Thing is I have all summer to do non-Tech baseball stuff. About 6 weeks from now I'll really be jonesing for some Beesball, the other stuff I can do anytime. ETA: Back to the "other stuff" now. Have a good one, guys!

This is our usual Sunday starter. This is one of my biggest complaints with Hall, he panics (IMO) when things get tough. Dawson Brown has done a decent job all season, where is he? ETA: But it worked this time. Tip of the cap!

True, I left that part out for brevity reasons.

Giesler hit a homerun in the 1st inning (boy, do we need some more runs!!!) and as he entered the dugout Caden Gaudette put the construction hard hat on him, as per the normal homerun celebration. The ump came over and ejected one of our players, and the replay showed that Gaudette had in fact...

Wowzer, that is quite possibly the strangest ejection I've ever seen. One step too far, I guess, onto the field.

Looks like Army saved their ace for this game. I guess they were assuming they would lose to UGa and wanted to try to get at least one W. I bet they are regretting that decision.

Well, it looks like we get Finateri for the start. Hopefully a really, really short leash.

Hall stated pre-game that Thomas was being used as an opener, not a starter. I have no problem with that, in fact I actually like the decision. But I do agree with you that CDH got greedy based on the success of the 1st. When you have a plan, stick with that plan. Another example of letting...

We have plenty of time to discuss next year, probably starting Monday, so for now I'm going back to the action on the field... We've got to get John Giesler going at the plate again. He seems to be the key to this lineup. He has had a few well struck balls, but 2 Ks last night, including at...

We have now gone 16 straight innings without scoring over a span of 10 days, and we have also only scored 1 run total in 2 games at Foley Field this season.

Someone on this board (can't remember who) has mentioned a couple of times that CFDH likes to go with bullpen arms in starting roles in the tournament. Props to that poster!

Is UGa bringing in Mr. Sticky Stuff here?

UConn finishes off Duke 4-1, and Evansville takes down East Carolina, also by a 4-1 score. This opens the door a little wider for Wake Forest to make a return trip to a Super.

I hate to see this. It's not good for the game, but it's also just not smart baseball. I hope Army can put up some runs and win the game, but I must admit I was a little happy to see this particular move fail, as UGa put up a 3-spot.

Perhaps the coaching staff actually knew what they were doing with the schedule. :) - Yes, I'm guilty of sometimes acting like, and maybe even believing, that I know more than the guys like Coach Hall who do this for a living. This is another humbling example of "I was wrong, they were right".

Yeah, I also noted that, at the end of the day, our overall SoS was really good. It was raising (IOW, the number getting lower) by about 5 spots with every game we played there at the end of the season. As one of the national guys pointed out (I think it was Fitt), we played ONLY top 50 RPI...

Who woulda thunk that the Jackets pitching staff would have the lowest walk rate of any staffs in this regional?

To MWBATL, awesome analysis, thanks for this!

I hate to admit this, but I like UGa's baseball radio crew (Jeff Dantzler & David Johnston). They are unabashed homers, but they aren't disrespectful to the opponent, including "Tech" (they consciously never say GEORGIA Tech or Yellow Jackets). They are quite humorous, especially in games where...

I agree with those who say we don't have an ace and therefore choosing who should get the starts is essentially a random decision. Finateri, Jones, McKee, even McGuire, and King are all capable of having good outings and just as likely to be very poor. In this case I'll trust the coaches to read...
