Had to leave. Employee family fun day at the Marriott Grand National for an hour or so. What’s the score?
OT: Boogs in the Raleigh not men’s softball Regional
- Thread starter DufnerFanBoy
- Start date
So I was trying to figure out who NC State was going to throw against us and I landed on some guy named Klyman. Then I noticed he is in the game for NC State and scrolled through twitter to find out that the guy they started against Army had to leave due to back stiffness. That's a big blow for them for sure.

They had to burn their top middle reliever because their starter had some back problems today, so that's good. Gonna be starting a #3 or #4 quality guy. Their closer is still available.
1999
I didn't see that particular play (I made some delicious fish tacos) but probably to keep them out of the shift that they were playing.
this game is most likely over. You guys are welcome for me finally watching. Gonna turn it off though once Westworld starts

We just got an extremely lucky bounce and the 2B made an incredibly heads up play to turn the double play.
PS: Pitchers walking/hitting batters with no one on base and a multi run lead is probably my biggest pet peeve in baseball.

Mine is the sacrifice bunt with 2-5 hole hitters with no outs.
Well by god...Butchie(old man joke) just draggin his nutz all over the chins of the haters. How do they taste boys? I'm guessing Super!!
Butch takes AU to its 2nd Super in school history. Definitely best coach since Hal Baird.
Congrats to the not men’s softball Boogs.
Pretty good job by Butch it appears. Thank you Greg for updates throughout the year as I still haven’t watched a game but feel like I know the team
He's been hitting since the Bama series. A couple of people just didn't notice it til yesterday.
And first SEC title in basketball since 1999. Plus SEC West Crown in football. What are we supposed to be, satisfied or good? Or neither?
Pretty sure not men’s equestrian won the ship this year.
Steven Williams is gonna be such a stud.
Tanner and Casey give us a very good 1-2 punch against UF.
Proud of these guys and happy to see Butch get the season turned around in a big way when we were reeling a couple weeks back.
If Tanner can get us a win in Game 1, you gotta like our chances with the #1 pick on the mound for a shot at Omaha.

haven’t watched a single pitch all year - following the threads here after the fact is far more entertaining...
my only thought is - Mize scuffled down the stretch and my guess is the mounting pressure of being the #1 pick had to play some part in it, whether small or large... my guess is that once the draft is over today, that pressure will be gone and he can pitch stress free this weekend and be back to normal
or the pressure of living up to being the first pick will make him crack even more
but I’ll go with the less pressure thing because that feels better
either way, I won’t be there to watch, but don’t worry - I give you my word I’ll be just as proud as any of you when we win

Maybe. He had 3 bad outings by his standards and still gave up only like 13 earned runs, and had 21 strikeouts and 3 walks. He had a few passed balls in the TAMU game.
Im not sure if Burns will pitch game one. I think if Singer pitches for UF, we will go with Mize
Will be interesting to see. Both Mize and Singer threw on Saturday.
Our pet peeve is the same. I’d rather see a pitcher give up 3 HRs with a 7-run lead than walk or hit a batter with no one on. Drives me crazy.
I’m generally not a fan of sac bunting those guys, especially with no outs, but we did it a couple times this weekend with success. Like last night, I thought it was really important to get off to a quick start and get an early run or two. We sac bunted Wright in the first, which allowed us to prevent a rally killing double play and score a run later in the inning.
During a regular season game, I’d be fairly upset about that kind of decision. In the situation we were in last night, I liked it. It seemed like the smartest decision to ensure an early run or two.
Yeah I wouldn't be shocked if both teams throw their aces on Saturday. I think Burns will throw on Friday no matter what. If that ends up being against Singer then so be it.

I didn't see anything last night that should have led us to believe that getting the bat on the ball would be hard to do though.
If we were playing against their ace pitcher, I'd agree. They were pitching a freshman with an 11 ERA in conference play against us. Swing away.
I'm not gonna be like that dude on TBB that was genuinely mad about it. I get the play and why you do things.
