Vandy didn't play well last night, I expected Corbs to have them laser focused tonight. Hit the ball well in the 1st, excellent throw, short-hop catch & tag barely cut off the not swift Bulger at home. Good aggressive top of the first regardless.

Last night's fastball strike zone was tight; shaping up the same early tonight. I'm wondering if the CF camera angle is just really funky.

There was a time they didn't allow pitchers to have those 6-8 inch strings off his glove. When did that change?

And having said said that Owen gets a fastball called strike 3 that looked really high to end the inning I don't know...
And now Vastine gets rung up on an inning-ending strike 3 call that looked really low, particularly as this series' balls & strikes have been called. Wow...

Well crap. Error comes back to haunt us with a 2 run dinger. 2-2

Self-inflicted pain is a bitch. Also added 9 pitches to Owen's pitch count.

As bad as the TV guy is as an announcer, he's a reallllllly bad interviewer.

Schreck's oppo-field RBI single looked like a fast pitch slap-swing. Pretty cool looking.

Schreck channeled his inner EBjr and basically stole home when Mizzou forgot to cover the plate. Got those 2 runs back...Sweet!!!

Does Bulger get an RBI for that?
They gave him one on the scorecard. Not sure I agree with that, but like most things, my opinion wasn't solicited.

Why do you think so many announcers call Bradfield "Bradford"?

Owen strong finish to 5th, needed it. You think Boki in the 6th?

Athlete announcers from SEC schools. They can't read.
