Game 1 in Omaha.

[ALLNCARD]

go Cards! A&M is on the ropes early!

 

[nccardfan]

Yes! But we need to play smart. That's the one aspect I have seen less of this year. Getting too cute. We should have scored again that inning. No let up! Go Cards!

 

[ALLNCARD]

Agreed, Mann throwing error perfect example. Go Cards!!

 

[earsky]

We got the 5-0 lead,and to a man,they let go of the focus.McKay still looks sharp to me,just made a few mistakes.

 

[earsky]

Now's the time to get in here and finish these guys,like we missed 2 innings ago.

 

[nccardfan]

Notice how when we get up to bat, the inning is over quick. We have always been an aggressive hitting team under Dan but it's working against Brendan because he doesn't get any rest.

 

[ALLNCARD]

Too many runners getting on base, time to tighten up our defense.

 

[nccardfan]

Those are just base hits nothing the defense can do about it. Here comes Sam!

 

[earsky]

I think coach probably shoulda had somebody out there going in to that inning,just off the pitch count.

 

[nccardfan]

Wasn't necessarily pitch count for Brendan, he threw 114 against UK and it wasn't velocity 92 mph. It's overall fatigue. He hasn't gone past 5.5 innings in four of his last outings.

 

[nccardfan]

Cmon Colby! Bust it open.

 

[nccardfan]

I'll take a RBI walk. Now it's Devin's turn. Something deep, nothing on the ground.

 

[nccardfan]

Back to 3 run lead. Cmon bullpen!

 

[cewsmith]

Back to 3 run lead. Cmon bullpen!

Good win!
