Hogs vs Vanderbilt—Baseball

[Cardiac Hog]

That one is on Wiggins, Helfrick had no chance on the wild pitch. 

And were the hell are some of these pitches ump?

[Barton Fink]

Envelope strike zone for us.

True, but if the home plate and third base umps hadn't fucked us that runner would've never been on base.  Bat made it halfway across the plate, but even if it hadn't the pitch was easily in the zone.  Robo umps can't get here soon enough.

Top of the eighth.

Aloy the Younger leads off. Flies out on a diving catch in right center. 1 down.

Iredale goes down swinging. 2 down.

Kozeal lines out to short.

3-3 Mid 8.

[Barton Fink]

Helluva catch

[Son of Spam]

Bottom of the eighth.

Johnston leads off. Goes down swinging. 1 down.

Nelson takes strike 3 for a ball. Have I said fuck this ump? Goes down swinging. 2 away.

Rose runs the count full. Goes down swinging

And that is a chicken dinner winner! Payer will be notified at a later date.

3-3 after 8.

[Show-Me Hog]

Jimenez is so solid.

Wish he would have come in instead of Wiggins.  I guess you can't use him every game, though.

[Son of Spam]

Top of the ninth.

Helfrick needs to give us a chance and at least get on base. Ump loves that outside called strike. 2-2 count. Goes down swinging at a high fast ball, 1 down.

Souza grounds out to second. 2 down.

Thomas runs the count full. Walks.

Davalan flies out to deep center.

3-3 mid 9.

[Hognrock]

Great inning by Jimenez. Need a run here but its the bottom of our order.

Davalan hits everything hard.  A little more loft on that one and it was easily gone.

[DirkPiggler]

Bad feeling here.  Something weird is likely to happen, probably a result of one or more bad calls.

[Show-Me Hog]

Unfortunately I sense a Vandy victory here in the bottom of the 9th.

[Son of Spam]

Bottom of the ninth.

Barczi grounds to deep short. Great catch and throw by Aloy for the out. 1 away.

Vastine goes down swinging. 2 away.

Rigdon singles to right.

Mancini grounds out to second.

3-3 after 9.

[Hognrock]

Bad feeling here.  Something weird is likely to happen, probably a result of one or more bad calls.

If it doesn't, we have the meat of the order due up for the 10th.
What a damn play by Aloy!

[Show-Me Hog]

Unfortunately I sense a Vandy victory here in the bottom of the 9th.

Aloy's fantastic play completely changed my mind.  And changed the vibe of the inning.

[Barton Fink]

Yeah that was a damn good play. Nice work by Jimenez

[DirkPiggler]

Aloy's fantastic play completely changed my mind.  And changed the vibe of the inning.

That would be a SportsCenter Top 10 play if they acknowledged the existence of college baseball.

Extra innings! Top of the tenth. Green (WHP) in for the ghey boys.

Aloy the Elder leads off. Singles off the second baseman's glove.

They gave him a single?  It was hit hard but went directly off the 2B glove.  That's an error at this level.

[DirkPiggler]

Agreed.  Official scorers are too lenient these days.

[BleedinRed]

Unbelievable 10th inning.  Two squeezes in a row.  

Let's go one more!
