The Aggies start off the SEC tourney today against Kyle's Tide. And of course we've brought our butterfingers along. Boot of a double play ball in the first allows 2 unearned runs to cross. As of now it's tied 3-3 in the 7th... We have the worst middle infield I've seen in a while.
Thankfully the outfield is a sight better. Bama loads em in the ninth, but a runner gunned down from left field preserves the 4-3 lead. Ags face Vandy/Mizzou winner tomorrow. A win should give us a good shot at a national seed.
Miami wins game one against Virginia with a seven run comeback in the ACC conference round robin Championship..... http://www.theacc.com/news/hurricanes-rally-past-cavaliers-05-20-2015
Vandy saved their best pitching for tomorrow. I'd just like see the Aggies play a clean defensive game. If we can do that I'll be happy.
Well... the Aggies not only play a clean defensive game, they also chew up Vandy's ace to the tune of a 6-1 win. Matt Kent throws a 4 hit complete game. Saved his best of the year for today.
I watched ND lose 3-0 to NC State. The NCS pitcher handcuffed us for 7 innings, and the closer also shut us down. We play Virginia at 11 tomorrow morning if the rain holds off.
I saw a recap of your game Sid. Looked like that kid for NCSt really had it working. Sometimes you run into a day like that.
He did, Scott. In all, NC State pitching racked up 14 SO and held us to 3 hits. The Irish bounced back today, beating Virginia 8-2. Up next is red hot Miami at 3:00 tomorrow. Miami plays NC State later today. Virginia is out with 2 losses, but the pool is up for grabs among the remaining 3 teams.
Well we're not as hot as we think we are Sid, NC State late hit dooms us to a 5-4 loss.... So now we both can't afford a loss....
Ah, there's the Efense I've come to know and love. In a game that was 4-3 in the 5th, the Aggies give 3 extra outs, and the blow out is on. Going to the 6th 5-3 is worlds different than 9-3. Their pitching fooled us the rest of the way, so at best it ends in a two run loss, but that sure looks better than 12-3. Ugh. AND... I'm not a fan of this format. The Aggies are eliminated at 2-1, losing to a team they already beat. I think I'd like to do the pool format you ACC guys are doing.
I am not a fan of your format either Scott, give me the pool format any day.. Canes get a 6-5 win against the Irish who would not give up all the way to the end..Great game Irish...
