Auburn CWS Game Thread

[fishepa]

Don’t the hitters know they’re not supposed to be able to hit when there is a shadow?

[tgrogan21]

Full count to the next batter.

Another barrelled ball off the glove of Barnett into CF.

1-0 Arkansas

[fishepa]

We seem to get down early every single game. 

[tgrogan21]

Passed ball and the runner moves up. Jesus, this is a horrible start. Mound visit already.

[mustache eagle]

Whelp that’s not the way to start

[fishepa]

Never a good sign when you have someone warming up in the bullpen and you haven’t recorded a single out yet. 

[tgrogan21]

2-0 count ... 3-1 count ... Great job from LaRue to save a wild pitch and the runner advancing.

Full count ... STRIKE OUT! Great job battling back there. Hope that gets him the confidence he needs!

[Chrisporter4]

you're going to have to hit good pitching to go far in the NCAA tournament. We are going to have to score some runs. 

[tgrogan21]

Gets up 0-2 with a swing on a ball in the dirt.

Warning issued to Barnett on the pitch clock. He's been extremely slow this inning, the clock has expired multiple times.

Barnett is very, very, very slow in getting into his stance, windup, and throwing the pitch. 2-2 count. This guy is battling off with several foul balls on 2 strike pitches. 7 foul balls with 2 strikes, at least 12 pitches. Ground out but runner moves up.

Hate having that long battle when we need to save arms.

[AUBwins]

This guy is working Barnett good right now. Using him up

[mustache eagle]

Arky looked good batting for 2 innings before their bats went quiet.  Let’s do that to em tonight 

[Brad_ATX]

That was one hell of an AB

[tgrogan21]

2-0 count ... evened it up 2-2. Full count, LaRue saved another wild pitch. Barnett will be at 35ish pitches before the inning is over.

STRUCK HIM OUT! 33 pitches. Need some quick innings coming up from him or we'll hit that bullpen extremely early.

Rambusch, Moore, DiChiara coming up.

1-0 Arkansas B1st

[BigBlueWDE]

Geez, 33 pitch first inning. He will be gone in the 3rd at that rate

[AUBwins]

33 pitches is a rough start but thank goodness only 1 run

[mustache eagle]

Sigh of relief to only give up 1.  Barnett looked better towards end of inning but not like last outing 

[tgrogan21]

Rambusch with a 2 pitch ground out.

3-1 count to Moore. Need to run this pitch count up and get hits/walks. Full count ... barely a ball 4. Pitcher got squeezed HARD.

 

[tgrogan21]

0-2 count to DiChiara ...Don't need his bat to go cold right now.

1-2 count and DiChiara grounds into a double play.

Edit: That's going to be reviewed as the SS ran to the bag and then threw. Good call on the field and it won't be overturned. Dumb challenge from Auburn, imo.

1-0 Arkansas T2nd.

The 263 pound first baseman is slow.  I'm SHOCKED!  SHOCKED I TELL YA!

[mustache eagle]

Ouch

[fishepa]

What a dumb challenge he was clearly out. 

[BigBlueWDE]

Well, Arky has every advantage after 1

Pitch count 33 vs 13

Score 1 - 0

Momentum after the double play

Shortstop probably could have just ran to 1st and still got him out. 

[Tigerbelle]

No matter what happens tonight......I am very proud of this team. Every Auburn fan should be.

 

Arky doesn't look tired to me. My Tigers look....tense.
