Problem wasnt the top pick hitting a HR, it was all the non-competitive pitches to walk the guys on the bottom of the order so after the HR they had 4 runs instead of 1

I'm more upset about the umpiring mistakes in the first than I am pitching decisions. You aren't going to win this game scoring one run, those calls took two runs off the board for us.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

But we struck him out first time with no one on so why not!
I'm not pitching to him there, he even called him a Halloween nightmare but yet pitches to him with 2 on and 2 out and first base open???
Definitely have our work cut out for us. Guy made us pay for a bad pitch - hopefully we can return the favor here and get one or two back.

Runners on 1st and 2nd
It's been tighter than the college typical all CWS. Closer to what theyll see at the next level...well, the guys who will move on, that isNairo said:

So so soooooo STUPID starting Dom in this game, y'all can rag me if you want but AVENT has royally screwed up his pitching decisions in this CWS
I wasn't so against starting Dom. If you start Whitaker today, then you have to start Dom vs Kentucky/A&M anyway. So the order didn't really matter IMO.
But the decision to not put in Smith in the bottom of the 9th to start the inning will go down as an all-time bad coaching decision in my book. Outside of what you think about Dudan (I love Dudan), it just made zero sense whatsoever.
of course but once he is up you walk him too....make someone else beat youSportManagementEngineer said:Indeed.M_A said:

We were never going to get a low scoring game from Florida. We are going to have to out hit them to win.
It was 1st and 2nd. No one is intentionally walking the bases loaded in that situation to face their three hitter.

It's our second at bat. Nowhere close to being done. Get some runs

Dom shouldn't have still been in the game imo.
Open base with the way Dom pitched that inning I am making someone else beat me there.
UVA is at home because they wouldn't walk a guy.

They worked the bases loaded and got 4. We had bases loaded with one out and got 1.
That's another argument. If we get the same strike zone from the previous half inning we're not having this conversation.wirewolf said:WilsonWolf said:It was 1st and 2nd.

Assuming Whit comes in soon. Even if you come back and win this game, you've burned your three weekend starters just to go 1-1.
Avent didn't learn from Saturday. Start with your best guy - Smith in the 9th up 1 & Whitaker today.

We didn't help ourselves there getting to 0-2 swinging (and checking) at balls out the zone against a guy walking everybody.wilmwolf said:

I was OK with Saturday for the most partClePack said:Glasswolf said:
I love Avent but here is his usual monthly brain fart game. That's 22 HR's given up by Fritton
Could make the argument he had that brain fart Saturday, too. Just not good enough decision making in the cws.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Disagree? You're facing a top 4 pick in the MLB Draft with 33 home runs batting .411. Likely the only guy on Florida's team to hit one out of the park with the wind coming in.WilsonWolf said:It was 1st and 2nd.

Their 3 hitter today has 59 at bats on the season. 2 HRs, 14 RBI's.
With 2 outs, you just need 1 out either way, no matter what's on the bases.
Bad decision. Like James said vs UGA, don't let the best player beat you.

Well aware. The guy who just struck out on three straight fastballs with good location. Don't throw it down the middle to him and we're fine.James Henderson said:Sure you are.

Weak, weak, and weak from 8,9, and 1 there.

That's the story of our entire season. A trend that showed up day 1 and never got resolved.
Personally I think there is a little too much inexperience in parts of our lineup
Aside from one game vs UGA, we've been awful with RISP.Nairo said:

Been an absolute killer.
Starting Dom was a horrific decision

Yeah, I'd love to strike him out everytime he's up, but he's also a guy who doesn't strike out much at all IIRC and the danger he presents is too risky with two outs and an inferior guy behind him.WilsonWolf said:Well aware.

Lefty on the mound for Florida. We're in trouble.

Announcers said that Elliot told them Soles' hamstring is 80% and you could tell by the way he ran down to first on his hit. Not sure how long you can leave him in the outfield if his hamstring is that bad.

Similar to same batting order vs a lefty as a righty.

I just want to make sure I understand this.
There are people saying NC State should have issued an intentional walk with runners at 1st and 2nd, thus loading the bases?
EDIT: In the second inning?
