What's the deal with CMO missing 89-90mph fastballs down the middle of the plate tonight? Bad day to have an off game.

This guy is throwing changeups like 74-75 mph. That 88-90 probably seems like 95 after seeing the off speed pitches he is throwing

 

[VOLinAL]

Prager just works everyone into a 0-2 or 1-2 count and it’s hurting. Strike zone isn’t helping on bit.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Valiant effort except out because got foot narrowly on top slightly before Moore.

Never on top, sole to side of base it looks like. Out is out.

 

[Go47]

Spotting them 7 is it

Spotting them 2 . . . Started it.

Stamos is throwing batting practice every outing for a long time now.

5-2 feels very different.

Legoooooooooooooo Kirbyyyyyyy!!!!

 

[berryvol]

It wasn't that close.

The replay with the foot coming off the bag seemed close. But the challenge was very dumb bc no one in our dugout could see that. Was entirely C-Mo just not wanting to concede to being out.

 

[kptvol1]

8 hits and 7 runs for the extended zone guys. 7 hits and 2 runs for the Media bad guys.

 

[vol94]

One of announcers said it best, he is just seeing it a click late. I’m assuming it has something to do with Pragers delivery.

Kid is a quality pitcher.

I think we forget that aTm is an elite team with players heading to the pros. I can’t stand losing but at some point you must give the other team credit.

The game isn’t over but I’m a bit on edge down 7-2 top of 5th.

 

[Zues1]

Game isn't even half way over. Their ace is almost done. Anything can happen.

Agreed

Not helping that Prager has gotten a wider strikezone that us on several key ABs

 

[firestorm]

Impressive throw to get the out.

 

[Orange.]

Down 5 after 4. Same as FSU game 1. I'm not panicking.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

He was bunting for a basehit.

I hope not with a runner on first and nobody out and down by 5.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Kirby needs to keep them right here and give the bats at least a shot to come back

 

[patrick]

How can a team be flat when you are playing for a College World Series win?

I don’t know but most of them look like they are slogging thru mud.

Not much life tonight.

Now burning KC.

Don’t like this because I doubt we come back. Save him for tomorrow.

 

[LLcoolDave]

I clench every time the ball goes Amicks way

 

[lilesrt]

Is Stamos a senior?

 

[firestorm]

Strike 2

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Is Stamos a senior?

Grad transfer I think

 

[tbh]

Is Stamos a senior?

Yep, or...maybe he's a graduate(?)

 

[utVolFanInVA]

How good is their bullpen?

A&M has the 3rd ranked bullpen in NCAA with a 3.62 ERA. TN has 2nd ranked bullpen in NCAA with a 3.51 ERA. It will be tough sledding all series long.

 

[Orangeslide]

We

Nobody. We’ve seen this movie before.

not choking. Lot game left. It’s a 3 game series. Beam and Zander will be ready. I like our chances to win the championship

How can a team be flat when you are playing for a College World Series win?

not flat. Our players are trying to win. Baseball is hard. They are not gonna sit it on a tee for us to hit

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Out. Of course

Well. if you watcher the reply, you see the base move up when the first man touches it with his foot.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Our 2 strike pitching killing us
