- 4 games, all against SEC teams

- 2-2 record (28-7 against SEC before CWS)

- 16 total runs scored (4 per game, averaged 7.6 per game in SEC play)

- 16 runs allowed (actually pitched pretty well until they ran out of arms today)

- 5 HR’s (had 174 before CWS)

- 1.25 HR’s per game (2.76 before CWS)

- 4-28 (.143) with RISP…..awful. Never more than 1 hit with RISP in any game.

- 34 runners LOB (8.5 per game)

- 46 K’s (!!!!). 11.5 per game. Amazingly, they struck out 17 times yesterday, and still had enough pitching to beat Texas 2-0.

Complete offensive ineptitude. They were badly exposed. Team was simply not built to win in that stadium. Their approach at the plate which worked all season completely betrayed them this past week.

I think we may notice a different offensive philosophy from BOC next year as well. State had a record number of Homeruns, but still most of them were solo Homeruns. I expect to see a significant drop in HRs by State in 2027, but hopefully more runners on base when the doubles and HRs occur and much better pitching.

Hitting too many home runs was not our problem this year.

UGA teams under Johnson have always had a different vibe about them and they have always wilted against lower ranked teams at some point in the post season. This time it was in Omaha. One thing we have to say though is this year they absolutely owned us.

Rather than shatting on a Georgia team that had a great season and fell a little short, I’m gonna focus on an Oklahoma team on an epic heater.

They have taken Georgia college baseball souls the last few weeks.

Very true. It’s been cool to watch. But it’s also worth noting that Texas pitching handled them pretty well too. They just have not been able to match anything they did consistently for 35 games against SEC teams, in ANY of the 4 games in Omaha.

I haven’t seen many mea culpas here from those who declared Georgia the de facto national champions before the CWS started.

Somebody even said they wouldn’t be challenged in a single game.

True, but our timely hitting with RISP seemed to be pretty bad at least in our biggest games. I guess that Saturday game in the SR where we lost 13-12 to Georgia was one of the best ( or worst) examples of that issue. We hit 6 HRs in that game but 5 were solo shots. We built out a 6-0 lead including a 2 run homer in that mix. From that point, after the 2nd inning, we hit 5 solo HRs but were still outscored 13-6. The other run we got came from a bases loaded hit batter. We NEVER got a hit with RISP even though we had guys all over the bases the last 7 innings. If any of those HRs past the 2nd inning had come when we had men on base then that game has a different outcome. We could have easily had 15 or 16 runs in that game if we had gotten a key hit or two with RISP. And yes, 12 should have been enough but it wasn't.

Before the first game, team leader (and chief crotch grabber when looking at his momma) was showing off his fancy shoes, colorful arm guards, and flashy pendant necklace to the ESPN sideline reporter. I thought to myself that ‘can you imagine a guy like Bulldog Dawg Bruce putting on such show of himself’ before a game wearing the M over S. Both he and Lujo shat the bed this week. I was only baseball gods humbling the proud.

Didn’t say hitting too many homers was a problem. Not having guys nut up and get on base in front of the home run hitters was a problem when the bull pen couldn’t get the bad news bears line up out! This year’s team needed to outscore the Georgia’s, A&Ms, Auburns, Tennessee’s, Arkansas’ and Texas’ and couldn’t pull it off because of LOBs or nobody on when someone hit a HR. Last I checked a 2 rbi single or 3 run double is worth more than a Solo HR. “SITUATIONAL HITTING!”

I’m not looking it up, but weren’t we one of the better teams in the country with RISP?

Yeah, all of us with sense can see we didn’t get quite enough done on a too consistent basis against the best teams on our schedule. I really doubt that is going to cause Oak to make offensive philosophy changes that deemphasizes home runs.

I’m not sure if you can really say Omaha’s size impacted them or not. When you strike out 17 times in a game, you’re not really giving yourself a chance to hit home runs.

They WERE exposed.....by Oklahoma. The hottest team in the country.

They also beat Texas twice, once pretty soundly.

The whole 'can't hit home runs in Omaha' stuff is pretty 2013.

Oklahoma surely didn’t have a problem last night! I have to admit, I did throughly enjoy seeing Georgia struggle so much last night. I still think Georgia has the best lineup in college baseball but Oklahoma is just red hot right now.

Speaking of Georgia, the theatrical exit of some of their better-named players in their final collegiate at bat was out of a movie. The Branch home run, brother’s acknowledgement, family crying in the stands got the emotions flowing…Phelps and Jackson too. Pure theater. ESPN was lapping it up.

This OK team came into the Regionals having lost 4-5 SEC series to end the year.
They went to arguably the toughest Regioanl and won it and then went on the road to KS and won that one which I don’t think was super exceptional except for the fact that they did in fact win it.
This is an excellent example of a team just getting very hot at the right time.
See om in ‘22 as another.

Was it good hitting? UGA looked like the quit hitting to me. Or maybe not being able to hit home runs killed them. It seems to me that each year a team gets hot at the right time and makes a run. OU has done a good job of not walking batters. They are pitching to contact and challenging batters. NC vs OU promises to be a good match-up. I won't be surprised if either team wins.
