Earley deserves a ton of props for how he managed the last few innings of that game.

I think he managed really well today and yesterday both. I thought he let Darden run a little long today but it's totally understandable why and easy to see both sides. Well done by the young skipper. He matched up evenly with an all-time great this weekend.

Travis Chestnut with a great bunt that allowed for the victory and Duer sitting where he belongs.
Great Win!

I have never seen so many lead changes the last 2 days. Good to have the final one both days.

Now we root for separation that makes us clear 2 or 3 seed in the tourney, which I feel like should lock up a top 8 seed. Get the important bye at the tourney, get rested and ready to make a run.


We're guaranteed the 3, no matter what. UF and Bama winning makes them 18-12. We'll have 1 less loss.
Hogs suck, Horns suck, everyone else I can deal with.

I was watching the game last night while playing guitar. Thought this was appropriate to post after the win today.

The whole damn thing. He started the same guy in two different games in the same series. As the announcers said, that doesnt happen a whole lot and when asked what we could expect from a pen standpoint he just kind of casually said "a whole lot of guys".

This was a great team win by all involved. Fantastic series to watch after the shellacking in game 1

I was focusing particularly on the pinch hitting Partida, pinch running TK, and then pinch hitting Chestnut to sacrifice bunt. After that risking it with a pitcher who threw 52 pitches yesterday in Freshcorn. That's next level coaching moves.

Can someone explain why in the **** we pulled Powell. Freshcorn is dead armed.


Did we just see a near death experience?

But really, where's Powell been?

That's a massive series win. Especially after Thursday. Good job boys.

Thanks for the PBP and thread upkeep

Really just seems like a nod to the season in general. Wasn't exactly pretty but stayed in and fought and took the W on grit and perseverance. We are still in control of our destiny as we move forward. Love it!

He throws "angry strikes", just Asch used to.

There is a definite body language difference in a lot of our pitchers that I have noticed. Sdao used to have it, and now he doesn't so much, but when one pitch bites them, shrug it off and off to the next pitch.

Im not a sports psychologist at all, but you can tell how they feel about their next pitch by their body language on the previous. Freshcorn don't care, he's like a honey badger.

Shane is having trouble with his pitches going where he wants them to post-injury and he seems to know it after delivery, but pick yourself up, young man, head up and shoulders back and dial in focus on the next one. He seems to get down on himself more than he should have and it affects the next pitch more than he wants it to and that's not a good head space to get into. He's elite stuff, he just needs to not put the weight of the team on his shoulders and trust his defense. I am really high on Shane as a critical piece in the post season, he just needs to shake it off a bit.

I guarantee you Powell just earned more playing time in the postseason.

Sean and I were discussing this last night. Freshy is just no nonsense. Throw a pitch, get the ball back, throw the next one.

He lives and dies by pounding the strike zone with rhythm.

I'm glad the bats came in clutch. Would've been extremely disappointing to lose a game where they walk you 13+

HUGE win and great job by Earley!

Big game win, big series win.

Regional host at Olsen Field as is well and right. Top 8 seed unlikely but a very high non national seed.

After the disappointment of last season and all the issues, Earley has shown he can be the coach / manager we hired him to be. Still need to improve pitching recruting and IMHO pitching coach.

Just a huge win. Period. Love to see the scrappiness. I don't feel we have the pitching to get to Omaha, but this was a much needed win for the program. Well done boys.

it was a great series

and a rematch is a definite possibility in a few weeks

State could be the #10 or #11 host

I will hear no trash about my boys E-A-R-L-E-Y or BINDY this week.

Do not bring it. They can do no wrong for the next 4 or so days.

Powell has some great stuff, but inconsistent control. He really stepped up today.
