  1. Good job NCAA, now you just fucked what was a great event for no reason. Really well handled by all involved.
  2. But why were 4 NC State vaccinated players that tested positive allowed to be in the dugout yet not allowed to play and why were they even allowed to be in the dugout to begin with. (Edit: It seems some of them may have played which is even more reason to test Vanderbilt) Vaccinated people can contract the virus so if you are going to test NC State’s vaccinated players that came into contact with the unvaccinated NC State players then one would think you would test all the Vanderbilt players if you actually cared about the players safety. Vanderbilt had played 2 games in the past 5 days against NC State but NC State’s vaccinated players are the only ones you were worried about getting it? Yeah I’m not buying it. If you want to say NC State and everybody new the rules, fine and fair enough, I won’t argue that, but don’t say it’s about player safety if you aren’t going to test a single Vanderbilt player that played 2 games against them in the past 5 days.
  3. And what an absolute elite 2-2 take holy shit. Live by the patience die by the patience and tonight we live boys
  4. BIG DICK ZACH!!! FUCK YEAH!!! Sheath that you Virginia pussies
  5. We'll be fine pitching wise, the biggest worry if we do get to face them again is whether we can find enough offense to help the pitching out. Ty will 100% be going Friday and I would imagine Tristan would start Saturday. Against Tennessee there were 2 runs that we pretty much manufactured on the base paths: 1) Mike Antico stealing 2nd and advancing to 3rd on an error before being driven in on a ground ball out and 2) Eric Kennedy stealing 3rd by baiting the throw to 2nd and scoring on a wild pitch. Those are the things it will take to beat Mississippi State, oh, and not striking out 21 times. Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. If Mississippi State puts up a bunch of runs early or say Virginia gets to Hansen and forces us to go to the pen early then yeah we could be stretched thin but if we get another lights out start from Pete tomorrow which most expect, we'll be fine for 2 games against Mississippi State.
  6. Today he managed his ass off and the boys played well total 180 from Sunday where he might as well have gone and had a beer with OccupyLF
  7. The 2B fielded the cutoff and would have seen Ardoin clear as day had he tried to take 2nd
  8. What. A. Pick from Ardoin. Anybody who has played the game knows how hard that is with a catchers glove
  9. The weirdest thing about us is it isn’t even home or road where we struggle. It’s been strictly neutral site tournament like setups where this team has looked like a dead corpse offensively.
  10. On an unrelated note to the absolute abortion of an offensive performance we saw last night for 8 innings, Ty Madden was phenomenal and featured a 3rd pitch last night for the first time I believe. Forgot what inning but he threw a 2-seamer last night at 87.
  11. Augie did it plenty of times over balls and strikes. You are in the 8th inning you've looked sick all night mostly because you've sucked but somewhat because the home plate ump has been ass all night. You haven't had anything going all night, runner on 1st with 2 outs, Hodo comes up against one of the best relievers in the country works a 3-1 count then gets a called strike around his neck and you don't even get off the top step. Obviously you can't make a habit of getting tossed, Augie never did, but he knew when to draw the line in the sand to make sure his players knew he had their back. I'd say the 8th inning and 2 outs of game 1 of college world series when your team had struck out a billion times (some of which on some horseshit) is the perfect time to show some fire and let your team know that you've got their back but hey that is just me. Like I said throughout the night I wasn't even mad at the players towards the end of the night and was proud of how they played in the bottom of the 9th, they showed more heart in that half inning than Pierce did all night. I'm not going to create a new thread so I just posted in here, obviously you are not going to fire the guy but for anybody that watched that game tonight to be able to sit there and say they didn't feel for the players when they were having to sit there and deal with a strike zone that was all over the place all fucking night. Just to have their manager not come off the top step one time all night? Are you kidding me... Who the fuck knows if him getting tossed would have made a difference, probably wouldn't have and hell they still almost came back even with him standing their like a spectator, but for fucks sake have their back. Is what it is now. I'll be pulling like hell for them Tuesday against Tennessee and beyond because I love this group of guys. Just a total apathetic coaching job tonight from Pierce IMO who is now 0-3 in Omaha and has been outscored 19-7 in those games.
  12. I don't even care, even had we won everything in that post would have been true. As a manager the #1 thing you can't fail at is having your players back and he was a total spectator tonight. Might as well have taken the uniform off and gone and sat up in the stands. Players at least played like hell and showed heart in the 9th and I was hoping they pulled it off for each other because I sure as hell know Pierce wasn't going to go out there and show any heart or stick up for them.
  13. Hats off to the boys tonight win or lose for this bottom 9th. Pierce should take some notes on what heart looks like
