It hasn't shut up the annoying whistler yet though. I don’t think 3 will beat Vandy. And Kumar seems to have found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Rocker looked like we expected him to look in the second inning. 3-1 after 2. I also agree, Arizona better put some more runs in if they want to win.

rebmus Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 6-5 Vandy still batting in the 7th. Rocker rebounded very nicely after the first inning. Both teams in the bullpen now. Both teams may reach double digits before this game ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Interesting, if Vandy holds on here, then Stanford & Arizona will be playing an elimination game Monday. That would be a bit of a surprise IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bit of a surprise IMO. The surprise, to me, is NC State playing so well. I'm sticking with Vandy/Arizona are the best two teams in this bracket. Whoever wins tonight obviously has the best chance to reach the finals. Whoever loses, I still like their chances of getting to the semis. (No disrespect to NC State or Stanford).

Bulldogs4 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Zona scratches out a run to send it to the bottom of the ninth. Been a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wcchaingang Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Vandy walks off a very good game. But man I really hate the whistler. He almost makes the game unwatchable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 He is awful. If he only did it occasionally it would not be so bad but it is incessant and that is what makes it so horrific. Evidently the Vandy fans like because they clap in unison to it. Uggggghhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost makes the game unwatchable.. Can’t believe I just sat through 12 innings of The Whistler and Eduardo Perez. That was one of the better CWS games of recent memory and it was pretty much ruined by a commentary team that doesn’t know jack about college baseball (KP excluded) and the total sideshow that is the whistler. It’s an embarrassment that a great program like Vandy has that jerk affiliated with them. Edited June 20, 2021 by Dawg83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Isn’t there actually two of them? I think I read that if one isn’t there, another person does it. Regardless, it absolutely sucks. Great game though. I was actually pulling for Arizona. I don’t watch much baseball until the playoffs, but I always hear people blast Perez and Peterson. What’s the problem with them?

What’s the problem with them? Peterson is very good. It’s Ravech and Perez that I have an issue with. They are MLB guys that don’t cover college baseball all season and then they bring them in at the end for the biggest games of the year. And it’s very obvious every year that they know very little about the teams that are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) I agree w/83 that Eduardo Perez is horrible. They need to have replaced him years ago. Most of the guys are really good but listening to him is like hearing fingernails on a chalk board. Ugggghhhh. I hope they have Ben McDonald on our game. He is good and is knowledgeable. Plus he likes State. Edited June 20, 2021 by Bulldogs4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “B” team that calls the day games is far better than the “A” team that calls the night games, in my opinion, I don’t just love Tom Hart but he’s fine, and McDonald and Burke are usually very good.

Bulldogs4 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Crud then. I was hoping they would swap the crews from day to day. Can’t believe the afternoon crew is the “B” crew. Oh well. I will suffer through them. Though I need to learn how to sync the radio guys with the TV. I definitely enjoy listening to Jim & Jay.

Wcchaingang Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I believe it was Kyle Peterson at the SEC tournament made the statement he missed everything about being in the booth except for the whistler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Back to actual baseball talk, I’m really impressed by what NC State has done this postseason. They’re way better than their seed, if not for a really bad start to the season they probably would’ve hosted easily. They will have a massive challenge with Leiter tomorrow night but they figured out a way to beat Kevin Kopps so you can’t rule anything out. Arizona-Stanford is an incredibly strong loser’s bracket game. Both of those teams can slug it and both have some pitching depth issues so that may be a game where both teams score double digits. State-Texas is a really good matchup tonight. I think State has a great chance to win but obviously a Texas win is entirely possible too. In some ways I’m almost more intrigued by the early game. Not sure what to make of Virginia, or how Tennessee will look on the big stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSTSatchmo Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 UVA up 1-0. Another homerun in the CWS. This time by a guy that went hit less in the super. You just never know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebmus Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 MSU breaks through with 2 runs in the top of the 4th. That may be enough the way Bednar is mowing down the Texas batters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebmus Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Still 2-0 after 6. Bednar gave up 1 hit and had FIFTEEN strikeouts in 6 innings, what a performance. He gave up a walk in the 7th on 110 pitches so bullpen time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
