[CochiseCowbell]

No. Their guy made some really good pitches. Our guy hung a ball

Their starter did TODAY did.

IMO Our team could probably have won 6 of the 8 super regionals. We just got a bad draw .

Time to resend.

Jay Powell said earlier in the radio broadcast that Ace would definitely not project as a 3rd baseman in the pros, and that 1st base was likely his landing spot. Said no issues offensively, but they'd have to find a spot for him defensively

I’m sure. Either first or LF. But it was highly doubtful we were going to find someone that was a dramatic improvement over Reece at 3rd that was also a better hitter than stallman… not to mention stallman was a great first baseman.

Yep....and screw everybody who ain't proud of 'em. Now I'm done with college baseball for the year including the world series....won't watch it.

I can’t help but returning to the draw what got. We had to handle business and didn’t. I think if we’re in any other SR we’re in Omaha.

probably, but we got a very favorable regional draw. It is what it is

Are we expecting him to hit a HR or 2B every AB?

It really felt like that series was the best two teams left in college baseball.

Not with the State bullpen.

 

[lanceharbor7]

Hate to lose, but that was fun.

I’m gonna root for Georgia. SEC team likely to win it, may as well be our best.

btw, Parker tied Palmeiro’s frosh HR record at 18

17 UGA. I hope the whole team gets felony speeding tickets this week. Which is a possibility in Athens.

Man you’ve got some serious issues. I guess you missed his other at bats. Him and Parker practically kept us in that game.

Exactly. 17 rooting for any other SEC team.

A good, promising season for a first-year head coach.

Regardless of the outcome, these two teams are pretty well matched in this series.

Regardless of the outcome my ***, we lost to those ******** SIX (6) straight times, and that's with half of them being within the friendly confines of DNF!! There ain't nothing close to well matched between these two teams!!

ESPN, TV discussions, touting our games as one of the best Super Regionals of all time.
It was entertaining., very.

He was clutch throughout the postseason. Just another reactionary poster who doesn’t get it.

 

[Right_Field_Heckler]

He doesn't project as a 3rd baseman in the pros. Jay Powell said as much on the radio broadcast earlier in the game. Said his offensive talent was not an issue, but they'd have to find a place for him defensively, and also said 1st base would likely be his landing spot in the pros

Two points:

1. I'm not sure his projected MLB position should be viewed as determinative of where he plays in college.
2. While JP did say that, he also noted that the Ace was handling 3B well. His view seemed to be less about the player's ability to play 3B and more about the belief that first base may ultimately be the better fit at the professional level.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Having watched several Pro games this season, that won't an issue for him.
He will hang on.
