So I guess when you stack up talent like Bama does in football it pays off. Jesus Christ is Vandy a fuckin load. Even if we somehow make it outta the loser’s bracket on a miracle, our pitching won’t be back in time for the championship series now. That rain delay was huge.

Kayak is true
Gotta take 2 from Michigan.

We'll have Micah Dallas, Lanning (our weekday starter) and everyone from the pen available tomorrow. Killian may be available on 4 days rest along with the other of Dallas and Lanning if we make it to Saturday.

One of these games is going to have to either be pitch by committee or Lanning giving a quality start. Either in the Saturday elim vs Michigan (if we make it), or during the championship series (again, if we make it). Fascinating bit of strategy there. If you pitch Dallas Friday, you won't be able to use him until the Champ finale. If you pitch Killian Saturday, you won't be able to use him at all in the champ series.

My guess is that Tadlock sends Dallas out Friday for his 3rd time vs Michigan (because if you can't get to the bracket finale, what good is all of this), then tries Lanning Saturday with a short leash and Killian from the pen. Champ rotation becomes Bonnin, Killian, Dallas.

It was worth the risk watching this game at work. Insane, going from awesome start to worried after the 2nd inning comeback then just :vince: since then.

Go blue, and go Louisville.

Some excellent starting pitchers for Michigan.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
It is wild that Michigan is going to be playing for a championship. Win or lose from here, it's a huge boost for cold-weather teams.

just to let you know, if you're cheering for Vandy to win the CWS you're objectively evil, because you indirectly support the Whistler

Go Blue!

Last several major national title shots we had (basketball, hockey, softball) all lost in heartbreak. It's playing with house money just being here but dang it'd be nice to close this one out.

edit: dang, that's a nice start (even with the blown call at 3rd earlier)

Tommy Henry has been so loving good this entire tournament.

Criswell only threw like 10 pitches so he should be okay to start tomorrow against Rocker.

I dunno, try throwing six or seven more directly into the fuckin' dirt, they're bound to swing at one

That was depressing to watch. The first 3 runs were caused by wild pitches and errors. At least we don't have to see Rocker again tonight.

Yep.

Welp that was still a good season and a great run. I made it out to one game late this season and saw Paige, Keizer, and one of the over game 2 relievers pitch so clearly I'm cursed and should avoid going to future baseball games (and my old man back makes sitting through a whole game and driving home rough . Doesn't seem to bother my dad tho so guess I'm just a wuss.)

Congrats Vandy.
