NC ST VS UK Game Thread

That last one had me too but we still had a chance at revenge if we lost, stakes were a bit higher today, and my heart responded accordingly.
That was the best game ever. I can't believe the grit this team has.
Winning that game, specifically with the up’s and down’s is the recipe for a winning team. Not saying they win it all, but you’ve got to be able to win games like that if you stand a chance.

Yeah, really. That post should be placed in the Hall of Shame.
Seemed like half the thread was ready to give up. Finishes like this are why you don't!
I believe I stayed until the end didn't I? And the pressure was getting to them. They worked through it.
Don't come in here and start bs. I'm happy. Our boys proved they should be playing for it all.
On to the next.
So, do we prefer Florida or a and m or who cares?
In basketball I generally prefer lower seeded team and then if they beat UK tip your cap. Florida is pretty good though.
Edit: see Florida has 28 losses. Yeah. I'll take them

Be glad I'm not one of the "football only" or "basketball only" fans that are on this board. Hell, I started the damn thread when no one else seemingly was going to.
I'll be here win, lose, or draw in this series.
Yes it was. Those are the kind of plays you have to make. That sparked some life back in the team. You could tell it!
Very true. No easy games in Omaha.
Battle of the luckiest teams ever tomorrow night with UT vs UNC though.
The team looked a bit overwhelmed with the stage and didn’t play overly good. I hope this takes the stress off of them and they play like they can. The other things that I am a bit surprised is that they have won with Waldy doing nothing. He needs to get going.
Battle of the Underserving.
UT has the worst fans known to man. And UNC is the biggest academic frauds known to man. As always with two teams I don't like, rooting for a power outage. Sadly, it's summertime and unless the game take 5 hours.....
NC State also had the pressure on them too. We homered off that freshman pitcher and their big closer didn't live up to his numbers at all. Gotta stay positive, it was only a one run game for crying out loud.
I understand that. We were struggling on offense as well. We got two good shots and that's all we needed.
Time to rest up and prep for either UF/A&M
Is anyone else exhausted after that? Lol
Completely disagree with this (and I did before the Daly homer). I'll agree that Burkes has become an auto out, but 4, 5, and 6 have been excellent for UK. Lopez is a great hitter at the four spot, Daly has been clutch in the postseason.
I’ll agree that I’m not always excited to see Burkes in the 3 hole. But, you’re also talking about a very smart and experienced player in that role. If Waldy and Petre are able to get on then you trust his experience to move them bases.
With that said, his bunt today was brutal..
Hopefully, there will be some more games that will replace this game as the "best game ever".
I'm rooting for A&M. I hate Florida baseball, from "Jac" to Kevin O Sullivan (the second most annoying coach in the SEC). Florida is red hot, but A&M has some injury issues, so I'd rather play A&M.
Burkes bunt was brutal, but the caught stealing looked like it came on a broken hit and run. Daly was clearly trying to push the ball to the right side. The pitcher just made a good pitch that made making contact tough. Even if Daly does contact the ball there it probably goes foul.
Daly smashed the shit out of that hanging breaking ball. Even more impressive if that were a slider and not a curve ball because hitters are batting .028, I repeat .028 on that guy's slider.
Great win for the "BAT"tle Cats. These guys don't give in. They battle until the end. Even in a day where they struggled at the plate, the team with the least amount of home runs hit that made it to Omaha, the Cats hit 3 of them today. They find ways to win. That's a championship level quality team.

Yes, Burkes is driving me insane at the plate. I think the coaches feel that his experience and "heart" will eventually lead to better results at the plate. That was the case last year when he really started to improve at the plate toward the end of the year. This year, I have no idea what went wrong, but the wheels have fallen off.
The good news is that Daly and Mccarthy have really stepped up in the postseason, and Lopez and Nicholson and Pitre continue to be hot.
If we could just get SOMETHING out of Burke,s McCoy, smith, and WALDY...
I feel it in my bones that Waldy is getting ready to go on a streak, would be the spark that pushes us deep in this tournament.
Yeah, I root like crazy for ALL UK sports! Don't know why we wouldn't! Love the baseball team. Love the basketball team. Love the football team. Love the rifle team. Love the volleyball team. Etc., etc.
This. Baseball is just tough to follow down here in WKY because it's just not on radio or tv much. I'm uber excited! I just want them to finish strong! Today was a good win! I know we're all glad we made it to the CWS. Now, why not win it all?
Why not us?
That game alone was worth the trip. Windy as hell all game. Our HRs could almost have landed in a garbage can.
