Just get Kent out.

So the same song and dance that has cost this team before. This is the best offensive outing of the World Series for Texas A&M by far.

Yeah and the bats just haven’t been there. Had a chance to tie it up or make it a 1-2 run game at least a few times, but watching strikes go down broadway.

 

[Orange931]

Maybe Loy should be starting

Probably will next year.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Kinda harsh take on your best hitter

He clearly wasn't best hitter tonight, love CMO but his ABs were not competitive at all, down 0-2 every AB and could not track anything like he normally does. Maybe he needed a down game to reset and be ready for tomorrow. My fear is he will press harder tomorrow and have the same results, hope I am absolutely wrong

 

[ItchyVols]

What’s weird to is I had gone grab some food, and when I got back, my tv was on cornhole, I thought it was over already. Haha

 

[Switch 625]

Enough of the Kents already.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Really hope Beam is on his game tomorrow.

Think Aggies hold on to their Ace until Monday/ game 3 situation. Hoping for a Rocky Top miracle in the bottom of 9th, but somewhat confident if we drop this one

 

[rockytop25]

I love C-Mo but the best players shine on this stage. Instead he has been in his own head and provided zero positive impact on this game. Cant have that from your alpha

Terrible take. Baseball isn’t like football/basketball. You have bad nights plenty of times on big stages regardless of who you are

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Maybe Loy should be starting

Sunday next season

Hopefully it'll be the last good performance by their bats too.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

We’re not too concerned about winning by letting hitless Stark hit trailing by 4 in the 8th inning

Tell me you don’t understand defense vs offense balance in baseball without telling me

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

That last part has probably been the most disappointing part of it

I hope he resets and comes back in typical CMO mode tomorrow

 

[Orange.]

Unfortunately, Aschenbeck has only thrown 18 pitches

 

[patrick]

Don’t want to see the damn dad anymore.

 

[BreatheUT]

A damn shame.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Peebles could catch 1 inning.

And if you tie the game and pebbles throws a ball in the outfield in the 10th ? Then you would be on TV for making the change

 

[barney]

Probably will next year.

Really impressed with him so far more so than any of the rest of the staff tonight

 

[hardyemt_p]

The whole team looks weak in there knees. Wtf is going on

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Enough of the Kents already.

All we are gonna see until we beat this damn team

 

[volsagain]

Scary, we may see him in Sunday's game unless we up the pitch count in the 9th...
Hope not

He will pitch tomorrow if they need him too.

 

[firestorm]

Bottom of the 9th

Make the magic happen.

 

[Go47]

I hope we can get in just a few more shots of Jeff Kent.

I was unaware he was there.

Did they not pitch their ace tonight

 

[Aerie Vol]

Score 4 for free baseball.

Let's just get 5.
