3 up, 3 down for Mizzou in their 1st 0-0

[commadore]

I can say without a doubt that I already don't like that cocky B@$t@rd pitching for Mizzou. Martin hits it back to the mound, he flips it into the air, catches it with his left hand, then throws to first. It was like he was saying ".440 average huh, I got you, buddy." Hope we can make this fat punk pay.

Vandy gets on the board with a Scott RBI. 1-0. Oh, Harrison Ray just knocked in another run. 2-0 VU 1 out in the bottom of the 4th.

Mizzou isn't very classy at all. One of their coaches was yelling F bombs yesterday. Their the most garbage talking team I've seen since the UMass directional team a couple years ago. A couple of the players were mocking the "JJ Bleday" chants earlier in the game. I was actually kind of rooting for the (when they weren't playing Vandy) but now I put them at the bottom of my list.

Mizzou tied the score in the top of the 5th. 2-2 now.

Vandy left 2 on in the 5th. Still 2-2 going to the 6th.

Rocker is out of gas. Hanging his breaking ball.

Now we are being out-fundamentaled. No excuse for that from our veterans.

[commadore]

Also as poor a defensive effort as I've seen in a while. Not necessarily errors, but bad throws (e.g. Paul's throw home just now) and just missed grounders (Ray's comes to mind). No plate production off a guy who doesn't look that good. Actually, is a fat-@$$ed punk.

You're probably right about the "punk" part, but he looks pretty good to me, especially against our lefties. And his ERA is something like 1.2? He's got something going on.

Sikkema is done for the day. Bullpen is in.

Even hitting better, infante looks lost at the plate. Won't be sorry to see a new first baseman next year.

Good news is women avenge regular season loss to Texas A&M in the sweet 16 of NCAA tournament. Played across street from our struggling baseball team today. Score 4-0 in the match. On to quarter finals.

We are in the bottom of the 8th. Mizzou has a 5-2 lead. It don't look good.

[geeznotagain]

Well, a 3-1 week wouldn't be so bad. Go Raby! And go LSU and Auburn. A rainout tomorrow wouldn't help any either.

Maybe so, but all he did was throw strikes. We hit the ball hard all the time he was in, just right at people. More bad hitting luck and poor defense.
