1. Really disappointing performance today. Shit happens in baseball, but we just seemed hung over (maybe we were after last night's win?). Terrible bullpen and really oddly poor performance at the plate.
2. We didn't play Kentucky baseball. We routinely had runners at 2nd and 3rd and we almost always find a way to get them in. Not today.
3. Sucks that a-hole South Carolina couldn't take one game from UT in Knoxville. I hate sharing the title with those turds.
4. On the plus side, the top overall seed hasn't won the CWS since the 90s. One could argue that UK did not need that albatross around its neck. Let UT wear that crown of thorns.
5. Waldy and Pitre and Nicholson are on fire heading to Hoover. McCoy and Grant Smith are an absolute disaster at the plate right now.
6. Our pitching has me extremely nervous. Pretty confident in Pooser and Mason Moore (though when he walks a lot of people, it gets dicey), but Niman is DICEY and our bullpen is starting to leak oil.
The good news is that I haven't seen a team that is better than UK except for UT. We can go far. The SEC tourney gives me mixed emotions b/c I don't want to wear out our pitching staff over a meaningless conference tourney, but then again, it would be cool to do well. Hoping for the best.
