Owen needs to trust his offspeed stuff.

I won’t be shocked to see Reilly soon. Pitch count up. And fastballs are dangerous tonight anyway…

I agree. But That pitch wasn’t close. Ump must have blinked. Bottom of the zone - but a strike without doubt.

Hopefully he squeezes Oregon too.

Schreck awakens. That ball was sent into orbit. Balls going into the stratosphere to right field. 4-4 after 2.
You're right about that Utah, but Roanoke is also right; there is no way--none--that that pitch wasn't a strike. He's called 4-5 others in the same spot strikes. Just a blown call that cost Vandy a run.

We've got some great infielders they make things look easy on that double play.

Ump just did it again - but we converted a double play on the next one.

Still this ump isn’t just using a tight zone - he’s arbitrary. The same pitch is a strike and then a ball.

Freaking Oregon has made three great plays in the field. I give them credit. First baseman robs Maldo.

We just went down 1-2-3 for the first time in what feels like a long time…

Owen is getting nothing from this guy.

He’s doing a good job of not letting it get in his head.

But it’s disheartening me - and raising pitch count.

If we get out of this inning without a run leaving Owen in I'd be surprised. His close pitches aren't going his way and they are barreling him up when he throws it down the middle

Another 1-2-3 - we need to return to the line drive single model.

A lot of upper cuts - but also mostly contact. Oregon pitcher is getting more deep flies than k’s.

Their leadoff guy does what Bradfield should do more often. Slap and run.

He’s dangerous as a leadoff base runner too. Adding pressure to our d.

Ginther is an interesting choice here straight off an injury.

Oregon is swinging for singles - and it’s working.

I was just about to write that. Every time Bradfield hits a fly ball I want to scream. He needs to pay attention to how #56 swings the bat and USES HIS SPEED!

Corbs must be thinking about talking to this ump.

He is REALLY screwing us. Our pitchers more than theirs by a lot.

Ump has now cost us 4 runs.

I’m going to stop talking about it - because it’s counter productive and I’ve said it, but the NCAA should grade this guy and send him home.

This strike zone is maddening.
