit and run, but when you don’t make contact and you still can’t come close to being safe at 2nd when the pitcher throws a curve ball, it just kills it.

"atmosphere"
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.
