Is there a chance we host if UNC gets upset also? Yes. NCAA has a crazy "bid" system for the SR's but you can bet we will host if the Tar Heels get knocked out. Not happening, in my opinion though.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I want to make sure I have it straight. Whoever we face Sunday at 5 pm, will have to beat us twice to win the regional? Thanks and let's win it today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 The Tech coach has a great history but JMO....he let his heart instead of his head make the decision to allow a tired pitcher to stay in the game when it was obvious that AU batters were starting to hit him a bit in the previous innings and in the 9th too. So ...Fuller this afternoon to start? or does it depend on who we are playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results are great, but nothing against Paul Ellen, but it's not a great walk off call. WHen an announcer has that knack to nail it on exciting plays or winning scores or walk off hits, then as fans, we know it. Ellen is good, but does not have that voice that gives you goose bumps or that crescendo at that epic moment on a call. Rod had it, Jim had it. There are others we as fans have heard for our favorite teams too. And that ESPN announcer? It's bad when he doesn't even know the situation, and thinks a walk off homerun has tied it up, instead of wins it. lol. He realizes right at the end of his statement. So obvious.....

But keep winning in the post season and no one will remember. Much like the Basketball team, our baseball team has just as much talent as the previous banner year but if we can find our groove late, we can still have a very successful season. War Eagle and let's win one more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young and inexperienced pitchers have been thrown into very deep water, nearly drowed at times but are now figuring out how to tread water. It has been one of the more frustrating seasons for me to watch, win today and that will ease a lot of the pain. Still should be some serious accountability with two key assistants. I'd love to hear Williams say something has changed with how Gabe has coached his mental approach (don't know what happened this week but I'm hoping something clicked for the coach that translated to the field for pupil).

He has had an unbeleivable wealth of talent on the flats and has done just about nothing with it. That was one of the reasons I thought we could have a chance in an Atlanta regional. I have seen the Jackets lose so many regionals/super regionals on that field. Hall has lost a regional or super regional 7 freaking times at home...that's got to be a record. They haven't advanced past the first round in 13 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Coastal going to get to the fifth inning with at least a 2 run lead.... 4-2 Bottom 4, Coastal to bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GT pitcher clearly balked with a runner on first and he’s claiming he heard the ump call time. The umps went under the stadium for some reason though balk calls are not reviewable. Announcers said that GT has put the game under protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 They uphold the balk. It’s likely someone in the stands yelled something that confused the pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 GT RF not having an inning. Throws a ball away that allows the batter to get to second. Then missed a bouncer that goes to the wall allowing a run to score and the batter to second. He’s going to hit a game winning HR now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Every angle shows players and umps looking toward the 1st Base side as the pitcher stopped. It's obvious that somebody over there said something, time or balk or something that made the pitcher stop in mid pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 NCAA denies the protest. A fan had yelled, “balk!” (Or maybe “ball”) during the pitch and was not ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
