Athens Super Regional Game 2 thread...

[Msuirondawgs]

UGA loses a LOT of production next year. Phelps, Jackson to draft. Branch, Black, O'Shaughnessy, Hudson, Pitchers Aoki, Volchko, Brennan, Scott, Vigue, Edwards, Behnke, Ellisen, Kosiwich.. Lujo is a top 200 projected draft pick, and could go or stay

Yep. This year or bust for them. Hopefully bust

 

[Baddog11]

I think it is Mike Fichter.

What about the ump at 1st base

They will just reload from the portal which is SOP for them now

Pathetic this pitching staff is a joke.

It’s pretty sad. Just a lack of experienced good arms. The injury to McPherson hurt. But pitching staff issues go a lot deeper than that. Not sure how much is coaching, recruiting or evaluating. But we need to be bringing some pitchers for next year. Maybe a pitching coach too.

that's a lot of production and chemistry to replace. as we have seen. the portal can mis-lead you

 

[ronpolk]

Because our bullpen is garbage. Actually most our pitching

A lot of you guys are going to be real disappointed when a bunch of this staff is on the team next year. They aren’t nearly as bad as you guys want to make them out to be. They are pretty young, especially compared to the position guys. I’m sure we will try to add a few impact guys but I don’t expect us to be running everyone off.

Postgame questions:
“Coach, it felt like Georgia just wanted it more, would you agree with that assessment?”
“Coach, how impressed were you with the number of state fans who came over to Athens?”

Are you on drugz?

barely, if any, development by the staff. same stuff we've suffered from since Scott Foxhall was here. Gary Henderson is the last really good pitching coach we've had

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Yesterday we had a plate ump that wouldn't appeal down the lines. Today we have one that appeals almost every swing.

What the hell?

 

[Baddog11]

tv announcer: “Coach, it seems like the Georgia lead off man produces every inning, why?”
Boc: “great question”

 

[Muttley]

What about the ump at 1st base

Brian Marine is behind the plate, that's all I know.

 

[BTCMoonBoy]

more outside than the last 17n pitch

 

[ababyatemydingo]

3 strikeouts in the inning. 2 of them backwards K's

 

[Baddog11]

Aoki punches out the side in the 4th

 

[8dog]

Gotta swing when it’s close but the catcher just owned the ump that inning

 

[vandaldawg]

This guy is like an unsolveable mystery for us. Unreal.

 

[lazlow]

sure this ump will recipicate stone pitches that are in the batter's box.**

 

[ababyatemydingo]

Gotta swing when it’s close but the catcher just owned the ump that inning

there's a good reason he's a projected 1st rounder this year

 

[anon1787432961]

Tell me that last pitch was a strike. It ended up in the batters box

 

[Baddog11]

Gotta swing when it’s close. Dont get caught looking twice.

 

[curseddawgs]

You know the team that they are facing can hit the **** out of the ball, right?

Been a problem all year against any above average batting lineup

 

[ronpolk]

3 strikeouts in the inning. 2 of them backwards K's

Well to be fair, the 2 backwards k’s were in the other batters box.

But that is partially our fault. This guy refuses to throw righties inside and he’s constantly getting that way outside strike call. We need to be crowding the plate and adjust to that but we aren’t.

Got a feeling GA about to bust this one wide open here in the 5th.

 

[thekimmer]

About to get ugly

it's not as bad as it looks. the camera in center field is way off to the left of where it is in most parks, so you really can't tell where the ball is crossing the plate. I've been to that park before and it's a weird setup they have. the whole park is mickey mouse

 

[Baddog11]

Hey @ronpolk at least you got to try Buccee’s for the first time!

nobody seems to remember Jurrangelo’s 8 ERA his first year. Talented pitchers often get better. We are young on the mound

 

[skydawg1]

HP:	Brian Marine
1B:	Jeff Head
2B:	Tim Russo
3B:	Mike Fichter

 

[lazlow]

defintely a play at the plate

 

[thekimmer]

Why weren’t we playing in with a runner on third with one out?

 

[skydawg1]

7-2 middle of the 5th.

 

[Baddog11]

Jeff Head. Yep. That’s who I thought it was.

I think we are really talented on the mound in our freshman and sophomore classes. But this will be a key offseason of development for several guys. Experience should not be an issue next year, though. But we do need to find some guys in the portal who can give you tough innings.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

that strike call was at Chance's neckline

 

[Right_Field_Heckler]

Our pitching staff, past our best 2-3 guys, is just not capable of competing against GA right now.

Then you throw in the fact that those 2-3 guys have had their worst appearances this year in the SR...not a recipe for success.

 

[RocketDawg]

That was a strike? Almost over his head.

 

[lazlow]

This guy is like an unsolveable mystery for us. Unreal.

Aoki does a really good job of mixing his pitches. and alot of the ones that do meet solid contact are....just foul.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

he's gonna throw that one too many times to ace

 

[patdog]

I agree. Some of these young guys do have potential. I think part of the problem is we didn’t maybe recruit as well for pitchers 2 & 3 years ago more than we didn’t last year.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

can't get a clutch hit when we need it. more stranded runners

 

[skydawg1]

7-2 after 5. Sully strikes out with runners on the corners.
