Arizona State Game Thread

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

This game had me worried going in and ASU’s pitcher thru almost 5 innings gave up only 2 hits.
We broke it open on their first reliever.
Impressed with McPherson - 4 hits thru 7 innings of work.
Let’s not let up tomorrow vs VA Tech.
Have no idea what kind of team they have?

3 PB? Uh, per NCAA scoring he has 0 errors.

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Well I was watching it and he did give up 3 pb's. He reaches instead of shifting. Raymond can hit too.

I do agree on the reach part. It's just nice to have some depth at catcher finally!

 

[patdog]

@patdog messed with Jobu and almost led to a 9th inning rally by the Sun Devils.

7-1 while I wasn't watching. 1-3 while I was. I am not good luck.

Yeah, but if you have 5 catchers you dont have one. I would love to see Chone or Raymond separate, Chone needs to "chore" up his defense though. He called a great game.

Happens every time I watch our basketball team.

Bryce Chance has made two big-time defensive - one in right field & one in left field plus driving in the first run of the game

And don't overlook the fact that, after we took a solid lead, Oak pulls Vytas and puts Bryce in left and Nunnalee in right for defense.

It's nice to have a coach who you can just be certain knows wtf he's doing at all times.

 

[Ozarkdawg]

Yeah, I wasn't going to say it but since you almost did

I don't either, but they're definitely better than everybody we've played before today.

 

[She Mate Me]

He's a track star

Well, he looks like he should have been in Chariots of Fire.

 

[She Mate Me]

Again, what is the deal with Milewski? Starts first two games and just disappears. Anybody know?

Virginia Tech has a solid club that will be in the regional hosting discussion, although I think they will end up a #2 seed. They are 7-1 and No. 16 in the RPI. They play A&M tonight.

A quick look at VA Techs schedule says they’re 7-1 with 2 series wins vs William and Mary and Rutgers - one Rutgers game they lost 1-16. Beat ETSU and James Madison also.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Not impressed at all with Oak's pitching decisions.

I really didn't want to see us burn Duke Stone or Ben Davis for the weekend after getting a 7 run lead today.

Tommy Delicious on the bump tomorrow

How come we don't get a prime time game? Where's the love?

I’m fine with an early game today. Now I can kick back, and relax. Trying to convince the wife to be my dd for crawfish and beer.

It's in Arlington and A&M is playing. They're getting all the prime time.

Tommy Delicious on the bump tomorrow

I kinda thought he might get saved for UCLA, but if he can go 5+ and save the bullpen that may be the ticket.

Dubious late closing giving up 2 bombs made me worry a bit about whether we have someone to step into that role .

I think Miller will be fine this year. With a 6 run lead in the 9th, I think he was probably told to pound the strike zone and not walk anybody. The result can be what you saw. Some fireworks but no real threat of getting beat.

 

[onewoof]

7 hits by 7 different players

Miller is a freshman getting some time in a non crucial situation.

 

[patdog]

We have several guys who can step into that role. He won’t be one of them. Why waste a closer with an 8-2 lead?

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

If that was a save situation we are going to Webb or Davis. I love Miller’s potential but he’s not our closer. That was just us letting a young talented arm get some work with a big lead.
